God
has made all fruits and vegetables to somehow resemble the organs of the human
body as a solution for human health. All dry fruits and hard herbs are used for
diseases of the stomach. However, all red color fruits and vegetables somehow purify the blood etc.
therefore, God most mercifully, has in fact, arranged different kind of herbs,
vegetables and fruits for mankind so that they can use those herbs in their
daily lives in order to live in perfect health.
