Rebounding for Detoxification

by | May 29, 2012 | Detoxification, Integrative Health Blog, Toxins

Rebounding for detoxification is great for the lymphatic system and helps move toxins out of the body. Rebounding, or gently jumping or bouncing on a rebounder or  “mini trampoline”, is a great form of gentle exercise. The lymphatic system runs next to the circulatory system. The circulatory system has a pump to pump blood through but the lymphatic system does not have a pump. The lymphatic system is like the “garbage can” of the blood and takes toxins out of the bloodstream.

Why Rebounding as Exercise?

 

For health and our well-being, we are told to exercise for about 30 minutes a day. Exercise helps the lymphatic system move out the toxins so they are not reabsorbed back into the body.  The type of up and down, vertical motion done on a rebounder is especially helpful for lymphatic drainage. It only needs to be done for a few minutes a day and is a good thing to add to your exercise regimen.

In this short video I will demonstrate the motion and you can see how easy it is to use rebounding for detoxification and exercise.
