Food scrap receiving. The truck backs up to the door to dump into the pit and then the big red claw scoops up the food waste to be macerated and screened.

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system where cleansing of blood, and the detoxification of our bodies takes place. A huge network of lymphatic vessels recycles blood plasma by removing fluid from the tissues, filtering it, and carrying it back into the bloodstream.
These are 10 foods to add into your diet to boost the lymphatic system:
* Water
May not be a food item, but essential to life. Drink plenty of clean, purified water. Water keeps the lymph fluid hydrated and flowing smoothly.
* Cranberry
Cranberry is an amazing emulsifier of fat which means it helps break down excess fat for the lymphatic vessels to carry away.
* Leafy greens
That green nutrient has powerful cleansing properties and beneficial effects on the blood and thus on lymph fluid as well.
* Nuts and seeds
The essential healthy fats found in seeds like chia, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado, play a role in fighting inflammation. They also strengthen our inner organs walls.
* Adaptogenic herbs
Goldenseal, Echinacea, and Astragalus are three herbsthat help alleviate inflammation and congestion of the lymph nodes and vessels.
* Garlic
Garlic boosts immune function and combats harmful microbes. It improves circulation and aids in the cleansing of toxins. It boosts the function of your lymphatic system and contains antibacterial qualities.
* Ginger / Turmeric
Both have beneficial effects on digestion and circulation; two systems that are tied directly to the processes of the lymphatic system. Also they help reduce inflammation, thin blood and improve circulation.
* Seaweed
Sea vegetables help the body detox and eliminate excess fluid that can build up in tissues and slow the lymphatic system down.
* Citrus
Citrus fruits aid hydration, carry powerful antioxidants and enzymes, and help cleanse and protect the lymphatic system.
I followed the vet's recommendation and here is Jet eating a lot of prescription Hill's easy digestion wet food, with me sitting nearby and Agate eating in the other room. She did eat a lot of it but it didn't clearly agree with her 100%.
I have since learned that her previous foster home at Meow Village only fed them dry Meow Mix (exact flavor not known, it would get shaken up a bit.) The Meow Village person who sent that info from the foster suggested that she would give kittens who are "losing weight or struggling with eating" nutritional gel, such as tomlyn high calorie nutritional gel Malt flavor with Omega 3, 6 and 9.
I got some "Meow Mix Original Choice" and put it on top of their prescription dry food and they rushed over almost as if it were as good as wet food. Who knew. Let's see if that gets her to gain weight. I had her weighed today (6 days after her previous weigh-in) and she weighed the same - but the shiny coat and good spirits were noted, I have also got the Tomlyn nutritional gel. Something will work.

