Foods That Look Like the Body Parts They're Good For
OK, OK, I stole these pictures from Woman's Day. (Click on the link for the full original article).
But it's SUCH a cool idea, I had to pass it on. I mean seriously, these foods ACTUALLY look like the body part they're good for- I had never noticed! That Amanda Greene is a creative genius. Check it out:
1. CARROTS:EYES
They help decrease the risk of developing macular degeneration, which is currently the most common reason behind vision loss among the elderly.2. WALNUTS: BRAINS
Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are well-known to aid in brain function.
3. CELERY:BONE
Silicon in celery helps to strengthen bone density.
4. AVOCADOS:FALLOPIAN TUBES
Avocados contain folate, which helps to reduce the risk for pre-cancerous conditions associated with cervical cancer.
5. CLAMS:TESTICLES
Clams contain folic acid and zinc, which both aid in the production of semen.
6. GRAPEFRUIT:BREAST
Liminoids in grapefruits have been shown to reduce the chances of breast cancers.
7. TOMATO:HEART
Lycopene in tomatoes helps to decrease the risk of heart disease.
8. RED WINE:BLOOD
Red wine contains antioxidants that strengthen your blood's own little immune system. It also protects against blood clots and strokes.
9. GINGER:STOMACH
Ginger is a well-known soother of nausea and stomach upset.
10. SWEET POTATO:PANCREAS
Sweet potatoes help promote healthy pancreatic function.
Can you think of any other foods that resemble the body parts they're good for?

- About Me: I love food, but I'm a much bigger fan of eating it than I am of preparing it! I love traveling to new places and trying new things - which can either be wonderful or disastrous in the food arena. I am a New Yorker situated in Virginia for school, although I try hard not to stay in one place for too long!
