Walnuts: Walnuts look like the brain. They are high in omega-3 fatty acids and aid in the function of neurotransmitter receptors. These nuts are solid confirmation of supporting your brain health.

Grapes: Grapes look like the alveoli of the lungs and are full of antioxidants and resveratrol, which supports cells of the nasal passages and lungs.
Carrots: Carrots, when cut, looks like the human eye. Carrots contain beta-carotene, the key vitamin that protects eye health.
Kidney beans: Identical match to your real kidneys are rich in magnesium and potassium which help keep your kidneys free from plaque buildup.
