Your tonsils, spleen, and thymus are all part of this network, as well as nearly 700 bean-size nodes arranged in various clusters.1 The system's main function is to circulate lymph, a colorless fl uid packed with white blood cells. This action helps fi ght infection and rid the body of metabolic waste, bacteria, and other unwanted substances that could jeopardize your overall health. Like an ever-vigilant watchdog, the lymphatic system recognizes potential hazards and musters your body's defenses to fi ght them while doing double duty as the "trash collector" that removes waste materials from every single cell.2 But even the best watchdog gets tired after it's been on duty for a while, and just like other parts of the body, the lymphatic system can use a little boost from time to time.
