Every child has heard the healthy-eating mantra "You are what you eat." But there may be a closer resemblance between good-for-you grub and your body than you thought. We found 10 foods that mirror the body parts they provide nutrients for�for example, brain-boosting walnuts actually look like a brain. Coincidence? Maybe.
