Thursday Thirteen - Food for Thought.

Posted on February 28th, 2008 by On a Limb w/ Claudia

A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought it was so very cool that I had to pass it along. I’m not sure where it comes from so we’ll say a little blessing to the author who put it together. (If anyone knows who wrote this, let me know!)

Thursday Thirteen # 18 - Food for thought.

1.
Carrot 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 that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

2.
Tomato A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.

3.
Grapes 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 that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

4.
Walnuts A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

5.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

6.
Celery Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and 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, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

7.
Avacado 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 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? …. It takes exactly 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).

8.
Fig Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

9.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

10.
Olive Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

11.
Orange 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.

12.
Onion Onions look like body cells. Today’s research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

13.
One last thought added by Claudia. Our bodies informed about our environment through our food. This is true for Honey Bees. Why wouldn’t it be true for us?

Ummmm. Walnuts. Good.

This is a great post but unfortunately I will have to do life change to my eating habits. I love oranges, avocados and olives but never eat figs. Why didn’t they teach this in Health education in school!

An amazing collection of facts about food, and it’s relationship to the body. I come here to find amazing things, and I’m never disappointed. Expectations exceeded, again.
Janet, on February 28th, 2008 at 4:40 am Said:

Lord knows I have enough sodium! And this might explain why I’ve been CRAVING onions lately! Caramelized only, tho.

Love the pic of the carrot and tomato!
Open Grove Claudia, on February 28th, 2008 at 4:46 am Said:

Melissa - I’m glad.

Tommie - You go girl! Olive away!

The CEO - You are very sweet!

Janet - Funny, I crave onions sometimes. Of course, I crave onion rings…

Ok, this was seriously coooooool!!!

That’s very interesting; a very clever idea. And I never knew what shape the pancreas is!
YummY!, on February 28th, 2008 at 5:23 am Said:

I’ve seen this somewhere recently, but I can’t remember where.
cajunvegan, on February 28th, 2008 at 6:02 am Said:

You inspire me to step away from the hot Cheetos. Healthful idea.

My mean little effer inner child is up to her old habits this week.

Happy TT!
pussreboots, on February 28th, 2008 at 6:13 am Said:

I love avocados. I could eat them every day; it’s the Californian in me. Happy TT.

Great list and what an easy way to remember what each does.
Happy TT!

Susan Helene Gottfried, on February 28th, 2008 at 12:50 pm Said:

Okay, I’m going to clean out my fridge now and restock it…

Tempest Knight, on February 28th, 2008 at 1:13 pm Said:

Love your T13! Always full of great info. *wg*
storyteller, on February 28th, 2008 at 1:23 pm Said:

Hugs and blessings,
Darla, on February 28th, 2008 at 1:33 pm Said:

Very clever. So those little heart-shaped chocolates must be good for my heart, right? hmmm.. chocolate is supposed to be good for your heart, isn’t it? Wow. It really does hold true.

i always learn something when i stop by here.

you’re kind of akin to a writing idol of mine at the moment. you write for a living. it’s something i’m aspiring to do as well. i’d love to pick your brain sometime.
Di, on February 28th, 2008 at 1:41 pm Said:

I must send this to my husband who is in the fresh produce biz!
Toni, on February 28th, 2008 at 1:41 pm Said:

colleen, on February 28th, 2008 at 2:25 pm Said:

I’ve seen this before and find it fascinating. We are all made of the same stuff and everything is a microcosim of everything else.

I still haven’t come up with a good message to put in a bottle. Thanks for offering your help. I’m still waiting for something worth sending out.
odat, on February 28th, 2008 at 2:28 pm Said:

Fascinating!!!
I wonder what bananas are good for???? hehe.

Happy TT

julia, on February 28th, 2008 at 4:57 pm Said:

That was very meditative. My favorite one is how trees and seaweed - the lungs of our planet - look like human lungs.
Chelle Y., on February 28th, 2008 at 4:57 pm Said:

This is so cool! Very informative and entertaining!
Vixen, on February 28th, 2008 at 5:06 pm Said:

Great Thursday Thirteen post! Come by my blog and laugh, just not too hard! LOL

Very cool, TT, Claudia! Thanks for sharing. Grapes always look like lung sacks to me, so I was surprised by that one.

This was great! I learned something today, thanks!

jameil, on February 28th, 2008 at 9:12 pm Said:

Los Angelista, on February 28th, 2008 at 9:40 pm Said:

Very cool! I’m the only one in my family to not have glasses (although I think I may need them this year) and maybe it’s because I’m always eating carrots and have for years.
Miss Britt, on February 28th, 2008 at 9:48 pm Said:

Should I be worried that I don’t eat nuts?
TorAa Mirror, on February 28th, 2008 at 10:00 pm Said:

Fantastic interesting. I could have commented each of the 13. But I only say this: I did bookmark this post.

