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

This octopus's incredible camouflage will freak you out

Marine biologist Roger Hanlon shot this footage some time ago but it's enjoying a renaissance, mostly because it's one of the most amazing videos humans have ever seen. Seriously, watch a perfectly camouflaged octopus appear out of nowhere and feel your mind go blank with wonder. The octopus belongs to a group of underwater creatures called cephalopods, who are such masters of camouflage that if they went to war there probably wouldn't be a single casualty because the enemy could never be seen. In fractions of a second, these creatures can match the color and texture of their surroundings by changing pigment spots on their skin called chromatophores. Intriguingly, scientists still don't know exactly how these color-blind animals create such perfect matches.
