Spring Eating!

As spring approaches everything changes, so does my appetite. Cooking is one of my absolute favorite things to do (besides be with my hubby & dancing). I love trying new things especially when they aren’t what you would expect. Going along with that factor, I LOVE cooking with fresh meats, veggies, fruits, herbs and fresh ground spices. I check food network about 3 times a week along with some other site in search of new recipes. In doing so I came across this list which I found very interesting. It’s not quite complete with the goodness of everything but I thought I would pass it on to hopefully help with healthy eating. Sometimes I think if I know why it’s good for me then it helps my psychosis and I eat more of it.

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

Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All o f the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
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 grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many 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, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocados, 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 one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (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).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.


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

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

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.

Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
Happy and Healthy Eating!

this is interesting maghen, I'm always getting about my health food book and reading to chris the nutrional value of certain fruits and veggies (like he cares) hey i wanted to ask you something: did you make the salad on Break the Fast Sunday? It was sooooooooo yummy, what kind of cheese and dressing did you use????

I’m glad you liked it. It’s actually my sister’s salad recipe. Josh and I are huge salad fans and have one with dinner just about every night. So it’s better then eating ranch every night. Ha-ha. It’s the shaved parmesan cheese (you can get it anywhere) and French vinaigrette. I’m not sure what brand it is. I usually go with what’s one sale. I add a little EVOO to it so it’s not so strong.

Maghen, that was fascinating, seriously. I've never thought twice about some of those foods but now I think I might try to vary it up a little more. Thanks!