Thanks for sharing. An excellent TT entry
Open Grove Claudia, on February 29th, 2008 at 12:01 am Said:

Xakara - I love that - “seven levels of nifty” - yay, now that’s an accomplishment.

Julia - That is very cool - Plus yummy!

Chelle Y - I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Vixen - Nature is amazing - I think.

Wonderful Kelly - I don’t have a hotdog in my pants, smart as they are, they are hotdog free. Should we ask someone who has a hotdog in his pants?

Deb - Well… you could eat eggplant or pears!

Nikki - yes indeed!

Kaige - Yes, you’re right. They do look like lungs…. mmmm

Melissa - Hurray for learning.

Brenda - I love sarcasm. I’ll be right over.

Chikku - I’m glad you liked it.

Sue - Olives are good for you too!

Jill - Finally, I am the queen of something!

Jameil - Sounds like dinner is at your house? A little guac and kidney bean pie? I saw that about the kidneys. So scary.

Los Angelista - Hurray for carrots. I was just reading something about improving eyesight through nutrition - amazing!

Miss Britt - Hmm… I guess THAT explains it!

TorAa Mirror - I thought they were fascinating too.
heart in san francisco, on February 29th, 2008 at 12:27 am Said:

This is great! The Native Americans understood that for every ailment there is a cure in the plant world, and that the cure often resembles the organ it nourishes and heals.

Science is finally beginning to accept the validity of this ancient body of knowledge.

Thank you for bringing valuable information to our attention once again.
Auria Cortes, on February 29th, 2008 at 12:29 am Said:

Seriously, this is a great entry.
Tasina, on February 29th, 2008 at 1:12 am Said:

What an interesting post…..for some reason I feel like eating a salad. (Although I may avoid the figs!)

Thanks for stopping by.
Christy, on February 29th, 2008 at 2:50 am Said:

This is so cool. I had no idea of all the symbolism. Isn’t it odd and yet fascinating at just connected things in the world really are?!
Grace, on February 29th, 2008 at 7:18 am Said:

What an informative TT Claudia and I think all these makes sense. People here in the Middle East eats a lot of figs, avocados and olives and they really have many children!! Very productive! I think the Japanese should learn from this to increase their looming birth rate
badkelly, on February 29th, 2008 at 1:24 pm Said:

who as a hotdog in their pants?
Gellianne, on February 29th, 2008 at 3:00 pm Said:

Hi! This is a very nice post and helpful too. And colorful also!
I love it!
Robin, on February 29th, 2008 at 4:31 pm Said:

But what do chocolate chip cookies look like?
orneryswife, on February 29th, 2008 at 5:08 pm Said:

Wow. That was really intersting. Thank you for posting it! And, thanks for visiting Miller Manor. Remarkably, one of the things my daughter and I talked about planting was an avocado tree. We both love them!

Open Grove Claudia, on February 29th, 2008 at 6:00 pm Said:

Heart in SF - If we had all the wisdom we forgot? Human beings would have so few problems.

Auria Cortes - Great!

Tasina - Ah the wisdom!

Christy - Interesting how things work, eh?

Grace - It’s interesting. I recently saw the World statistics and the middle east has always had what’s considered “small families” - especially Dubai. And decreasing as life expectancy increases. Let me know if you want the link.

Wonderful Kelly - I guess we’ll find out this weekend, eh??

Gellianne - cool.

Robin - Heaven?

OrnerysWife - Yeah, I am going to have to up my avocado eating. I like them but rarely eat them - good thinking right?
Kevin Charnas, on February 29th, 2008 at 8:54 pm Said:

GET OUT OF HERE!!!

That is so fricking trippy. And actually, logical. which trips me out even more!

I’m so sorry that I’ve been away so long. I have MAJOR catching up to do, my friend… you were never far from my thoughts, though.
Nathalie, on March 1st, 2008 at 8:25 am Said:

That was a great, GREAT!, TT; very informative, and indeed food for thought. Thank you for posting this, and also for dropping by my TT!
Malcolm, on March 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 am Said:

I never realized that many of these foods resembled human organs. As I went through your list, I started playing the “Guess What Organ This Food Looks Like” game.
Tink, on March 3rd, 2008 at 7:24 pm Said:

Interesting! I never looked at them that way!
