Blueberries and red grapes may boost immunity

A STUDY announced yesterday has found that chemicals in red grapes and blueberries may boost your body’s immune system.

Researchers from Oregon State University looked at the impact of 446 different chemicals on the human immune system. Findings published in the journal Molecular Nutrition and Food Research showed that two compounds, resveratrol found in red grapes and pterostilbene found in blueberries, when combined with vitamin D, could boost the body’s ability to fend off illness.
