Blueberries Boost Immunity and Cut Allergies in Infants.
In 2025, Carina Venter and a team from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studied 84 healthy infants. They randomly gave one group freeze-dried blueberry powder from 5-6 months old, mixed into food, while the control group got no blueberries. They tracked allergies like eczema or food reactions, immune markers in blood, and gut bacteria via stool samples over 6 months.
Pasture-Raised Chicken Enhances Heart and Immune Health.
In a 2024 article from FarmstandApp, researchers highlight the health advantages of pasture-raised chickens compared to conventional poultry. These chickens, raised outdoors with access to grass, insects, and sunlight, yield meat with up to 3x more omega-3 fatty acids, 40% more vitamin A, and 50% more vitamin E, alongside 21% less total fat.
Hot Tubs May Be Better Than Saunas for Heart and Immunity.
A 2025 study from the University of Oregon’s Bowerman Sports Science Center found that soaking in a hot tub raised core temperature the most, triggering stronger cardiovascular and immune responses—like increased heart output, improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and boosted white blood cells—compared to saunas.
