Foods That Look Like Body Parts They're Good For

Every child has heard the healthy-eating saying "You are what you eat." But there may be a closer resemblance between good-for-you grub and your body than you thought

1. Carrot: Eye

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.

3. Celery: Bone

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.
