A member asked:
What can you do to make your lymph glands more healthy by diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overall health: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph to see if anything bad is there like bacteria, viruses, cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system, they enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react. A healthy body means healthy nodes.
