Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) has among its many actions, the ability to stabilize lymphatic vessels by protecting and enhancing the endothelial cells (the ones on the lining) of the lymph system. Another supplement that seems to help with protecting the various parts of the lymph system is Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), a rich source of resveratrol. Additionally, both pleurisy root (Asclepias tuberosa) and inmortal (Asclepias asperula) can help stimulate lymph drainage from the lungs. All these can be found on Amazon or in health food stores. [2021] - Gerald Lemole

A healthy diet should counteract the loss of the micronutrients in processed foods, but there may be need for supplementation to enhance wellness. Some of the supplements that benefit cardiovascular health are vitamins D, C, B, and E; minerals such as magnesium, zinc, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, and selenium; as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidative nutrients such as curcumin, resveratrol, N-acetyl-cysteine, and pterostilbene. [2021] - Gerald Lemole

Resveratrol-a polyphenol found in grapes and wines-has a protective effect when it comes to diseases of the brain, especially Alzheimer's, according to recent research. Pterostilbene-another polyphenol, similar to resveratrol, found in blueberries-is far better absorbed and three to four times better utilized than resveratrol. It supports a healthy lymphatic system by promoting healthy blood flow and circulation, nitric oxide synthesis, better control of blood pressure, and protecting the endothelial cells. [2021] - Gerald Lemole

Walking before eating can offset the detrimental effects of high-fat meals, lowering by 25% the levels of blood triglycerides (a type of fat related to how much sugar you eat, above-normal levels can lead to heart disease). Wait at least an hour after eating, and don't exercise too close to bedtime, as you may then take longer to fall asleep. [2021] - Gerald Lemole
