Beets and oranges are a good combination for moving the lymph and providing the body with phytonutrients. The Lymphatic system moves with citrus fruits. They help hydration and assist in carrying antioxidants to clean out the clogged glands. Beets are alkaline and also support lymph health by serving as a cleansing medium.
