Want to start 2017 off right — meaning without a crash-diet or a detox?

There are plenty of things you can start doing now to set yourself up for a healthier New Year.

Sure, you're probably not going to wake up looking like an underwear model tomorrow — but you can certainly start feeling better and improving your digestion in a week, according to registered dietitian and nutritionist Andy Bellatti.

Here are a few things Bellatti and other nutritionists recommend.

DO: Drink lots of water.

Water is essential — it regulates the shape of every cell inside our bodies. If we don't get enough, in fact, these cells begin to shrivel up.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends choosing water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages to "help with weight management." Swapping a cold glass of H2O for a single 20-ounce soda will save you about 240 calories.

So hydrate, Bellatti told Business Insider. "Ideally with water." Not a fan of the absence of flavor? He suggests spicing it up with a few slices of lemon, lime, or cucumber.

DON'T: Drink only water — or any other beverage.

If you're considering a "detox" or "juice cleanse,"you might want to reconsider. Drinking just water, juice, or any other liquefied concoction for more than a few days can set you up for unhealthy eating behaviors, and can often lead to unhealthy spikes and drops in blood sugar levels, which can spawn cravings and mood swings.

"This is a recipe for 'hangriness,'" says Bellatti, "that also inaccurately paints all solid food as problematic."

DO: Cut back on sodium.

Most of us — 89% of adults, according to the CDC— eat too much sodium, band that's not including any salt added at the table.

While salt intake remains a hotly debated health topic, eating too much of it is linked with puffiness and bloating, according to Harvard Health. Depending on your diet, cutting back on sodium can be an easy ways to start feeling better.

"Sodium retains water," says Bellatti, "so lowering sodium intake also reduces puffiness."

"New year, new city?" If you're in the market for a fresh start and a new job, you may want to consider adopting this motto.

But not just any new city will do.

As it turns out, places like Miami and Salt Lake City are better for job seekers than New York City and Los Angeles right now, according to personal-finance site WalletHub.

To narrow down the 20 best cities for finding a job in 2017, WalletHub compared the 150 most populous US cities based on 23 metrics (like job opportunities, employment growth, monthly median salary, and safety) across two key dimensions (job market and socioeconomic environment, with a greater emphasis on the former).

"My personal challenge for 2017 is to have visited and met people in every state in the US by the end of the year. I've spent significant time in many states already, so I'll need to travel to about 30 states this year to complete this challenge.

"After a tumultuous last year, my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future.

"I've decided to put joy first and made a thoughtful list of all the people in my life I like best but don't see often enough. I've set aside the first Monday night of every month to have them all to dinner. Groups of six, only people who know how to laugh."

Jon Stein, CEO of Betterment, would like to show his daughters more of the world

"My resolution for 2017 is to explore more adventures with my 1- and 3-year-old daughters — starting with the sights, neighborhoods, and parks of NYC and our beautiful surrounding region. I want to show them the world, and I want to see it again through their eyes, learning from them. Weekends were made for this."

A friend of mine, who is obviously much grosser than I am, wanted to know how to motivate herself to clean her home on a regular basis.

After, all cleaning and decluttering have psychological benefits— but they can also be boring and annoying.

To help out said friend who is definitely not me, I did some research on the most effective ways to trick yourself into not being a slob.

Here's the best of what I found:

1. Break it down into smaller tasks

A 2015 study suggests that breaking up a big task into smaller pieces is one way to combat procrastination. That's because simply completing a task — even a tiny one — can be psychologically rewarding.

So try deconstructing the cleaning job into super-simple steps: Buy cleaning supplies one day, sweep the living room floor the next day, clean the kitchen counters the third day, etc. You'll be more likely to tackle the project this way than if you expect you'll do the whole thing in a single afternoon.

2. Knock down the barriers to staying clean

Sometimes you're going to feel pumped to clean and sometimes you won't. It's how human motivation works.

In a 2012 presentation, psychologist BJ Fogg explained that when you do feel motivated, you should do everything you can to make it easier to clean when you're not motivated.

For example, when your motivation is high, you should buy cleaning supplies, unpack them, and put the broom and dustpan right by your bed. That way, when you come home after a long day, all you've got do is grab the cleaning supplies right in front of you to get started.

3. Set a 10-minute alarm

Redditors stand by this tip. One described it this way: "I set an alarm for 10 minutes and then see how much I can get done in that time. Usually, it gets me motivated to keep going after the timer goes off, but if it doesn't at least I did something."

