Middle-aged married mom looking ahead while enjoying today My 2020 goal #2 is to adopt a permanent health-enhancing habit each month. I’ve decided that my new health habit for February will be to consume fresh organic juice at least 3 times each week.
We used to have a Jack Lalanne juicer but it bit the dust a few years ago. I’ve just purchased a juicer that’s a step up and recommended by some of the health gurus that I follow – the Champion juicer. It’s pricey so it’s only going to be a smart purchase if I really do make frequent use of it.
NEW HEALTH HABIT #2:
Consume fresh organic juice at least 3 times a week
BENEFIT:
Easily boosts absorption of vitamins, minerals, & antioxidants to provide energy and detoxification. Hydrates the body, improves digestion, keeps body in an alkaline state, promotes longevity.
COST:
Upfront – $350
Ongoing – $50/month
The ongoing cost is a guess. I already buy organic fruits & veggies but I do recall being surprised before at how much produce it takes to make a glass of juice. But on the other hand the juice will be a replacement for calories I’m currently getting elsewhere. I’ll update this number once I see the actual change in our grocery bill.
This new habit is an expensive one, probably the most expensive one I’ll acquire this year because it has both an upfront cost and an ongoing cost that are substantial. I was going to wait until later in the year to pull the trigger on this one since I have financial goals too, but I want the health benefits now. Expensive, but still cheaper than medical bills!
2020 health habits so far:
(1) Fast one day per month
(2) Consume fresh organic juice at least 3 times a week

BAWW, I would be overwhelmed if I tried to acquire 12 new habits at once and I know I'd fail. I did this last year too and wasn't completely successful because in the middle of the year I stopped adding new habits. But the ones I tackled did stick. I now have plants in the rooms where I spend time, switched to organic coffee, use fluoride-free toothpaste, don't consume soft drinks, and stand during conference calls.
