Ever wondered how you can increase your blood flow or boost your intake of Vitamin D? I’ve always been fascinated with early history healers and shaman. How did they know what use for certain illnesses and diseases? The answer may be right in front of us, as these common foods look exactly like the body part they benefit.
Carrots
Slice a carrot horizontally and you’ll see the resemblance to the human eye. According to experts, eating carrots greatly enhance blood flow to the eyes. Carrots get their orange color from a plant chemical called beta-carotene, which also help reduce the risk of developing cataracts.
Grapes
Grapes have an uncanny similarity to the alveoli of the lungs. Alveoli are small sacs within our lungs that help the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the bloodstream. Adding red/purple grapes in your diet has been proven to reduce the risk of emphysema.
Mushrooms
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium which creates strong healthy bones. Mushrooms produce an excellent amount of vitamin D, which supports three small bones in the body. These bones play an important role in transmitting sounds to the inner ear. Looks familiar right?
Walnuts
This one is a no-brainer. Get it? Walnuts help develop over three dozen neuron-transmitters within the brain. Studies have suggested walnuts help prevent dementia and enhance signaling new message links between the brain and cells.
Wine (Bonus)
This one may not be food but I couldn’t leave out red wine. Rich in antioxidants, red wine looks just like blood. Red wine is known to help reduce blood clots that are linked to heart disease and help protect against harmful things in the blood such as, LDL cholesterol.
Beauty wellness isn’t always about the latest serum we apply to our face or the newest innovative face mask that’s on the market. Taking care of your body within and incorporating beneficial foods to your diet can have even greater effects than a topical solution. What’s your favorite food from the list above?
