Immune Systems benefits of Rebounding

The part of the body that is the garbage can that houses all the harmful toxins, dead cells, cancer cells and foreign substances is called the lymphatic system.

To protect the body from cancer cells, fungi, viruses or bacteria the system works together with white blood cells in the lymph nodes to combat these things from infecting the body.

Your immune organs are linked by lymphatic vessels, which include your bone marrow, tonsils, thymus, lymph nodes and your spleen.  This network is very busy and produces and circulates blood cells and antibodies to be able to fight infection, filter bacteria, and eliminate parasites and debris out of your bodies system.

The activation of lymph is the most effective in combating modern-day illnesses because they are immune related. The lymphatic system has no pump like the heart.  Any type of movement or exercise will stimulate the movement of lymph fluid inside the vessels, but the most effective way is rebounding or jumping on the trampoline due to the forces involved when bouncing. 

When you are rebounding or jumping on a trampoline you get the effects called G-forces, which cause a vertical up and down movement.  This movement causes the lymph valves to open and close creating a flow of lymph.  By bouncing you get an increase of flow of up to 15 times which will boost your immune system and creates the perfect pump for your lymphatic system.

Rebounding for Detoxific

Rebounding and jumping on the trampoline is a way to reduce body fat while firming body tissues without requiring a lot of stress.  Running in place on the rebounder or trampolines will burn the calories effectively while helping your body detox.

The metabolic garbage can of the body known as the lymphatic system rids you of toxins such as dead ad cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, fat, infectious viruses, heavy metals, and other assorted junk cast off by the cells. The optimum running performance of this system is vital to the overall health of one’s body.  When you do rebounding and jumping on the trampoline, those movements performed provides the energy component for a free-flowing system that gets ride of these potential poisons. 

There is no pump for the lymphatic system like that of the arterial system.  The arterial system has a heart muscle to move its fluid.  Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like the heart it has to be activated so that the flow of lymph moves away from the tissues that it is servicing and back into the main pulmonary circulation.   For this activation to happen it requires the contraction of muscle from exercise and movement, gravitational pressure, and internal message to the valves of lymph ducts. 

When you are rebounding and jumping you are activating the lymph system, which in return removes waste products from the cells and from the body.  The cells are rejuvenated with food and oxygen by the arterial system.  When bouncing, the lymph system goes through this recycling and rejuvenating cycles many times.

Rebouding and jumping is a lymphatic exercise.   It rides your body of toxic waste and replaces it with nutrients vital to the bodies overall health.  I would recommend it to anyone!

Benefits of Rebounding

One form of exercise that I really love is jumping on the trampoline and mini trampoline.  Throughout the day I jump many times while I’m listening to podcasts and music on my iPod or watch TV if I’m inside. 

The average trampoline is 14 foot across and 3 feet tall and for the mini trampoline its 3 feet wide and 9 inches high.  If used correctly the trampoline and mini trampoline are safe and easy to use and most of all an effective way to exercise.  Some scientists through research have come to the conclusion that rebounding and jumping could be the most effective exercise yet devised by man; especially in response to the effect rebounding and jumping has on the lymph in the body.

The most important thing about rebounding and jumping it that it is FUN, and because of that we stick with it!  Children as you have noticed naturally enjoy jumping on the bed.  Astronauts experience floating in space, which is the same thing your body experiences when rebounding and jumping.  Your body when jumping is in a state of weightlessness at the top of the bounce. 

The trampoline and mini trampoline put the body to gravitational pulls depending on how high the person is rebounding. Rebounding does not put extreme stress on certain joints like that of jogging. Rebounding affects all the joints and cells in the body equally.  Plus you don’t have to worry about cars, dogs or bad weather.

To have FUN or exercise while having FUN is what the trampoline and mini-trampoline are all about.  I can count countless days and nights with jumping on the trampoline, doing tricks, hanging out with friends, and clear nights of watching the stars while being on the trampoline. 

The trampoline is one of the best investments to have for your children and for yourself to endless fun and being able to stay fit by using it for exercise.

Trampoline benefits for Lymphatic System

The human body is made to move.  The lymph system is made to bathe the cells, and carries vital nutrients to the cell and then carries waste away from the cell.  Like the heart is made to pump blood, lymph is totally dependent on the movement of the body to be able to move.  That’s why physical exercise is so vital to ones complete healthiness.   Without exercise and adequate movement, there is no nutrients or waste removed from the cells leaving them swimming in pool of filth and starving them of vital nutrients.  When this happens it contributes to cancer, arthritis and to other degenerative diseases and also to faster aging.    When you do vigorous exercise like rebounding or jumping on the trampoline it has been reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to 30 times.

When lymph fluid moves it goes though channels called “vessels” which have one way valves making the fluid always move in the same direction. 

The lymph system has its main vessels going up the legs, the arm and the torso.  This is the exact reason why moving vertically up and down which you do when rebounding or jumping on the trampoline is so effective to pump the lymph.     
                                                      
Why is rebounding or jumping on the trampoline so beneficial to the lymphatic system? When you rebound or jump this has an affect on every organ, which is directly related to how efficient the lymphatic system and the immune system function.  There are many things the lymphatic system does which include being a defense mechanism against infection, viruses, bacteria and disease.   It is built of fluid, vessels and ducts.  When the lymphatic system is functioning at its peak performance, it clears all the toxins we absorb from the environment, wastes and infection from all tissues of the body through proper flow and drainage.  Rebounding and jumping on the trampoline offers many benefits to the lymphatic system and overall health.

The Trampoline, a Friend Maker


I grew up in a big city with lots of people.  When I was about 12 years old I got the most disappointing news that family was to move to a small city.  As I told my close friends of this sad news one of them that was from a small town told me of a little secret to be able to make new friends.

My friend explained to me about the trampoline.  Living in the city I really didn’t have much experience with the trampoline.  My friend said that by owning a trampoline that it would be an instant friend maker.  He explained that a trampoline is like our city hangout.  With a trampoline it’s a hang out place where you play, talk and have sleep over’s. 

We finally moved and my parents purchased a trampoline.  I was surprised to actually see that I made more friends in a month then I had made living in the previous city.  We had so much fun on that trampoline with countless nights of looking up at the stars.  I’m now converted to the trampoline and the fun and friendships it’s helped me form.
