I recently read an article about how many whole foods have a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function. The similarities between the food and organ signal the benefit that food provides. Basically saying, you are what you eat.
I did a bit more research and found the similarities between different whole foods strikingly similar. It may surprise you, and hopefully encourage you to continue eating those good-for-you foods. Here are just a few examples.
A sliced carrot looks like the human eye. The lines inside the carrot resemble the pupil, iris and radiating lines in your eye. Science shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A tomato resembles the heart. Tomatoes have four chambers and are red, just like the heart. The lycopene in tomatoes are crucial in the fight against heart disease.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell. Research today shows that grapes are also a profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A walnut is strikingly similar looking to the brain. The shape of a walnut looks just like the left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, and Rhubarb look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength and they replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