As procrastination expert Timothy A. Pychyl told Psychology Today: "Make a deal with yourself" that even though you don't like doing the task, you'll do it anyway for 10 minutes. Once you've already made some progress, it'll be less tempting to quit.

4. Remember that you don't have to feel like cleaning

In a 2014 Harvard Business Review article, psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson cites wisdom from Oliver Burkeman's book "The Antidote."

Burkeman asks: "Who says you need to wait until you 'feel like' doing something in order to start doing it?"

In other words, Halvorson explains, you don't need to feel inspired to clean or committed to cleaning — though that would be nice. You just need to get it done.

5. Know that it's okay to outsource your chores

Perhaps you feel like hiring someone else to clean for you would be lazy or not worth the money. Try it once and see how it feels.

In 2015, Business Insider's Jacqui Kenyon wrote about sending her laundry to a wash-and-fold service, because it's not that much more expensive than doing it herself and it saves a lot of time and energy.

Meanwhile, former Business Insider editor Jenna Goudreau said she pays $80 a month for a housekeeper — and it may have been the best money she'd ever spent.

Ultimately, if you really want a tidy apartment and you know you're never going to choose cleaning over working or socializing, this may be the best option.

6. Use if-then planning

In that same Harvard Business Review article, Halvorson describes "if-then planning" and why it's effective. Instead of trying to summon the willpower to sweep twice a week, you give yourself specific instructions about where and when you'll sweep.

For example: "If it's noon on Sunday, I will get out the broom and sweep the living room."

7. Ask yourself if you really need to be cleaning right now

If you really don't want to do it, maybe you don't need to. For all the benefits of keeping a tidy home, there are other productive ways to spend your time and energy.

Behavioral scientist and "Happiness by Design" author Paul Dolan told New York Magazine that it's important to consider whether a clean place would really make you that much happier.

Dolan said: "If I had a choice between being outside with my kids on a beautiful Saturday and staying inside to make sure my desk is tidy, I'd go for the former."

The results are in, and, really, it isn't even that close.

JPMorgan finished 2016 in a dominant position when it comes to Wall Street dealmaking revenue, according to figures from Dealogic.

The US bank earned the most in fees in global investment banking, US investment banking, and investment banking in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

It also finished the year top of the table for debt capital markets revenue, equity capital markets revenue, and syndicated loans revenue, according to figures from Dealogic.

It made more money than its rivals in seven of the 11 product areas and in eight of the 10 most important sectors.

Only Goldman Sachs offered much resistance. The US investment bank ranked top for mergers and acquisitions revenue, and it generated the most fees from clients in the industrials and consumer and retail industries.

Though based on estimates, these tables are the broadest possible and a closely watched indicator of who is up and who is down. Here's how the banks stacked up this time around.

Although fewer young people are getting married today than ever before, research suggests that getting and staying married is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

As the New York Times concluded, "being married makes people happier and more satisfied with their lives than those who remain single — particularly during the most stressful periods, like midlife crises."

A 2014 University of Pennsylvania study found that Americans who cohabitate or get married at age 18 have a 60% divorce rate. 

But people who waited until 23 to make either of those commitments had a divorce rate around 30%.

"All of the literature explained that the reason people who married younger were more likely to divorce was because they were not mature enough to pick appropriate partners," the Atlantic reports.

The honeymoon phase with its "high levels of passionate love" and "intense feelings of attraction and ecstasy, as well as an idealization of one's partner," doesn't last forever. 

According to a 2005 study by the University of Pavia in Italy, it lasts about a year. 

Once you start living together, you realize that you have different priorities and tolerances — like, for instance, what does or doesn't constitute a mess. 

"People have to come to terms with the reality that 'we really are different people,'"says couples therapist Ellyn Bader. "'You are different from who I thought you were or wanted you to be. We have different ideas, different feelings, different interests.'"

It's a stressful — and necessary — evolution.

Want to prepare for your next job interview?

Start thinking about how you'd fare in a zombie apocalypse.

Sometimes, interviewers just want to get a sense of how well you're able to think outside the box.

That's why it's not too surprising that some of the most successful executives out there like to ask some pretty weird questions during job interviews.

Here are some of those oddball questions.

DON'T MISS: Here are the personal interview questions one CEO asks during every job interview

'On a scale of one to 10, how weird are you?'

