Lymphatic Brushing
This simple technique is the one of the best thing you can do for prevention. Let’s talk about why. The lymphatics are a life-sustaining system that brings nutrients to cells and carries waste back to the proper regions where it can be flushed and repeat. Our bodies contain more lymph than blood. This is why dry brushing is one of the single-most important prevention strategies in your prevention bag! Lymph glands are found throughout the body-and dry brushing can be done most everywhere on the body- but for this segment on breast cancer prevention, we are focusing on the lymph in the upper torso. The hotspot: Your underarms!
Did you know that 1 out of every 2 women have some lymph congestion- and 1 out of every 3 women have significant lymph congestion! (I see it at my thermography center every day)
Did you know the largest majority of breast cancers appear in the Upper Outer Quadrant of the breast? (around the 2 o’clock position) Of those, a significant large number of these cancers have lymph involvement (meaning metastisis to lymph glands) Once cancer gets into the lymph, it goes EVERYWHERE.
Who is more at risk to having lymph congestion?
1. Women who are overweight
2. Women who do not exercise on a regular basis
3. Women who eat a poor diet
4. Women who carry a lot of stress
5. Women who wear anti-perspirant
Who is at less lymphatic risk?
1. Women who are massage therapists and bodyworkers (*winner!)
2. Women who exercise on a regular basis
3. Women who eat a healthy diet
4. Women who de-stress regularly
5. Women who wear minimal or no anti-perspirant
*(The best lymph systems belong to massage therapists and bodyworkers- no matter what their size. Women who do upper body work have a terrific lymphatic flow!!! )
