Creating healthy habits can be an important first step to achieve a better lifestyle. Without the need for major changes, there are some simple habits that can be tried to improve overall health. Here are seven new habits that you can try from today to launch WebMD, Thursday, December 5.

Breakfast is important for several reasons. Breakfast speeds up metabolism and prevents you from eating excessively. In addition, research shows that adults who have breakfast will improve their performance at work and children who have breakfast can get higher grades in the exam. If you don't like large portions of breakfast, then eat snacks such as granola bars or a piece of fruit.

This will help you save time and money in the long term. Set aside time, then sit down and consider your goals and needs. Do you want to lose weight? Reduce sugar, fat, or carbohydrates. Add protein or vitamins? Food preparation keeps you in control. You know what to eat and when.

Water can provide many benefits for you. Stay hydrated is the most important thing, and water can also help lose weight. Another reason to drink water? Sweet drinks are associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. If you don't like water, add orange slices, lemons, limes, watermelons, or cucumber as taste.

Don't just drink a cup of coffee anymore, obey and move. Do a lunge or deep stretch. That's good for your body and mind. Walking for 30 minutes five times a week can help relieve sadness. And if you can't do it at once, walking for a while can also help.

New skills help maintain brain health. Register for dance classes or creative writing seminars. Better yet, master the new language. The mental work needed can slow down signs of aging and can even delay the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

If you smoke, stop. This is a big step towards better health. The body fixes itself quickly. As soon as 20 minutes you stop smoking, your heart rate and blood pressure will drop. Stop that habit, today. Your doctor will be happy to help you get started.

The benefits are almost countless. A sufficient night's sleep makes the mood better, sharpens memory and focus, and helps you learn new things. In the long term, adequate sleep can reduce the risk of heart disease and help you stay slim. Try to sleep for 7 to 9 hours every night. To get the best rest, do it according to schedule, sleep and wake up almost the same time every day.
