You Are What You Eat...

....so eat well!

Here are some "Whole Food Signatures" that I have a document of at my home. I'd like to post my favorite "handouts", if you will, notes I've taken and things I have lying around. I want to keep them safe but in my effort of de-cluttering I want to put my information somewhere not in my house to take up more room, but I want it to look at again. Note: in many cases I am paraphrasing the document details. This information is not my own..  and in this case and many cases down the road, I don't have any sources for. If i do, I'll mention the original source!

The idea of Whole Foods Signatures are that whole foods resemble the body organ or physiological function and it is a  benefit to that part of the body to the eater. In my effort of whole foods living (we will talk about that more as I become more successful), this was fascinating to me while I focus on improving my eating habits. These are based off the most recent scientific research on these fruits and veggies.. or that is what my paper says! Also, these foods probably benefit so much more to our body.. this is just a few of the studies benefits!

CARROT: A slice of carrot looks like the human eye.  The pupil, iris, and radiating lines look just like the human eye and carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and the function of the eye.

TOMATO:  A tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. Tomatoes are heart and blood food!

GRAPES: Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of a heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell. Grapes are also heart and blood vitalizing foods.

WALNUT: Of coarse a walnut looks just like a little brain. It has a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums, and lower cerebellums. Its wrinkles and fold resemble the neo-cortex. Walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

KIDNEY BEANS: Yes, they look exactly like a human kidney.. they also heal and help maintain kidney function.

CELERY, BOK CHOY, AND RHUBARB (and more):  These look just like bones and 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, making them weak. These foods replenish our skeletal needs.

EGGPLANT, AVOCADOS, AND PEARS: These foods target health and function to the female womb and cervix. They also look just like them. Did you know, when a woman eats 1 avocado a week it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight (I'm waiting for this one to kick in!) and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?.. It takes 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. P.S.There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each on of these foods, science has only studies and names 141 of them.

FIGS: Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos whent hey grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sprem as well to overcome male sterility.

OLIVES: Olives assist the health and functions of the ovaries.

GRAPEFRUITS, ORANGES, AND OTHERS: Citrus fruits look just like the female mammary glands.  They assist health of the breast and the movement of lymph in and out of the breast.

ONIONS: Onions look like body cells. Onions help clear waste materials from all the body cells. they produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
