7. Eat a piece of fruit each day

If I don't conciously think about it every once in a while, I just forget about fruits. I drink a lot of juice, but since that's not quite the same and I'm trying to stay healthy, one serving of fruit each day seemed like a good goal. Apples and bananas are absolute favorites, whereas kiwi's don't get into this household - they make me choke. Did you know fruit allergies existed? Well, they do. My father has them and I had them as a child. Eating any fresh fruits would just really make our throats and mouths itch and, in bad cases, result in breathing problems and asthma-like situations. But with the years, both of us seem to gradually grow over it. Kiwi's and plums are still a no-go for me, but the amount of apples I had over the years seems to have made me resistant somehow. They're not bugging me anymore. Bananas are usually pretty good, though I still prefer to have some water after I had one. Today I picked up a nice box of strawberries. Cleaned them, chopped them, sprinkled some sugar on them and ready to go. Yummy! I might actually be able to keep this habit up.
