God's Nutrition Plan
I received an email with
this beautiful collection and thought that I simply must share it with
you. I've improvised on the content and present them here for you.
God has provided these
nutrition for us when He made the world. He definitely never had
McDonald's (or Dunkin' Donuts) in mind when he designed the Garden of
Eden. Below are clues in the natural food He made for us, and He
sure has a sense of humour.

 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 beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin are some of the finest nourishment that
help keep the optic system in tip-top condition. It has
special protection against astigmatism, macular degeneration and
cataracts of the eyes.

  Like our heart, the tomatoes have
two ventricles (right) and/or four chambers (left). Research
has shown that lycopene and the high anti-oxidant level in
tomatoes can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular
diseases and many types of cancer.

 The broccoli has many branches with full
of tiny
flower heads at the end of them. This very much
resemble our lungs that have millions of tiny air sacs called
alveoli. Broccoli has a unique phytonutrient,
isothiocyanates that effectively combat carcinogens especially
in smokers to neutralize the poisonous effect to the lungs.
The rich vitamin C content also helps smokers counter lung
diseases.

 A walnut looks like our brain, complete
with the left and right hemisphere. Even the wrinkles and
folds look like the neo-cortex. Walnuts have always been
known as a "brain food" because of their high content of omega-3
fatty acids. Omega-3 is known to have membrane-enhancing
capabilities that our brain needs to function and develop
properly.
|
|
 Kidney beans are named such because they look like our
kidneys. The high fiber content in kidney beans help
prevent sugar level from rising rapidly after a meal. This
makes it a good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin
resistant or hypoglycemia.
|
|
 Celery, rhubarb and bok choy all look like our
bones. These foods especially target bone strength.
Like our bones, celery also contains 23% organic sodium which is
essential for our body. If you take the wrong kind of
sodium (table salt) or even if you have lack of sodium, the body
will leach calcium from your bones, thus making them weak.

 Avocados
target the health and function of women's womb and cervix.
The shape looks like the uterus, with one seed (baby) in the
center. Research has shown that eating one avocado a week
can balance up hormones, shed unwanted birth weight and prevents
cervical cancer. The high folate content is
also important and necessary for healthy fetal cell and tissue
development. Vitamin B6 in
avocados help relieve nausea and queasiness associated with
pregnancy.

 Some observers have said that the figs
look like the male genitals when two of them are hung together
(apologies, don't mean to be crude!). Figs are full of
seeds and the nutrients in them are said to increase the number
of sperms to overcome male sterility. In many cultures
throughout the world, figs are associated with fertility.
|
|
 Some sweet potatoes are shaped like the pancreas.
Pancreas is the organ that produces insulin and glucagon to
control sugar levels in your blood. Even though sweet
potatoes are sweet, their consumption by type
2 diabetics can actually help bring
down the blood sugar level.
|
|
 The external shape of citrus fruits (oranges,
grapefruits,
lemons) and the flesh looks like the female mammary
glands. Limonoids found in the peels in citrus fruits are
known to be beneficial for the health of the breasts and to
prevent breast cancer.
Isn't God amazing?
