Squeeze In the Years: Compression Therapy for a Longer Life
To understand compression therapy, first think of the phrase âmotion is lotion.âPeople often say this when referring to the benefits of exercise. Simply moving your body is a great way to keep it âlubricated,â as a lot of stiffness results from a sedentary lifestyle. However, motion for health is so much more than physical exercise. Our bodies work 24/7 to move things in, out, and through our various organs and systems, all in a grand effort to keep us at peak health and performance. Think of the simple analogy of a car and a fuel tank. You fill a car with clean fuel, and the car uses that fuel to run.However, a lot of things can get in the way of even that seemingly simple process. Maybe the fuel isnât that clean and filters get clogged. Maybe youâve started to use clean fuel, but thereâs gunk at the bottom of the tank that needs to be drained. Similarly, our bodies have the lymphatic system. This system is a network of organs, vessels, and tissues that help to move lymph (a watery fluid in our bodies) through lymph nodes to filter out waste products and return back into our bloodstream.Although not as heralded as our immune system, our lymphatic system is responsible for protecting us from infection and destroys old or abnormal cells our bodies donât need. Our lymphatic system is our internal âsewer system.âSo how do we take care of our lymphatic system? By keeping it moving. The more efficient our lymphatic system is at moving lymph throughout our body (and draining it when necessary), the more optimally our bodies run and the stronger our immune response is. One way to keep the lymphatic system moving is compression therapy...
