Food is good for the part of the body it looks like

Everyone is familiar with the saying “You are what you eat”. Well, maybe there's more to it than we think. We found 9 products that are shaped like the parts of our body that they are especially beneficial for. For example, the kernel of a walnut is very similar to the brain. Coincidence? Maybe. But far from the only one.

Cut a carrot into slices a little obliquely - and you will see how much this vegetable resembles an eye, down to the smallest lines imitating the iris. And it's true that by gorging on carrots, you're doing a good deed for your eyes. It is full of vitamins and antioxidants (beta-carotene, for example), which reduce the risk of vision loss in old age.

The folds and wrinkles of the walnut make it incredibly similar in shape to the brain with its left and right hemispheres. And it's no surprise that nuts are considered "grey matter food" - they contain a high concentration of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which support the normal functioning of the brain.

Long thin stalks of celery are like bones - and are very useful for them. Celery is a source of silicon that regulates bone mineralization.

Avocado is shaped like a uterus and is very beneficial for reproductive health. Avocados contain a lot of folic acid, which reduces the risk of cervical dysplasia.

Studies have shown that shellfish are indeed very good for men's health. They contain folic acid and zinc, which can significantly improve sperm quality.

The resemblance to female breasts of round citrus fruits like lemons and grapefruits may be more than just a coincidence. Grapefruit contains so-called limonoids - substances that prevent the formation of cancer cells in the breast.

Cut a tomato in half and you will see numerous chambers that resemble the structure of a heart. Studies have shown that due to the content of lycopene, tomatoes reduce the risk of heart disease. Moreover, if you add a little fat to this vegetable - olive oil or avocado, then the absorption of lycopene will increase by almost ten times.

Blood-like red wine is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, including resveratrol. By drinking some red wine, you get protection against LDL cholesterol, which can cause heart disease. In addition, wine has a blood-thinning effect, which means it prevents the formation of blood clots.

Ginger is similar to the stomach and is known to help with nausea. It contains gingerol, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
