LYMPH and LONGEVITY

The lymphatic system is one of the least understood parts of the body. Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Gerald M. Lemole sets out why good lymph flow helps the body clear out toxins that can feed disease and injury.

In ten concise chapters, he explains how the lymphatic system works and how much it can do, then shows readers how to keep it functioning well as a way of addressing particular conditions, including heart disease, cognitive decline, and weight gain. Sidebars with charts and graphs lay out the fundamental principles visually.

The book also offers menus, recipes, and guidance on supplements, along with simple yoga and meditation practices. Its focus on protecting oneself and one's community reflects ongoing concern about COVID-19 and other viruses.