Depurativo - Disintossicante
Formula da 100 ml € 12.50 / 100 compresse 13.50
L’azione drenante di questo preparato è particolarmente utile per la depurazione dell’organismo attraverso la stimolazione di tutti gli organi emuntori: fegato, reni, intestino e pelle aiutandoli ad eliminare le scorie accumulate a causa di una errata alimentazione finalizzata per lo più a riempire la pattumiera stomaco e a uno stile di vita sempre più frenetico e stressante
Un corpo appesantito dalle tossine può presentare una grande varietà di sintomi quali stanchezza, costipazione, difficoltà nella digestione, aumento di peso, gas, gonfiore, eruzione cutanea e irritabilità ecc.
PROPRIETA' DELLE SINGOLE PIANTE PRESENTI NEL COMPOSTO:
Tarassaco (Taraxacum officinalis) Il tarassaco, o Dente di leone, o soffione, o Piscialetto, è certamente conosciuto da tutti i bambini, che almeno una volta hanno fatto volare con un soffio i semi, dotati del caratteristico "paracadute". Da sempre la tradizione erboristica lo ha considerato il prototipo dei depurativi e oggi anche la scienza moderna ne ha dimostrato scientificamente tali proprietà. Abbinato ad altre e specifiche sostanze vegetali opportunamente estratte, otteniamo un preparato, sperimentato ormai da anni,utile per favorire "la pulizia dell'organismo" attraverso la stimolazione di tutti gli organi emuntori: reni, fegato, intestino e pelle.
Cicoria (Cichorium intybus L.) La cicoria chiamata anche "radicchio selvatico" è da sempre utilizzata nelle insalate rustiche, insieme alla valerianella e tarassaco, secondo l'usanza che dimostra gli effetti benefici di certe abitudini alimentari. Nel composto viene usata la radice, più che le foglie, che è la parte più attiva come drenante e depurativo epatico.
Bardana (Arctium lappa L.) Il nome deriva dal latino "Arctium" che significa "orso" per la pelosità delle foglie e da lappa, che vuol dire " essere incollato, restare appiccicato", in relazione al fatto che le brattee della pianta si attaccano facilmente ai vestiti. Nella nostra tradizione continua a essere ritenuta per la sua attività epatorenale, pianta elettiva per la depurazione e il drenaggio, indicata in tutti quei casi in cui si ha un accumulo di tossine.
Betulla (Betula pendula Roth) Mattioli ci parla a lungo di Betulla e della sua meravigliosa virtù "di rompere le pietre tanto dei reni quanto della vescica e di togliere le macchie e sanare le ulcere della bocca". Si utilizzano le foglie caratterizzate da salicilato di metile, flavonoidi, tannini e resine che insieme favoriscono un effetto drenante e l'eliminazione dei liquidi in eccesso.
Cardo Mariano (Silybum marianum L.) Nella credenza cristiana, le macchie bianche sulle foglie sarebbero testimonianza delle gocce del latte di Maria, che si rifugia sotto la pianta di Cardo durante la fuga in Egitto con Gesù (di qui il nome "mariano"). Indicata nei testi antichi come pianta "per pulire sangue e fegato", è oggi scientificamente provato il suo effetto rigenerante sulle cellule epatiche, dovuto alla presenza di silimarina.
Carciofo (Cynara scolymus L.) Il frutto è commestibile e ricco di ferro mentre le foglie sono state da sempre utilizzate per le proprietà depurative e disintossicanti del fegato. Tale effetto è legato alla presenza di sostanze amare, come appunto la cinarina. È tradizione erboristica associare all'amaro un effetto di pulizia e rigenerante per l'organismo. L'amaro stimola infatti la produzione di enzimi deputati al catabolismo e all'eliminazione delle sostanze in eccesso.
Frangula (Frangula rhamnus alnus Miller) La corteccia viene utilizzata dopo un invecchiamento di almeno un anno che determina la perdita di quelle sostanze ad effetto emetico. Rimangono in tal modo i principi antrachinonici capaci di favorire il transito intestinale. La sua azione viene esplicata in modo dolce senza fenomeni irritativi.
Menta (Mentha piperita L.) La menta piperita è un ibrido ottenuto da Mentha longifolia, Mentha rotundifolia e Mentha acquatica, utilizzata anche in gastronomia e come materia prima per l'industria liquoristica, in quanto gli estratti ottenuti dalle foglie esplicano attività "eupeptica", cioè favoriscono la digestione. Inoltre è utile nelle dispepsie fermentative (alito cattivo, fermentazioni intestinali e aerofagie).
Anice (Pimpinella anisum L.) Ombrellifera erbacea coltivata da secoli per i frutti detti comunemente semi. I semi ricchi di olio essenziale dal caratteristico aroma, sono presenti in moltissime preparazioni alimentari e nei liquori. Si utilizza come correttore del sapore, per le sue proprietà di regolare i processi digestivi e favorire l'eliminazione dei gas intestinali che si formano in caso di digestione rallentata.
Cardo Santo (Cnicus benedictus L.) Si narra che l'erba, proveniente dall'India e regalata a Federico III come rimedio per l'emicrania, grazie all'esito riscontrato dall'imperatore, venne nominata"Benedetto". Le parti aeree sono caratterizzate da sostanze amare responsabili del suo effetto, atte a favorire i processi digestivi e una fisiologica produzione della secrezione gastrica.

My mom says these are good for the digestions and you can either buy those little colourful candy coated anise seeds or make your own by mixing course organic brownsugar with anise seeds and eating a pinch of it after a meal.
Small molecules called proteins are involved in every aspect of our lives, from digestion to helping our hearts and brains function efficiently. Life as we know it on earth could not exist without proteins, however either increase or decrease in proteins work efficiency can cause serious health problems. Some of these health problems include paralysis, Alzheimer’s disease, heart failure, and cancer. Scientists improve the understanding of protein’s ability to carry out its tasks by being able to visualise them. Due to the extremely small size of protein, microscopes are not sufficient to view them, instead specialist visualisation techniques/equipment have been developed. Good knowledge of protein structure allows for design of either more efficient proteins or even smaller molecules which can inhibit protein function.
