I got the below info in an email from someone recently – I thought it had some interesting stuff.  It compares certain fruits and vegetables to various parts of the body and makes the argument that there is a reason these foods are shaped that way – i.e. that they are good for the particular body part that they resemble.  (Hope that makes sense, but read on!)

Fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients for your body, and are a necessity in a natural weight loss plan, but if you are ever looking for more reasons to eat fruits and vegetables, here they are!

I don’t know the origin of the email, so I can’t give credit to anyone, but whoever you are, thank you for sharing.  Please forgive the God references if that bothers you.

EAT  LOTS OF SWEET  POTATOES

It’s been said that God first separated the salt water from the  fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish… All before making a human. He made and provided what we’d need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw.

We’re such slow learners…

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!

• A  sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The  pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human  eye… And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

• A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research  shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

• Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also a profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

• A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.  Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (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, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength.  Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak.  These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

• Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the  health and function of the womb and cervix of the female -  they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?  It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit.  There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of  nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only  studied and named about 141 of them).

• Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they  grow.  Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and  increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male  sterility.

• Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of  diabetics.

• Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

• Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

• Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s  research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of  the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the  epithelial layers of the eyes.  A working companion, Garlic,  also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

To your health,
