By keeping the lymph fluid of the immune system flowing well, you allow it to:

• Help Eliminate Waste
  It transports waste products from where the body's cells excrete them, back into the blood stream. The kidneys, liver and bowel can then take over.
• Help Deal With Infection And Cell Damage
  It transports white blood cells from the 'lymph nodes' in the groin, armpit and neck, to the areas of the body where they are needed. White blood cells are the body's 'clean up squad'. They destroy bacteria and mop up cell fragments from damaged cells.

This is one reason why exercise is so important to keep the body healthy.

The best approach to keeping the Immune System strong is through:

• Herbs - take a course of herbs which are know to boost the immune system
• A good diet - Eat plenty of fruit and non-starchy vegetables every day; a salad with every meal; a variety of fruits and vegetables to make sure you consume every vitamin and mineral you need
• A good exercise regime - As mentioned above, exercise is essential for good immune system function. Get exercise every day if you can; walk for a couple of miles, for example. In addition, vigorous exercise twice a week is valuable. A longer walk, preferably over rough ground, is excellent. Or play a sport.
   

All three of these measures can be combined in a good 3 month Immune Programme.
