A daily dose of blueberries given to babies eased allergy symptoms and improved immune markers, a new study found — echoing past research in adults that linked the fruit to gut health and reduced inflammation.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz and Children's Hospital Colorado studied whether feeding blueberries to infants as one of their first solid foods could help strengthen the immune system, reduce allergy symptoms and support healthy gut development.

The research, published in the journals Nutrients and Frontiers in Nutrition, was funded in part by the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council along with grants from the National Institutes of Health.
