What is the function of lymph fluid

The function of lymph is usually to recycle protein, transport fat, etc., and it can also regulate fluid balance.

1. Recycling protein: Lymph fluid can recycle protein. Some protein molecules in tissues usually cannot pass through the capillary walls and enter the blood, but they can easily pass through the capillary walls of lymphatic vessels and enter the lymph fluid.

2. Transporting fat: Lymph fluid can also transport fat and other nutrients. After food is digested by the gastrointestinal tract, some nutrients are usually absorbed through the small intestinal mucosa. Most of them are absorbed through the capillaries and then transported to the body's blood through the lymphatic circulation.

3. Regulate body fluid balance: The lymphatic return rate is relatively slow, but the daily return fluid is similar to the total body plasma volume. Therefore, it has the effect of regulating body fluid balance and can also play a role in epidemic prevention and immunity. If the lymphatic system is diseased, it is likely to endanger your health. You need to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to prevent more serious consequences.

You should develop the habit of regular physical examinations to detect and treat some diseases early. You should also develop a healthy lifestyle, go to bed early and get up early every day to avoid staying up late for long periods of time, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in immunity. In terms of diet, you should also eat more foods high in vitamins and protein.
