A lot of debates have been held lately on the importance of fish oil.

I am sure most of you are familiar with the mantra „you are what you eat”.

But when you take a closer look at the foods you eat, you will notice that there is a closer resemblance between healthy foods and your body than you thought.

As I was browsing through a series of nutrition studies conducted along the time, I found some foods that mirror the body parts to which they bring great benefits.

For instance, brain-boosting walnuts actually look like a brain. Is it only a coincidence? Maybe not.
