13 foods that look like the body parts which are useful for us
Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be food."
I will try to show 13 foods whose shapes look like the human organs and are useful
for us. I would like to find the link between diet and disease, and between food and
health.
1.WALNUT - BRAIN
.
The core of the walnut resembles the human brain and it is very good for it. One
nut per day will improve your memory. Sometimes the walnut is compared to junk
food because it contains also fat and calories. However, many studies appear in
order to refute this assertion. Walnut contains essential oils, antioxidants, vitamins,
minerals, protein and fiber, all these make it a very healthy food. The benefits of
eating it are many. It prevents from depression. Moreover, it contributes to the
health and strength of hair and nails; it inhibits the growth of the prostate, and
reduces the risk of breast cancer. It also helps to prevent heart disease and gives a
lot of energy.

2. 2. TOMATO - HEART
Tomato resembles the heart more than any other fruit or vegetable. Tomatoes are
rich in lycopene, which gives them their red color. It has been shown that the
consumption of lycopene reduces the risk of heart disease. Tomatoes are an
excellent source of vitamin C, which also plays a great role in the heart health.
Consumption of tomatoes, especially organic, gives us a better chance to avoid the
development of cancer.
3. GRAPES - LUNG
Grapes have a resemblance to the alveoli of the lungs. Alveoli allow the oxygen to
move between the lungs and bloodstream. A diet rich in fresh grapes reduces the
risk of lung cancer! Grapes seeds contain a substance called proanthocyanin, which
has a very favorable effect on asthma caused by allergies.
4. GINGER - STOMACH

3. Ginger doesn't only look like the stomach, but also helps for better digestion of
food. It is used as a natural remedy of stomach problems. It is also used to enhance
the immune system and to reduce cholesterol. It is a very good spice which gives
an exotic taste to the dishes.
5. CELERY - BONES
Stalk of celery reminds the bones. It is extremely useful precisely for them to eat
this vegetable. Celery contains silicon, which is part of the structure of the bones.
Here is an amazing fact: the bones contain 23% sodium, the same amount of it is
found in celery.
6. GRAPEFRUIT - BREASTS

4. Grapefruit, orange and other citrus remind the mammary glands (located in the
breasts ) of women. These fruits assist the movement of lymph. According to Dr.
Moulavi, "grapefruit contains compounds called lemonoids that prevent cancer
development."
7. CARROT - EYE
The cut carrot really resembles the eye. If you look well you can see "iris" and
"apple." Beta carotene, which gives orange color of carrots, helps to maintain good
eyesight, protects against macular degeneration and cataract formation.
8. MUSHROOM- EAR
When sliced the mushroom really looks like the ear. It is especially useful for our
ears! Mushrooms are a good source of vitamin D which is vital for the prevention
of hearing loss. So, it is recommended to eat mushrooms!

5. 9. AVOCADOS – WOMB AND CERVIX OF THE FEMALE
The shape of avocado resembles the shape of the womb. At the same time, avocados
balance hormones and protect against cancer of the cervix. There is another
interesting fact which connects them. To develop the human embryo it takes nine
months, nine months are needed to avocados to turn to ripe fruit! Unique, right?
10. BEAN – KIDNEY
Bean resembles the human kidney and perhaps that is why it helps to maintain the
kidney function. By consuming legumes, we provide our organism to variety of
minerals and vitamins. An interesting fact about bean is that it contains a large
amount of fiber, protein and iron, which makes it extremely valuable food. Other
foods which have beneficial effects on the kidneys, are cabbage, cauliflower, garlic
and onions.

6. 11. OLIVES - OVARIES
Olives assist the health and the function of the ovaries. An Italian study found that
women whose diets include lots of olive oil, there are 30% lower risk of ovarian
cancer. The reasons for this are unclear, but the beneficial fats in the butter may help
to suppress genes predisposing to the development of cancer.
12. RED WINE - BLOOD
Red wine is healthy for the heart. This is an alcoholic beverage rich in antioxidants
that protects the lining of blood vessels. Red wine is rich in polyphenols , one of
them is called resveratrol, which prevents blood vessels from further damage.
Studies show that resveratrol reduces bad cholesterol, prevent blood clotting and has
anti-inflammatory properties which can further reduce the risk of cardiovascular
disease.

7. 13.FIG - TESTICLE
The fig is known in folk medicine with the capacity to increase sperm count in the
male reproductive system and to overcome male infertility. Figs are rich in seeds
and split when ripe. An interesting fact is that the ancient physician Avicenna has
called the fig tree "fruit of longevity".
