Every day your cells create waste products which they need to get rid of. The lymphatic system bathes the cells like a gently flowing stream removing these metabolic wastes and keeping your cells clean and happy. Thus, one aspect of the lympatic system can be likened to the garbagemen of a metropolitan city. No one notices or appreciates them until they go on strike and garbage starts piling up everywhere making the city unlivable. If you want to keep your cells clean and happy, keep your lymphatic system healthy.
