Foods That Look Like Body Parts & What are They’re Good For
I recently read this article recently about how carrots ARE really good for your eyes and it is not just a myth but that
it is weird that they look like your eye. Which makes me wonder if
there were other fruits and vegetables out there that are good for a
certain part of your body AND look like that body part as well. I was actually VERY surpised as to how many I found. Come and take a Journey into the truth.
1. Carrot : Eye
Slice a carrot in half crosswise and
it’s easy to see that the veggie resembles an eye—look closely and
you’ll even notice a pattern of radiating lines that mimic the pupil and
iris. And the old wives’ tale is true: Munching on carrots will
actually promote healthy eyes. Carrots are filled with vitamins and
antioxidants, like beta-carotene, that decrease the chance of macular
degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss in older people.
2. Walnut : Brain
The folds and wrinkles of a walnut
bring to mind another human organ: the brain. The shape of the nut even
approximates the body part, looking like it has left and right
hemispheres. And it’s no surprise walnuts are nicknamed “brain
food”—they have a very high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which help
support brain function.”
Long, lean stalks of celery look just
like bones—and they’re good for them, too. Celery is a great source of
silicon, which is part of the molecular structure that gives bones their
strength. Another funny bone coincidence: Bones are 23 percent sodium,
and so is celery.
4. Avocados : Uterus
The lightbulb shape of an avocado looks
like a uterus, and it supports reproductive health as well. Avocados
are a good source of folic acid. Folate has been found to reduce the
risk for cervical dysplasia, which is a precancerous condition.
5. Clams : Testicles
Studies have offered evidence that
clams, which bear a resemblance to testicles, are actually good for the
male sex organs. Research from the Netherlands has suggested that
supplementing your diet with folic acid and zinc—both of which clams are
high in––can have a significant effect on improving semen quality in
men.
6. Grapefruit : Breast
The similarity between round citrus
fruits––like lemons and grapefruit––and breasts may be more than
coincidental. Grapefruit contains substances called limonoids, which
have been shown to inhibit the development of cancer in lab animals and
in human breast cells.
7. Tomato : Heart
Slice open a tomato and you’ll notice
the red veggie has multiple chambers that resemble the structure of a
heart. Studies have found that because of the lycopene in tomatoes,
there is a reduced risk for heart disease in men and women who eat them.
And, if you mix them with a little fat, like olive oil or avocado, it
will boost your body’s lycopene absorption nearly tenfold.
8. Red Wine : Blood
Red wine, which is rich in antioxidants
and polyphenols, including powerful resveratrol, looks like blood. When
you drink it, you’re really loading up on the healthy stuff that
protects against destructive things in the blood, like LDL cholesterol,
which can cause heart disease. There’s also a blood-thinning compound in
red wine, so it reduces blood clots, which are associated with stroke
and heart disease.
9. Ginger: Stomach
Anyone who’s ever reached for a glass
of ginger ale when they’ve had a stomachache knows about the antinausea
effects of ginger. So it’s fitting that the herb somewhat resembles the
digestive organ. Gingerol, which is the ingredient responsible for
ginger’s pungent scent and taste, is listed in the USDA database of
phytochemicals as having the ability to prevent nausea and vomiting.
10. Sweet Potatoes : Pancreas
The oblong sweet potato bears a strong
resemblance to the pancreas, and also promotes healthy function in the
organ. Sweet potatoes are high in beta-carotene, which is a potent
antioxidant that protects all tissues of the body, including the
pancreas, from damage associated with cancer or aging.
The pineal gland is unique in that it sits alone in the brain whose
other parts are paired. It is the first gland to be formed in the foetus
and is distinguishable at 3 weeks. When our individual life force
enters our foetal body at 7 weeks, the moment in which we become truly
human, it passes through the pineal and
triggers the first primordial flood of DMT ( N-dimethyltryptamine).
