Last spring when the World Health Organization tried to panic the Earth's population by announcing a swine flu pandemic, our family took a proactive approach to maintaining healthy immune systems. We made sure that we were getting plenty of vitamins C and D and plenty of rest each night. We recently bought a juicer in order to get more natural fruit and vegetable juices into our bodies.
This morning we made apple juice, orange juice, pineapple juice and carrot juice. I was surprised that the kids liked the carrot juice the best. I can't say I recall ever having carrot juice. It's quite good. Yesterday we made tomato juice, which was turned into delicious Bloody Marys for breakfast. My favorite so far though is pineapple juice. Very very tasty.
I wasn't aware that pineapples contain the Fibonacci numbers. Remember that sequence where each number is the sum of the two previous numbers? The Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, etc. This sequence apparently appears much in nature. And on the pineapple. Pineapple scales are patterned into spirals and, because they are hexagonal in shape, two distinct sets of spirals can be seen: eight in one direction and thirteen in the other.
