Laboratory studies have found that compounds found in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), rather than EVOO itself simply acting as a cancer treatment, can kill or inhibit several types of cancer cells grown in the lab.

These compounds—particularly oleocanthal, hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein—have been studied in cancer cell lines including breast, prostate, pancreatic, colorectal, liver, stomach, leukemia, melanoma, lung, thyroid, ovarian, cervical and brain cancers. Different studies tested different compounds, extracts, concentrations and cancer cell lines, so it is not accurate to say that one experiment proved EVOO kills exactly 13 types of cancer.

One of the most studied compounds is oleocanthal, a natural phenolic compound present in extra virgin olive oil.

Laboratory research has shown that oleocanthal can damage the lysosomes, structures inside cells that contain digestive enzymes, causing cancer cells to die. Other olive-oil compounds have been reported to interfere with cancer-cell growth and survival pathways or trigger programmed cell death.

Watermelon! 🍉 & Heat 🥵
The main benefit of watermelon is its exceptional hydration and high water content (about 92%), which helps keep your body cool, prevents dehydration, and supports daily organ function.

💧🐝 HISTAMINE & SWELLING: WHAT DOES YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

Ever had a day where suddenly your:

👀 eyes look puffy
💍 rings feel tighter
🤧 sinuses feel full
🔥 skin feels itchy or flushed
💧 face or hands feel swollen

…and you wonder:

“What on earth happened?”

Here is one fascinating piece of the puzzle. 👇

🐝 MEET HISTAMINE

Histamine is not the enemy.

It is an important chemical messenger involved in your immune system, digestion, blood vessels and nervous system.

One major source of histamine is our mast cells.

When mast cells are activated:

MAST CELL ACTIVATION
↓
🐝 HISTAMINE IS RELEASED
↓
🩸 BLOOD VESSELS BECOME MORE PERMEABLE
↓
💧 MORE FLUID + PROTEINS CAN MOVE INTO THE TISSUES
↓
🌿 THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM HELPS COLLECT THE EXCESS TISSUE FLUID

💡 And THIS is where histamine and lymph meet.

💧 WHY CAN PUFFINESS APPEAR SO QUICKLY?

Histamine can change blood-vessel permeability quite rapidly.

That means fluid movement into the tissues can change quickly too.

Suddenly you may notice:

→ puffy eyelids
→ facial swelling
→ tissue fullness
→ redness or flushing
→ itching or hives
→ puffy hands or tighter rings

These symptoms can have many different causes, but histamine-mediated reactions are one possibility.

🧠 LYMPHIE FACT!

Your lymphatic system does NOT simply “detox” or break down histamine.

Histamine is metabolised mainly by enzymes including:

🧬 DAO – particularly important for histamine in the digestive tract.

🧬 HNMT – helps metabolise histamine within tissues.

Your lymphatic system has a different job:

💧 helping collect excess interstitial fluid and proteins from the tissues and returning that fluid toward the circulation.

So remember:

🐝 Histamine changes the fluid environment.

💧 Your lymphatic system helps manage that environment.

🌿 THE BIG TAKEAWAY

Histamine isn’t simply “stuck in your lymph.”

Instead:

Histamine release
→ more vascular permeability
→ more fluid entering the tissues
→ more fluid for the lymphatic system to handle

Different systems.

Different jobs.

But beautifully connected. 💚

And sometimes understanding WHY your body feels puffy, heavy or swollen is the first step toward understanding what your body may be responding to.

Support the lymph. Support fluid balance. 🌿💧
