Being active is very important for our health. It helps to exercise our heart and ensures that our lungs are in good shape. It also helps to strengthen our muscles, and helps to make sure everything is running smoothly as it possibly can be overall. It also helps to ensure the lymphatic system is running as well as it should.
As mentioned, lymph is circulated with the help from a series of valves, and the contractions of our muscles. If we are inactive then these contractions will not be taking place enough, meaning the lymphatic system does not circulate as well as it should.