Later, at birth, the pineal releases more DMT. DMT is also capable of
mediating pivotal experiences of deep meditation, shamanic states of
consciousness, psychoses, spiritual emergence and near death
experiences. The pineal gland's location deep in the brain seems to
intimate hidden importance. In the days before its function as a
physical eye that could see beyond space-time was discovered, it was
considered a mystery linked to superstition and mysticism. This pineal
gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various bio-rhythms of
the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland which directs
the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock that
determines our aging process. When it awakens, one feels a pressure at
the base of the brain. While the physiological function of the pineal
gland has been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and
esoteric schools have long known this area in the middle of the brain to
be the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy
available to humans, the pineal gland has always been important in
initiating supernatural powers. Development of psychic talents has been
closely associated with this organ of higher vision. To activate the
'third eye' is to raise one's frequency and moving into higher
consciousness - all is a consciousness experience perceived through the
Eye of Time or Third Eye. Meditation, Visualization Yoga, and all forms
of Out of Body travel, open the Third Eye and allow you to 'see' beyond
the physical. As you practice, you will get it faster and more
frequently. Your psychic abilities will increase as well as your dream
time messages. You may first begin with your eyes closed, but as you
practice, you will be able to open your third eye by focusing your
attention and receiving messages with your physical eyes open. Planetary
vibration/frequency is accelerating exponentially, allowing souls to
peer into other realms far more easily than in the past. Frequency will
continue to rise until consciousness evolves out of the physical.

| [English Translation] Simple, all you need is 10 minutes of your time daily to keep your knees healthy. After you have reached a certain age, it is common that you start to feel pain, less flexible or some kind of cracking noise on your knees. In fact, problem is about to surface when you begin to realize the "existence" of certain parts of your body. It is no coincidence, unfortunately. You can think back the time when you were young. Did you ever have backache or pain in the neck? Did you feel pain in your shoulders or elbows? Did you ever experience weakness on your limbs? Your answers are probably "no". Why do you have these feelings? Simply put, it is the blood flow (and chi flow along the meridians) in your body is either no longer fluent or encounters some kind of blockage. The effect is similar to the blockage of underground sewage due to lack of maintenance. Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy system for smooth blood flow and chi flow. To maintain your knees healthy, all you need is 10 minutes of time a day. 1. slap or massage the outer edge of the knees; (2 min.) 2. slap or massage the inner edge of the knees; (2 min.) 3. slap or massage the back (concave part) of the knees; (2 min.) 4. slap or massage the knee caps (2 min.) 5. Kneel down to "walk" on your knees (2 min.) See diagram on the right. Red circles are the relavant acupuncture points. Attention: Must do these everyday; must do these before any exercise. If you cannot "walk" on your knees, you can slap or massage the back of your knees instead. Elders should not run, do speed walking instead. Running can hurt your knees further. If you ever go hiking, down hill steps must put weight evenly on bottom of feet. Never put weight on toes only. Putting weight only on toes can lead to knee injury. |
FIRST, IT WAS EGGS.
TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHO HAVE BEEN HOLDING BACK
NOW, IT'S CHEE YAU JAR.
WHAT'S NEXT? TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHO HAVE BEEN HOLDING BACK
More reasons to eat Chee Yau Char (pig's lard) now because it contains natural fats and not trans fats as in processed food made by Man.
*This is a very useful 'must read' article. It makes sense to me. Even if you have received this before it is worth reading it again.*
*Low Cholesterol Levels Increases Cancer Risk*- American College of Cardiology
For years, I've been telling my patients that the medical establishment's obsession with lowering cholesterol per se to prevent heart disease is causing more harm than good.
If your doctor continues to get you worried about your high cholesterol levels, here's *a bit of news* for you...
In fact, your high cholesterol may be protecting you from cancer.
Today, I'll explain the truth behind the myth of cholesterol, and show you how to achieve heart health naturally.
A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology revealed that driving down cholesterol levels actually increases the risk of cancer.
Researchers at the Tufts University School of Medicine found that among people taking "*statin drugs - like Lipitor and Zocor* - there was a higher* *rate of cancer*. Although the link between the drugs and cancer wasn't clear, there was no doubt that *drastically low cholesterol levels *correlated to cancer risk.
The big drug makers continue to sell the notion that the best way to fight heart disease is to lower LDL levels, the so-called "bad" cholesterol.
Yet 75 percent of people who suffer heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels.*
It makes sense that low cholesterol levels are linked to cancer because cholesterol is one of your body's basic building blocks. You need it to produce testosterone, to build and repair cell membranes, and to preserve your nerve cells through the formation of the protective "sheaths" that cover them.