One of Zappos' core values is to "create fun and a little weirdness," Tony Hsieh, CEO of the company, tells Business Insider.

To make sure he hires candidates with the right fit, Hsieh typically asks the question: "On a scale of one to 10, how weird are you?" He says the number isn't too important, but it's more about how people answer the question. Nonetheless, if "you're a one, you probably are a little bit too straight-laced for the Zappos culture," he says. "If you're a 10, you might be too psychotic for us."

Another question Zappos usually asks candidates is: "On a scale of one to 10, how lucky are you in life?" Again, the number doesn't matter too much, but if you're a one, you don't know why bad things happen to you (and probably blame others a lot). And if you're a 10, you don't understand why good things always seem to happen to you (and probably lack confidence).

'What was the last costume you wore?'

It doesn't matter so much what they wore, but why they wore it. If the candidate's reasoning matches Warby Parker's core value of injecting "fun and quirkiness into work, life, and everything they do," they might have a real shot at getting a job there.

"We find that people who are able to make the job environment fun build followership more easily," the company's cofounder and co-CEO David Gilboa tells Iris Mansour at Quartz. "If we hire the most technically skilled person in the world whose work style doesn't fit here, they won't be successful."

'If you were an animal, which animal would you be?'

"The animal kingdom is broad, and everyone can identify with a specific animal they think embodies their own personalities and characteristics," Stormy Simon, president of Overstock, tells Business Insider.

"There are so many different human traits, where in the animal kingdom they put themselves, and why, really gives insight to the person answering the question. For example, just because you love dogs doesn't mean you would identify yourself as a dog," she explains.

Good answers, she says, are where the candidate picks an animal that they think truly personifies the traits that set them apart. "People have often chosen the same animal as other candidates, but the traits they describe have never been the same," says Simon. But they're not all good answers.

"One time an interviewee said they identified with a red panda because everyone thinks they are so cute and approachable, but it turns out they're just really lazy. We hired the candidate anyway despite that answer, but we parted ways within three weeks. It just goes to show how important the question is."

HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes also likes to ask candidates, "What's your spirit animal?"

As he tells writer Jeff Haden, "During her interview, I asked my current executive assistant what was her favorite animal. She told me it was a duck, because ducks are calm on the surface and hustling like crazy getting things done under the surface," he says. 

"I think this was an amazing response and a perfect description for the role of an EA. For the record, she's been working with us for over a year now and is amazing at her job," Holmes tells Haden.

The celebrities rocked the 74th annual Golden Globes Awards show red carpet on January 8, wearing shiny suits, sleek dresses, and lots and lots of jewels.

10 years ago, Steve Jobs revealed the first iPhone to the world.

It was a revelation.

Before the iPhone came out, smartphones were clunky devices, half keyboard and half screen.

Full websites didn't run on mobile phones, so companies were forced to build weak, mobile versions of their sites.

The iPhone changed all that.

And yet, the typical smartphone experiences we all enjoy today didn't happen overnight. It took years of Apple adding feature upon feature. By today's standards, the original iPhone was a primitive brick.

As a reminder of how far the iPhone has come, we've put together this slideshow.

Jay Yarow contributed to an earlier version of this story.

Yes, the original iPhone was a revelation. Here's what the competition looked like at the time:

That said, it's fun to look back and see how many now-common features were missing from the original iPhone.

It ran on "EDGE," or 2G wireless, which is painfully slow. It's basically as slow as home internet was before high-speed broadband.

Ten years ago today, January 9, 2007, was a milestone in the history of computing: The launch of the first iPhone.

It wasn't the first "smartphone," or the first phone with a camera. It wasn't the first mobile device to have a touchscreen, or to let users install apps. (In fact, the app store didn't even launch until 2008, a year after the first iPhone was released!)

But it tied numerous disparate features together in a cohesive, well-designed whole — kickstarting a mobile revolution that has transformed the modern world.

Today's app economy is bigger than Hollywood, and WhatsApp, Snapchat, Uber, Tinder, and more are essential parts of modern culture, collectively used by hundreds of millions of people around the globe every day. Seven years ago, none of that existed.

Announcing the first iPhone, on-stage at the Macworld conference in 2007, the late Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs was not humble about the device's possibilities. You can watch the full keynote below — or read on for the story behind it.

Jobs took to the stage in his trademark black turtleneck sweater for the now-legendary presentation.

"Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything," the executive said. "Apple’s been very fortunate. It’s been able to introduce a few of these into the world."

"Well, today, we’re introducing three revolutionary products of this class. The first one: is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second: is a revolutionary mobile phone. And the third is a breakthrough Internet communications device"

The 74th Golden Globes ceremony is the biggest night in entertainment as it honors the top talent and projects in both film and television.

Jimmy Fallon hosts the big celebration from the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California on Sunday.

Going into Sunday's awards, the musical "La La Land," starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, led the heap with seven total nominations, while "Moonlight" had the most of any dramatic film (six).

FX's "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" led the pack of TV nominees, while hits like "Westworld" and "Stranger Things" also found multiple nominations. 

Additionally, Meryl Streep will be honored with the Cecile B. DeMille award for outstanding contributions to entertainment.

It has been a freezing cold start to the new year for Europe.

Most of the continent has been hit by snow and freezing temperatures, and the cold snap seems set to continue for the next few days at least.

Southern Europe — where people normally enjoy mild temperatures even during the winter months — has been hit especially hard.

Snow has covered beaches in Greece, and ice has trapped ferries in Turkey and Italy.

The icy spell has also been a deadly one in many countries.

In Poland, 10 people died on Sunday due to hypothermia bringing the death toll linked to the cold weather to 65 since November, AFP reports. Extreme cold is still gripping some regions of the country with below minus 30 degrees.

The Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece and Bulgaria have also reported deaths from hypothermia, mostly amongst homeless people and asylum seekers, many of whom still live in very precarious shelters and tents.

Many countries have also reported deaths linked to poor weather causing traffic incidents. On Monday, snowfall in Istanbul paralysed traffic for a third straight day and hundreds of flights were cancelled.

With the cold snap set to continue for at least a few more days, here is a look at some incredible images of the freezing weather: 

Many regions of Greece saw freezing temperatures, and snow fell across most of the country including the Greek islands. Here, umbrellas are blanketed with snow at the beach in Artemida.

Istanbul's Blue Mosque was also covered in white as heavy snowfalls blanketed much of Turkey.

Italy was not spared by the cold snap either, and heavy snowfall covered most of the southern part of the country. This picture shows a frozen fountain in Rome where temperatures plunged well below freezing level over the weekend.

We lost a lot of legends in 2016, and we're not going to forget them soon.

As we settle into 2017, Business Insider has compiled a list of some of the most influential, important, and prized figures in entertainment who died last year — from towering music stars (Prince, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Merle Haggard, George Michael) to film legends like Carrie Fisher and Alan Rickman.

It's by no means an exhaustive list, but one that hopefully helps pay tribute to the talents who have left us as we move forward.

Here are 30 stars we said goodbye to in 2016:

The world of computer accessories and gadgets is huge. Even if you've got brand loyalty, in most cases a single brand has two or three lines of headphones, speakers, or smart devices.

More annoying is that accessories and gadgets vary in price substantially, so it can be difficult to decide whether the step-up to the next tier will be worth it.

This list is full of high-quality tech products, some of which I use regularly, that cost under $100. There are certainly great deals to be had for less than the price of the products here, but these are a little more substantial — and perfect for folks looking to up their tech game.

A Bluetooth speaker

In the arenas of size, sound quality, and price Anker's Soundcore Sport XL is unmatched. I've written about it many times, but it continues to be the speaker I use most on a day-to-day basis. 

It doesn't hurt that this is also a durable speaker; it's capable of withstanding a dunk in the pool, and exposure to dust and sand. That doesn't do me a whole lot of good in the winter, but when summer comes I like knowing that I can throw this speaker in a bag before a daylong trip and not worry.

The Echo Dot

My feelings about the Amazon Echo are well documented: Long story short, I love it.

The Echo Dot is the least expensive way to get into the Echo ecosystem, and has one great advantage over the other members of its family. Unlike the standard Amazon Echo and Echo Tap, the Echo Dot has an audio-out jack. While this is to compensate for its lackluster internal speaker, it means you can connect to any stereo and instantly have a smart stereo.

Because of all the apps that can hook into the Echo, hearing your favorite song is as easy as saying "Alexa, play 'America' by Simon and Garfunkel." While the Echo Dot will search Amazon Prime music by default, if your favorite song isn't there, you can ask it to play the song from Spotify. The functionality is so compelling I'm considering picking up a Dot just to have it.

