To improve your health, make up your mind that you are ready to change. Then choose a successful strategy that will work for you and the habit you want to break.

　　• Cold turkey This is a good choice for people who are determined to change and don’t want to mess around any longer. It’s best for true physical addictions and for people who tend to have trouble moderating their behavior.

　　• Substitute In many cases, you can substitute a healthy behavior for an unhealthy one.
　　• Set limits For some people, putting a time or quantity limit on a behavior works
　　Sugar
　　Cold turkey is the ticket. You may experience cravings and withdrawal symptoms, but most people find they disappear after two weeks. One healthy substitute is 2 to 3 ounces of dark chocolate daily, which may have some antioxidant benefits when eaten in moderation.
　　Smoking
　　All three strategies can succeed. Cold turkey is the toughest but quickest route. Choose a time when stress is at a minimum and you have a support network. A nicotine substitute is another option. They come in a variety of strengths and delivery methods, including gum, patches, sprays, and lozenges. If you’re not ready to quit, set limits on the times you allow yourself to smoke, or cut down on the number of cigarettes.
　　Eating Too Fast
　　Americans eat while driving, watching TV, or standing in front of the fridge. This encourages us to eat too fast and often too much. Slowing down improves digestion, allows us to recognize when we’re full, and provides more enjoyment from our food. Set limits by putting down your fork between each bite.
　　Snacking
　　At Night Munching after dinner can add up to hundreds of extra calories. First, eat a good breakfast with both fiber and protein. Shifting calories to earlier in the day cuts your appetite later. Set limits on the amount of snacks in your house. And choose a time when the kitchen is “closed” every night.
　　Sleep
　　Deprivation Too little sleep leads to loss of productivity and even may raise blood pressure. Set limits by picking a bedtime and sticking to it. Sleep is a learned behavior, and getting into a routine helps the process.
　　为了改善您的健康状况，赶快下决心准备改变自己吧。为您和您想要打破的习惯选择一个适合的能够成功的策略。
　　•突然完全戒除。这对那些决心改变并不想耗费很长时间的人来说是个不错的选择。而对于那些上瘾和节制能力较差的人则是最好的选择。
　　•寻找代替品：很多时候，你可以用一个健康的习惯来代替不健康的习惯
　　•设立限制：对于一些人来说，控制时间和数量能够起到一定效果。
　　Sugar吃糖
