Optical Illusions Part II

Alright so I started thinking out of the box about regular images of optical illusions and wondered "Hmm can this also be extended to food?"  Let's give it a go!



#1:

So what do you see?...

I see a heart.  Eating strawberries can have amazing health benefits for your heart.  They are high in vitamin C, potassium and fiber.  In fact red fruits in particular contain high levels of anti-oxidants, which may help reduce inflammation that is associated with hardened arteries which is linked to many cardiovascular diseases.

#2)  Is a walnut just a walnut?....


I think not!  All the wiggly lines, dips and curves of the walnut reminds me of the human brain.  They contain high levels of omega-3, which is very important for brain function.

  

#3)  I'm sure we've all been told at one point or another to eat carrots because they are excellent for our eyes.

Well, a sliced carrot looks freakishly similar to the iris and pupil of your eyes.  Coincidence?  Perhaps, but carrots contain high levels of beta-carotene.  Carotene is a precursor in the production of keratin, a protein found in your eyes.  

 

#4)  This one may be tricky..what do you see??

I see some serious long and healthy bones. Believe it or not celery is great for the general health of your bones. Not only does celery resemble bones, but they are made up of 23% of sodium and your bones are made up of 23% of sodium too.

 

Pretty awesome isn't it? Food resembling the body parts that they most benefit could just be slightly coincidental, but come on nature is pretty amazing!

After noticing the comparisons between these food images and realizing the similarity they have to our body parts I began to notice just how similar the design of a piece of fruit or a vegetable is to our own physiques.
