Eat Your Veggies

I get email forwards rather frequently - and most of them are silly, or kitschy, or sentimental. But this one is actually pretty interesting, er fascinating. In college, I was lucky enough to find myself in a nutrition class - I happened to like the professor, had taken a class of hers the previous semester - and she talked me into the course. Turned out - it was one of the greatest and most educational courses of my collegiate career. I don't know that I've retained as much knowledge - in such a whole form - from any other course. So thank you Vickie Smith! I hope all you readers enjoy this as much as I did.

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiatinglines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrotsgreatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and isred. All o f the res earch shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and areindeed pure heart and blood food.Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape lookslike a bl ood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are alsoprofound heart and blood vitalizing food.A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, uppercerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut arejust 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, theylook exactly like the human kidneys.Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foodsspecifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls itfrom the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletalneeds of the body.Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target t he health and function of the womband cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today'sresearch shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balanceshormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents c e rvical cancers. Andhow profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocadofrom blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemicalconstituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science hasonly studied and named about 141 of them).Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase themobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcomemale sterility.Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemicindex of diabetics.Olives assist the health and function of the ovariesOranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammaryglands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and themovement of lymph in and out of the breasts.Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions helpclear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears whichwash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and
dangerous free radicals from the body.

Interesting Statistic: Obama has spent 52% of his time in the Senate campaigning for a higher office. Now - I don't particularly care for John McCain - but I don't know that I can, in good conscience, vote for someone who has spent more than half of his time at his current job interviewing for a new position. Hopefully when the whirlwind of excitment surrounding his campaign dies down, America won't be caught licking its wounds and cleaning up debris.
