Ok....the lymphatic system doesnt burn calories like the muscles, however, Lymphatic flow affects METABOLISM!!
How!!!
1. Transports fats & fat-soluble nutrients. Lymph carries fats from the digestive system into the bloodstream. If this process is inefficient due to lymphatic congestion, the body may begin to store excess fat, particularly in areas prone to fluid buildup like the hips, thighs & lower abdomen.
2. Eliminates metabolic waste- therefore having a direct affect on the bodys metabolic rate
3. Supports hormone balance & reduces inflammation load- poor Lymphatic flow slow down detoxification, increasing the bodys overall inflammatory burden..This can impair thyroid function elevate cortisol which has a negative affect on metabolism & weight regulation
