When eating is healing

As children, we were told that carrots were good for our eyes. As adults, our eyesight is now questionable so we've moved on to gut health, where we praise the probiotic benefits of yogurt.

Whereas in my twenties I was more concerned with what greasy breakfast would cure my hangover, I've moved on to loftier pursuits, like getting in my omega-3s. If that sounds like a foreign language, please note that I'm not above suffering the occasional hangover. Sadly, I'm drinking half of what I used to and yet feeling worse than I did. I blame middle age. And for the record, while a nice breakfast of French toast and sausage will help a hangover, nothing works like a bowl of pho and Vietnamese coffee. You'll thank me later.

I decided it would be great to put together a list of what to eat for organ health, grouped by organ. Some of you may want to eat more heart-healthy, while others are going for more luminous skin. Me? I want all of the things. And I've got you covered.
