Bean sprouts - Sperm

If you notice, the stir-fry bean sprouts are resemblance to the images of ‘swimming’ sperm trying to fertilize an egg. Research from the US suggests that the bean sprouts could play an important part in boosting male fertility!

A study at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio showed that to make a healthy sperm in large quantities, the body needs a good supply of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that protect cells against damage by harmful molecules called free radicals. Just a half cup of bean sprouts will provide 16% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C for a man.

Broccoli - Cancer cells

Did you notice if we closed up the broccoli, the tiny green tips on a broccoli head look like hundreds of cancer cells? Now, scientists know that this disease busting vegetable can play an important role in preventing the disease.

Last year, a team of researchers at the US National Cancer Institute found that, if we eat broccoli weekly, it was enough to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 45%. In Britain, prostate cancer kills one man every hour!

New research suggests that a mechanism involving antioxidants found in the Brassicaceae family of vegetables which is like cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage, can prevents the build-up of free radicals. Too much production of free radicals can harm cells and even trigger cancers.

Cheese - Bones

We all know that cheese is good for our bones. If you notice, the cheese itself is resembles to the bones internal structure. Cheeses are a rich source of calcium, an important ingredient for strong bones. Getting enough calcium in the diet during childhood is important for strong bones and it will reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Together with another mineral called phosphate, it provides the main strength in bones.

A study at Columbia University in New York showed teens that increased calcium intake from 800mg a day to 1200mg which is equal to an extra two slices of cheese, will boosted their bone density by six per cent.

Walnut - Brain

Did you notice that the twisted folds of a walnut are similar like a human brain? And of course their benefit is something that is related to the brain. Walnuts are the only nuts which contain important amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. An American study found that walnut extract broke down the protein-based plaque that is related to Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer is a disease that is related to the brain or called brain disorder. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal.

Dr James Joseph, researchers at Tufts University in Boston said, walnuts also appear to enhance signaling within the brain and encourage new messaging links between brain cells. So, make a walnut as your favourite food and make used of its benefits to our brain.

Potatoes - Pancrease

The pancreas plays a crucial role in digestion. When food empties from your stomach into the small intestine, it mixes with digestive enzymes from the pancreas that neutralize stomach acid, preventing damage to the intestine. These enzymes also break down your food so that it can be absorbed by your body. The pancreas produces insulin, which reduces blood sugar levels and allows your body to store food energy for future use. Eating the right foods can heal and nourish your pancreas. It may also help you avoid pancreatitis, a painful inflammation of the pancreas.

Sweet Potatoes looks like the pancreas and actually it balance the glycemic index of diabetics. The red variety has drier and harder flesh while the white or the yellow type has more juicy flesh. The red variety has a characteristic aroma which becomes more prominent on boiling. The more reddish or orange the color of the flesh of the sweet potatoes, the stronger is this aroma. It is also contain high in fiber and do not give up their sugars quickly. Slow release of sugar means gradual insulin usage and no sugar highs or lows.

Grapes - Lungs

Our lungs are made up of branches of ever-smaller airways that finish up with tiny bunches of tissue called alveoli which allow oxygen to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. Additional info, one reason that very premature babies struggle to survive is that these alveoli do not begin to form until week 23 or 24 of pregnancy. Back to our topic, did you notice these structures resemble to bunch of grapes? A diet high in fresh fruit, such as grapes, has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer. Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which appears to reduce the severity of asthma triggered by allergy. Grapes also increase the moisture content in the lungs and can also reduce asthma problems.
