The Lymphatic System is responsible for carrying away the residue of cell metabolism. Think about it as clearing out the trash. Circulation of lymph fluid is stimulated mostly by muscle contraction. As muscles contract the lymph fluid gets squeezed along the system until the fluid reaches a blood vessel where it is deposited. Located at various points throughout the body are Lymph Nodes where bacteria and other noxious substances are filtered out from the lymph system. When the body is overloaded with toxins the nodes can become congested. Congestion can also occur when there is very little muscular activity. Toxic overload and muscular inactivity are functions of age. As we get older, we get some of both. Prostate problems are also a function of age. Are you seeing the connection?

As a result of congestion in lymph nodes, lymph drainage is obstructed. To restore free movement of lymph fluid, it is often necessary to gently massage the lymph nodes. Lymph Node Massage (LNM) is actually important for men near 40 years old or over, particularly those who are sedentary. Sitting for much of the day with little or no physical exercise is commonly referred to as 'a sedentary lifestyle' which has been shown to contribute to many preventable illnesses and even causes of death.
