Swelling, blurred contours, a feeling of “fullness,” and slow recovery after exertion rarely appear suddenly. More often, such changes develop gradually, against the background of subtle internal processes in the body. One of the key factors is impaired lymph circulation, when the natural outflow of fluid slows down and tissues begin to retain excess volume. Externally, this is expressed not only through visual changes but also through a decrease in overall bodily comfort.
The lymphatic system functions simultaneously as a drainage and filtration mechanism. It removes metabolic byproducts, participates in immune responses, and maintains fluid balance. When this mechanism malfunctions, tissues literally become “congested,” metabolic processes lose their dynamics, and the skin becomes less elastic. In this state, the body responds worse even to proper nutrition and physical activity.