Starving your body of this critical substance will lead to other health problems. We already know that extremely low cholesterol levels result in muscle weakness, fatigue, depression, decreased sex drive, and "brain fog." This new research shows that there may be even more deadly consequences*.
What really matters is not low "*bad" cholesterol, but high levels of HDL*, the so-called "good" cholesterol*. As long as you have a high HDL count - 75 to 80, for example - it doesn't matter whether your total cholesterol is 150 or 350. A high HDL will always keep your risk of heart disease extremely low.*
So why haven't you heard this already? It may be because there's *no drug that effectively raises good cholesterol levels*. You can only effectively do it naturally.
Consume natural fats. Avoid processed or fast foods containing* "trans" fats * - these man-made substances *were never meant for consumption*, and your body doesn't know what to do with them. They wind up clogging your arteries and putting you on the fast track to heart disease. *
Instead, get your fat from free-range or grass-fed animals, eggs, nuts, and unprocessed vegetable oils*. These are some of the healthiest foods you can eat. (As with all foods, look for organic or minimally processed options whenever possible.)
The health benefit of these natural fats comes from their balance of *Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids*. Your body needs both but, as with cholesterol, they have to be in balance. *Omega-3s are great for your heart. They've been shown to prevent irregular heartbeat, reduce clogging of the arteries, lower blood pressure, and decrease inflammation in body tissues*.
If you stick to eating *natural fats*, you'll automatically get the right ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3, which is about 2:1. As an added bonus, you'll automatically raise your "good" cholesterol levels and you'll reduce your risk of cancer.
Man’s discovery of God ceases to be a discovery if he begins this search with a foregone conclusion in his mind. Most religions impose a certain image of the type of God they would want their followers to worship. Whereas to mind, in the search for truth, which to me is the
search for God, the choice does not rest with us as to what to reject or accept.
Truth, God, call it what you will, is an awareness of the totality of existence, of our hopes and desires, our ambitions, our greed, our loves and thousands of other emotions which constitute what passes
for the living individual. I believe organized religions stand in the way of this awareness of the totality of existence.
Mind has its own place, a unique place in our lives. Without the use of your mind you won’t be able to find your way back home, and I won’t be able to conduct this conversation without its help. But mind can only move in the sphere of the known, in the sphere of time. Whereas we refer to God as the unknown the timeless, is it not ? Till a certain stage, in the three dimensions world, our mind can serve us to our advantage. But to reach the fourth dimension of existence, the mind instead of moving along the horizontal plane, must learn to shoot up vertically as it were and explode for the timeless, for the unknown to be.
Man being free, is wholly responsible to himself, unguided by any plan, by any spiritual authority, by any divine dispensation whatsoever. As he is free, he is, by that very freedom,
limited. If you were not free, you would have a different world from that which exists at present. As the will in everyone is free, it is limited, and because the self is small, without determination
or purpose at the beginning, it chooses, it discriminates, has its likes and has its dislikes. In the removal of that limitation, which is self-imposed on the self, lies the glory of the fulfilment of the
self, the freedom of the self.
This attainment is not brought about by ecstasy, nor does it lie in the abandoning of oneself to works or to prayer, or in the blind following of another, or in immolation of oneself to a cause. Because the “I”, the self, is in process of achieving, it is creating barriers between itself and its fulfilment, by its eagerness, its struggles, through fear, through innumerable complications. To remove these barriers of limitation, you need constant awareness,
constant watchfulness, constant self-reflection, which must be imposed on yourself, never by another. But if you discipline yourself unconsciously, without knowing where you are going, that self-discipline itself becomes a barrier. Understand the purpose of life, and from that very understanding will arise self-discipline. Self-discipline must be born out of the love of Life-vast,
immeasurable, whole, unconditioned, limitless, to which all humanity belongs. Because you love that freedom which is absolute, which is Truth itself, which is harmony; by the very force of that love, your self-discipline will make you incorruptible; so you must nourish that love. The incorruptibility of the self is the perfection of life.
Till man is made incorruptible by himself, he will know no happiness, he will be held in the bondage of friendship and the fear of loneliness. The weariness of strife will still hold him. Men must be created who are great in the serenity of harmony. Such men must be born in you. Such men must give rise to new transformations, must become a flame to burn away the dross danger to all unessential, childish things.
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
