Carrots and eyes
If you cut a carrot across, it's easy to see that this vegetable looks like an eye. It turns out that chewing carrots is also good for eye health. It has many vitamins and antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, which reduce the chance of macular degeneration, which is the cause of vision loss in older people.
Walnut and Brain
Folding and wrinkled walnuts will bring to the mind another human organ: the brain. Even the outline of a nut reminds this organ. A division of the walnut into two halves is also similar to dividing the brain into the left and right hemisphere. And the similarity is not surprising, walnuts are not in vain called "food for brains." They have a very high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which help maintain its function.
Celery and bones
Long stalks of celery look like bones and are also useful for them. Celery is a source of silicon, which is part of the molecular structure of bones. Another funny coincidence: bones, like celery, contain 23% of sodium.
Avocado and uterus
The bulbous shape of the avocado resembles the uterus. Avocados also support reproductive health. It is a good source of folic acid, which reduces the risk of cervical dysplasia, which is a precancerous condition.

Tomato and heart
If you cut a tomato, you can see that the red fruit has several chambers that resemble the structure of the heart. Studies have shown that lycopene, which is contained in tomatoes, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease in men and women. And, if you mix tomatoes with a small amount of fat, such as olive oil or avocado, you can increase the amount of lycopene absorbed by the body by almost ten times.
Ginger and stomach
The root of ginger somewhat resembles a digestive organ. And for a long time, it is known that ginger helps to combat seasickness and symptoms of administration due to acrid smell and taste. Scientists from Denmark have established that the crushed root of this plant suppresses nausea and vomiting, even in those cases, when they are very pronounced and require hospitalization. Ginger also works well for nausea to many pregnant women.
Sweet potatoes and pancreas
Oblong sweet potato is very similar to the pancreas, and also contributes to its healthy functioning. It contains a lot of beta-carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant that protects all body tissues, including the pancreas, from damage associated with cancer or aging.
