Tomato
Day 20

A Different Fruit A Day Personal Health Challenge

Botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit. However, the government classified it as a vegetable in the late 1800s so it could be taxed under custom regulations.

Oma bought the delicious organic tomato in the photo above from the Jimbo’s Naturally store. Tomatoes are easy to add to your daily diet. Slice them for sandwiches, toss them in salads, cook them into sauces or squeeze them for juice. Packed with vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, and lycopene; tomatoes are both delicious and good for you.

Interesting Facts: Botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit. However, the government classified it as a vegetable in the late 1800s so it could be taxed under custom regulations. New Jersey calls the tomato its state vegetable. Arkansas uses tomatoes as both the state fruit and the state vegetable.

Crookneck Squash
Day 19

A Different Fruit A Day Personal Health Challenge

Even though most people identify squash with vegetables, from a botanical standpoint, they're considered fruits because they contain the seeds of the plant. Squash are divided into two categories -- summer and winter squash.

Summer squash are generally divided into four groups -- crookneck, zucchini (green and yellow), straightneck, and scallop (pattypan). They have thin, edible skins and soft seeds, and are high in vitamins A and C, and niacin.

Oma had never had a Crookneck Squash before and you really cannot just eat it like most other fruits. So the search for a recipe began. Oma loves any recipe with the “Easy” in it.

Ridiculously Easy Roasted Yellow Squash and Onions

Preheat oven to 425F.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with canola or olive oil
Trim the ends of the squash, cut off the slender necks, and slice the necks in half, lengthwise. Then slice each squash into lengthwise slices, about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Lay the slices on the cooking sheet in a single layer.
Trim the ends of the onion and peel it
Slice into thin wedges.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until bottoms of squash begin to brown. Sprinkle with pepper and salt, turn each slice over, and bake until bottoms of squash are browned, about 15 minutes more. Serve immediately, hot out of the oven.

Pretty easy and yummy too!

Kiwifruit
Day 18

A Different Fruit A Day Personal Health Challenge

The Kiwi is also known as the Gooseberry. Almost all kiwifruit sold belong to the Haywood variety and has a fuzzy, dull-brown skin, and bright-green flesh. Packed with more vitamin C than an equivalent amount of orange, the bright green flesh of the kiwifruit speckled with tiny black seeds adds a dramatic tropical flair to any fruit salad.

It is a small fruit approximately 3 inches long and weighing about four ounces. Its green flesh is almost creamy in consistency with an invigorating taste reminiscent of strawberries, melons and bananas, yet with its own unique sweet flavor. At approximately 42 calories, Oma finds the Kiwifruit a healthy yet tasty snack!

Interesting Fact:

Kiwifruit and Latex Allergy

Like avocados and bananas, kiwifruit contain substances called compounds that are associated with the latex-fruit allergy syndrome. There is strong evidence of the cross-reaction between latex and these foods.

PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands
Review #phantomfit

Phantom Fit was formed in 2014 when two fitness and marketing experts, Ryan Martin and Jon Wedel, came together to change the way people get fit. Phantom Fit currently manufactures resistance loop bands and wrist wraps

Look no further for all of your fitness needs. We’re all about quality at Phantom Fit. We want you to have the best workouts with the best products – not that knock-off crap that you’ll find all over the internet. Our products are 100% genuine and made with the finest materials. (From the PhantomFit Website)

The PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands keeps exercising interesting. They come in a set of four including a blue “light” band, a red “medium” band, a green “heavy’ band and a black “x-heavy” band, The Phantom Fit bands are ideal to use one band at a time, or combine multiple bands for a more strenuous workout.

Being able to fit in a good strength training without the hassle of driving to a gym is a definite plus! Oma keeps the high-quality latex bands near her computer work-station and tries to incorporate the band exercises into her mini breaks. You can perform strength-training exercises without clunky weights.

Oma loves the fact that these Resistance Bands are easy pack when traveling and also easy to store (they come with a nylon storage bag). They are a a great addition to my fitness routine.

Warning – be sure not to overdo it the first time you use your PhantomFit Resistance Loop Bands – Oma’s arms were a bit sore the morning after my first use.
