Eating blueberries picked in the wild, called bilberries, can diminish the many undesirable effects of a high-fat diet, including inflammation and rising blood pressure, according to a study at the University of Eastern Finland. 

The research team fed mice a high-fat diet over the course of three months and gave some of them enough bilberries to represent five to 10 percent of their nutritional intake.
