Eating red grapes and blueberries could boost your immune system
Researchers
from Oregon State University analyzed more than 400 compounds to find
out which ones were best at boosting humans' innate immune systems — the
body's first line of defense against bacterial infections. They found
that two compounds stood above the others: resveratrol found in red
grapes, and pterostilbene in blueberries. Both of these compounds, known
as stilbenoids, play a significant role in immune function. While the
researchers pointed out that the results from their laboratory tests
don't yet prove that scoffing red grapes and blueberries will make you
super healthy, they said their research shows the potential of some
foods to improve immune response
