Eat Less Food To Help Slow Down The Ageing Process!
Eat less, live longer! That should be a bumper sticker!
New research found that by eating less food, you can boost the thymus gland function and may help slow the ageing process!
FUN FACT:
(The thymus gland is in the chest between the lungs. It makes white blood cells (T lymphocytes) which are part of the immune system and help fight infection. … These are an important part of the body’s immune system, which helps us to fight infection. The thymus produces all our T cells before we become teenagers.)
The study was conducted at Yale University and says age-related dysfunction of the gland is a reason why immune responses in the elderly are weak.
