💧Your lymphatic system loves water. Ditch the fizzy drinks—stay hydrated to help flush toxins and support your lymph health. 🥤 Fizzy, sugar-free, and high-caffeine drinks can do more harm than good.

Infographic titled “Maintain Health, Avoid Fizzy Drinks, Drink Water, Improve Lymphatic Health.” It highlights signs of dehydration—dark urine, tiredness, and headaches. It explains that for people with lymphoedema, water helps flush protein from tissues. It recommends drinking 6–8 glasses of fluid daily and notes that fizzy, sugar-free, and high-caffeine drinks can worsen symptoms. It suggests alternatives like cucumber juice, coconut water, or sparkling water with lemon or lime. The L-W-O Community logo and website appear at the top.

🔥 Feeling the heat? If the days blur into blazing sun, the nights stay warm, and even the shade offers little relief—we are in a heatwave. Stay cool, stay hydrated.
