Dr. Riina Raudsik talks about lymphatic system and Beautiful Me rollmassage
It is a nice autumn day in what is now, after all the summer hustle and bustle, a quiet city, Pärnu. The summer has been fun and full of activities but now this small city is heading back to the rhythm of winter with its activities - and so are you!
Yes, the human body is also coming out of summer and has to get used to different rhythms and situations. Days that get shorter and shorter, lower temperatures, rainy weather and waking up on a dark morning - how is it all affecting you?
We meet many well-known doctors who are dedicated to the secrets of the functioning of a complex human body.
Dr. Riina Raudsik meets us to share these simple tips on how to stay healthy. Her training sessions are very popular. You can really tell that more and more people are interested in their health.
With Dr. Raudsik, we focus on the importance of the lymphatic system, which people do not think about on a daily basis.
You will find out the right way to look after the human cells and what type of water is beneficial for your body.
"Your body functions as a whole and the lymphatic system is part of it”.
Whole body function starts with the fuel, which is the hydrogen in the nutrients. Food is broken down in our body by digestive enzymes into nutrients - organic acids (compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen), which circulate in the body as salts, ”explains Raudsik.
Raudsik adds that although the body receives energy from acids, most tissues in the body are alkaline, including the lymph. Alkalinity is mainly ensured in the body by the bicarbonate buffer system. Different tissues have different acid-base balances or pHs for optimal function. Bones are powerful storage units for bicarbonate, and the pH of bone tissue is the most basic tissue in the body (pH about 14). Bone thinning is always associated with disturbing the balance of the body's internal environment, when they have to give up their basic salts to maintain the pH of other tissues, so it can be said that bones are also very important in keeping lymph alkaline.
Deviations in the acid-base balance of the body's internal environment lead to an immune attack on its tissues, followed by inflammation.
Easiest way to remember this, is that too much sweet makes your body acidic and anything sour is more alkaline for the body.
How to maintain an optimal tissue acid-base balance when acidic foods predominate in our diet on a daily basis and people are intimidated by the harmful effects of salts?
"Not the whole truth is said about the salts. It is harmful to overdo it with refined salts (NaCl, white table salt). The Himalayan salt is currently the best-known salt with high minerality and the addition of sodium bicarbonate (ie baking soda or 4-salt blend) to the water we drink in controlled doses is suitable and even necessary, because the share of bicarbonate salts in soil and water has become non-existent.
When we talk about metabolism, we are talking about the production of energy in the body, the breakdown of organic acids in each of every fifty trillion human cells. Since the cell has the ability to balance the salt concentration inside and around itself through osmosis, it is clear that the most energy efficient is to drink water with a salinity or mineral content that is similar to the cells. The intracellular pH is neutral, 7.0, and probably has such a low pH is necessary so that the cell is able to survive in a more extreme environment than, for example, blood. So that it is not destroyed due to excessive acid accumulation, for example in stronger athletic performance. Lightly alkalising body fluids through drinking water allows cells to get rid of acidic residues more easily and is the fastest way to stabilize the environment. The cellular environment determines whether a person is healthy or sick, whether his or her most important defense, the immune system, is attacking them or not. The free movement of lymph plays a crucial role in preserving the environment, ”emphasizes Raudsik.
Talking to Riina Raudsik about the quantity of water a human body needs, she explains that actually what makes a huge difference is what kind of water we drink.
"The daily water flowing from the tap does not contain enough minerals for the body. Natural water has also remained poor in minerals and rich in heavy metals precisely because of human activity. Heavy metals block the work of enzymes and energy production processes. If we drink so-called fresh water, there will be no adequate thirst and the soil is favorable for the development of diseases" warns Dr. Raudsik. High blood pressure is the most common disease caused by banning salts in drinks or food. Salt-free food does not cause thirst, does not make people drink water, which causes the blood to thicken, the heart has to work harder to direct the thick blood to the tissues, the kidneys can no longer produce enough urine to cleanse the body, and the result is disease, cell destruction.
