The imbalance between the capacity of one’s lymph transport system and the lymph load is what causes lymphedema in the very basic sense.

The lymphatic system present in the human body not only filters out waste products but also helps maintain fluid balance. This results in a human being not being dehydrated or edematous. Also the extracellular proteins are brought back to central circulation via the lymphatic vessels. This is because diameters of these protein molecules are too big to fit into the openings in the vein walls. The opening of lymphatic vessels is adequate for this.

The truth is though, that we only ask about health when we have a serious problem. A official definition of health is given by The World Health Organization who defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.

If we take a step back and try to see the “big picture” we realize that each aspect of health influences the other aspects, for example if someone has an emotional problem it will cause physical problems, spiritual problems, mental problems and social problems too, so it’s very important to solve the problem when we first see it even if we don’t think that an emotional problem is important. In the incipient phase the emotional problem could be solved by simply talking to a friend, but if we let it develop it could need serious professional help. After this example I think you will want to know more about each aspect of health, so let’s see what they mean and how can we improve them. Read the rest of this entry »