High-quality headphones

If you're looking for bassy headphones, buy Beats. If you're looking for comfortable, luxurious, slightly exaggerated-sounding headphones, buy Bowers and Wilkins. But if you want totally neutral-sounding headphones, buy this pair by Sony.

We've recommended them before and will continue to do so until they're unseated in this category and price point. The only flaw of the Sony MDR7506 is their long and winding cable. It might have been acceptable in 1990, when these headphones were first released and most "serious music listening" took place near a stereo, but it isn't in 2016. Sonically, however, you'd be hard pressed to find much wrong here. Music from all genres sounds "right" when listening to these headphones, although they might take some getting used to if you've grown accustomed to headphones that accentuate bass or treble.

When the Oracle of Omaha talks, people make pilgrimages. In fact, thousands of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders flock to the tiny town of Omaha, Nebraska each year to hear him talk about investing.

Of course, if any business leader can command that level of devotion, it’s Mr. Buffett.

He has practically doubled or tripled his net worth in every decade of his life, and is now worth $67 billion.

A single share of his company’s stock? Try $191,396. That's enough to buy a house in any one of the 50 states.

Teach us your ways, Warren!

There are countless books on how Buffett accumulated his wealth (Amazon has almost 20 pages of results under his name). The number of articles about him on sites like The Motley Fool, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Insider is probably somewhere in the thousands.

But there aren’t that many articles on what he does in his spare time after work.

This isn’t surprising. In our current culture of competitive workaholics who regularly work late hours, Buffett’s office schedule is more valuable to readers than his home hobbies. But his famous zen attitude towards managing, investing and making billions can be largely attributed to his enviable work-life balance.

Here are 5 things Warren Buffett does each day that we could all learn from:

1. Read 500 pages.

Once, when asked how to get smarter, the Oracle held up a stack of papers and said, "read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge builds up, like compound interest."

Buffett estimates that he spends 80% of his waking day reading at work (financial statements, journals, reports) and at home (newspapers and books). Some of us don’t read that many pages each year.

"I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business." Makes sense; the better read you are, the more informed you are, the less impulsive you are.

2. Exercise a little.

Buffett once said that his secret to staying young is to "eat like a six-year-old." This includes drinking up to five Cokes a day. "I’m one-quarter Coca-Cola," he admitted. (Considering he owns $16 billion in Coca-Cola stock, that’s not too far from the truth.) Keep in mind that the 85-year-old also likes to eat hamburgers, steaks, hash browns, and root beer floats.

In 2007 (at the age of 77), he revealed that his doctor had given him a simple choice: "Either you eat better or you exercise." Buffett chose exercise, "the lesser of two evils." The simple life change must have worked. After beating prostate cancer in 2015, he still looks happy and healthy.

3. Be grateful, not wasteful.

Following in the footsteps of his hero, Chuck Feeney (who secretly gave away his entire fortune), Buffett is one of the world’s biggest philanthropists. His Giving Pledge also boasts dozens of billionaire signees, including Bill Gates, who have committed half their net worth to charitable causes. Buffett has pledged to give away 99% of his fortune during his lifetime.

"If you’re in the luckiest 1% of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99%."

He is also famously frugal, so it all works out. Not only does Mr. Buffett live in the same house he bought in 1958 for $31,500 (ironically, it costs significantly more to live next to him). He also likes to treat investors who visit him in Omaha to McDonald’s for lunch.

Volkswagen is putting a high-tech twist on its classic microbus.

The German automaker unveiled an electric microbus concept at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday. But this isn't the first time Volkswagen has given its beloved microbus a futuristic facelift — Volkswagen also unveiled a microbus concept at last year's Consumer Electronics Show.

Scroll down for a closer look at the microbus' evolution:

The very first Volkswagen Microbus went into production in 1950. Formerly known as the Type II or Kombi, the beloved bus is largely known as a symbol of the counterculture movement.

Around 3.5 million microbuses were made before Brazil ultimately became the last country to end production in 2013. Volkswagen said at the time it was the longest-produced model in the auto industry.

Volkswagen unveiled a new and improved concept version of the beloved microbus at CES in 2016. The electric minibus, called the BUDD-E, is capable of getting up to 373 miles on a single charge, Volkswagen said at the time.

The BUDD-E also came with other high-tech features, like doors that open with the wave of a hand and touchscreen displays with gesture control.
