— Diaphragmatic deep breathing. (The diaphragm is an essential respiratory muscle that is powerful in facilitating the lymphatic channels in the abdomen.)— Exercise in any form: stretching, strengthening, walking, jumping, etc.— Movement that facilitates muscle pumping, the best way to move the lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Moving throughout the day, drinking adequate amounts of water, eating a healthy diet, and getting adequate sleep.
