Take a carrot, cut a slice, and look closely. Does it resemble your eyes? See what I meant; it provides the nutrient that is good for the eyes. Have you ever wondered why the tomatoes cut through the middle appear like your heart? Do you know that the polyunsaturated fats of walnut boost your brain? Don’t you know kidney beans are the best thing for your kidney?
The seed for the brain
Start with Mr Walnut. Here is what it looks like:
So naturally, it should be related to the brain. Isn’t it? Well, let me search: yes, it has polyunsaturated fats that are good for the brain! Well, that can also be good for the heart. But that is not the point. And it does not resemble my heart. What about sunflower seeds, flax seeds or flax oil, and fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, albacore tuna, trout, corn oil, soybean oil, and safflower oil. They all can give you similar nutrients. But they don’t look like a brain. So, let walnut be the brand ambassador of my brain. Why not? By the way, Cahoon et al. searched the literature but could not find any strong association between walnut and cognitive power. Maybe, they did not search deep enough!
Carrot for your eyes
Cut a carrot and see if it appears like your eyes.
No? If not, cut it until you see some part that resembles your eyes. Come on; you can do it. But what about these: tomatoes, red bell pepper, cantaloupe, mango, beef liver, and fish oils. They, too, contain vitamin A. So what?
Vitamin A is not going to give you night vision. But it should be part of your diet as it helps manage your health, including eye health. Also, carrot doesn’t come packed with vitamin A. But it contains its precursor beta carotene.
Kidney beans
What is the difference between kidney beans and other lentils? Or between blueberries, seabass, egg white, garlic, olive oil, bell peppers, and onions? Well, the key difference is that except for kidney beans, none of the others resembles my kidneys. So, even if they are better food for kidneys than these beans, I am not interested in them.
What about eating jelly beans? Something to research on.
Where do these come from?
Human beings are masters of finding patterns around them and making up stories to support their imagination. The doctrine of signature, too, belongs to that category. It is also a favourite for the creationist folks. Why else is that food created with the shape of your organ? There must be a purpose.
