But blood has another important function.
It assists the lymphatic system in its operations.
Another key role of the lymphatic system is the cleansing and detoxification of the body.
The lymphatic system cleanses the joints and cartilages of 'metabolic waste products' and hands over these 'waste materials'
from the joint fluid to the blood.
Only when the circulation in the body functions well can the lymphatic system perform its duties effectively.
The problem is, as we age, the fluidity of our blood diminishes.
This not only weakens the lymphatic system but can even 'block' it.
As the lymph flow deteriorates, waste products can no longer be removed from the joints and cartilages, leading to a decrease
in the production of joint fluid.
The entire lymph flow becomes sluggish - like a clogged pipe.
As a result, harmful substances quickly accumulate in the joint fluid, which can trigger inflammation in the joint cartilage.
This 'waste barrier' of inflamed tissue then becomes permanently lodged in the joints. And more and more waste continually accumulates in the joints.
