Published February 22, 2022

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.
