If we review the landscape of health issues, two that lie at the root of a variety of health conditions are a lack of immune cells and a stiffening of the blood vessels.

When our immune system is deficient in natural killer T-cells, the body can be subjected to a variety of autoimmune disorders. Cancer and tumor growth are also related to a lack of natural killer T-cells. And without enough natural killer T-cells, a minor infection can turn into a disaster.

When our blood vessels become stiff, they are not able to pump as much blood around the body. This also leads to hypertension - high blood pressure - and the various issues that relate to that, including kidney issues and heart disease.

Hypertension and reduced natural killer cells - may be reversed through a number of natural strategies, but one of the more delicious strategies comes in the form of eating blueberries. (perkmeup/iStock)