You can read more about water in Riina Raudsik's blog and in her book "Energy Crisis".
What is the importance of the lymphatic system, which is unknown to so many?
"There are two flowing tissues in the body - blood and lymph. We know quite a lot about blood. There are two systems in the bloodstream - the arterial or high blood pressure system, which carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body, and the low pressure system, venous blood, which brings carbonated (acidic) blood back to the heart. The acidic end product of metabolism CO2 is excreted into the environment through the lungs, thus regulating excessive acidification of the environment.
Lymph is a fluid that moves parallel to blood vessels and has many lymph nodes in its path. Lymph, like blood, must be alkaline (pH 7.36-7.42), "explains the doctor.
The lymph absorbs everything foreign or unnecessary from the intercellular fluid.
The functions of the lymphatic system are:
- Bring the purified lymph from the tissues back into the bloodstream
- Remove fluid from the extracellular environment to prevent swelling.
- Remove dead cells, incompletely developed cells, excess bacteria and fungi from tissues
- Transport fatty acids from the digestive system to the blood.
Lymphocytes and macrophages in the lymph nodes are supposed to render about 1 BILLION false cells a day in a properly hydrated body. If there is a fault in the system (such as a lack of water), it will be disrupted and the body will be open to inflammation again. Through inflammation, the body then tries to restore its balance.
LOW WATER CONSUMPTION CAUSES SWELLS. Water is in the space between the cells and in reality there is a lack of water within the cells. Best treatment for this is a progressive increase in your intake of the right kind of water.
Why does swelling occur?
"In the absence of the right body-specific water, the body stops the water from exiting through the kidneys with various hormones and the water gets trapped around the tissues, especially in the intercellular fluid. The cell protects itself from water loss by intensifying cholesterol synthesis. Swelling means that there is little or no water in the bloodstream, thick blood flow, poor blood flow, risk of thrombosis and high blood pressure, inflammatory diseases, including progressive atherosclerotic damage to the blood vessels. There is one good solution - drink the right kind of water!
"If you drink the right water properly every day, a person weighing 70 kg will start to regain water balance in the body in about 21 days, not sooner. Consumption of large amounts of water does not accelerate its uptake by tissues, ”says Raudsik.
"A person should drink 30 ml / 1 kg of water, unless they weigh more than 100 kg. Rest of the water needed comes from food and liquid intake,” says Dr Raudsik about water consumption.
When going for Beautiful Me rollmassage treatment, there must be enough water in the body and daily intake of water must be sufficient. This is to keep the lymph flow running. Beautiful Me rollmassage enhances the movement of blood and lymphs.
Beautiful Me rollmassage salon’s experienced hosts teach you how to prepare the right kind of mineral water. A bottle of water is also provided during the Beautiful Me rollmassage procedure, to which these correct and necessary minerals are added if desired.
What else but water helps keep the lymphatic system clean?
- Moving, jumping. It is not the heart that sets the lymph, but the muscle work.
- Bowel cleansing. If there is not enough water in the intestines, the lymph will not work.
- Stress reduction. Peace and quiet during the day, adjustment of thought.
- Dry brushing.
- Increasing the intake of plant-based foods.
- Proper breathing - the diaphragm is a muscle whose movement activates the vagus nerve, which is the representative of our body's parasympathetic nervous system - the opposite of stress.
- Sweating. Sauna, infrared, moving involves sweating.
- Keeping your feet up.
- Omega fatty acids and good sleep.
- Lymphatic massage, which is indispensable for those who for some reason cannot move actively. For example, for those people who have joint wear and tear, old traumas, excessive obesity, which cannot and should not be applied to the body at the same time.
Beautiful Me rollmassage is ideal for those who have to sit a lot due to their work and do not have enough time for training. The hour-long procedure helps the lymph to move and all you have to do is add the correct water consumption.
Help your body stay healthy and cope with the changes of the dark times to shine like the summer sun at a time when others are being hit by autumn depression.
