#LymphaticSystem #ScienceExplained #feynman What Happens to YOUR Lymph Nodes When You Squat for 3 Minutes Ever wondered why your glands swell when you're sick? This video breaks down the lymphatic system — your body's second circulatory network with no pump of its own — and reveals what actually happens to your lymph nodes when you hold a squat for three minutes. Discover how the muscle pump moves lymph fluid, why your inguinal and popliteal nodes sit at the center of this movement, and what real science says about lymphatic drainage, immune health, and squats. A fascinating, fact-checked breakdown of your body's hidden filtration system, explained in simple terms.
