Transcript

Our bodies start the healing process as soon as we put out that plastic wrap, but the truth is that you might feel a bit worse right after you quit rather than better. This is because cells in your body are breaking down nicotine and other toxins, and they're excluding them, and there's more oxygen getting to various parts of your body that have been deprived. Healing can start within one to two hours after our last cigarette, and symptoms of healing are most intense for the first two to three days. Remember, these are signs your body's getting better hang in there because in time, you will start to notice how great you feel. Smoking deadens the movement of the tiny hairs or cilia in your lungs. And coughing is assignment that filia are waking up and working to clear accumulated tar.

As the numbness goes out of your mouth and throat, you may get a bit of a sore throat for a couple of days, throat lozenges or a lemon and honey drink my Help. We learn to associate smoking with certain tasks, and it may be difficult to maintain your concentration. It's recommended that you take frequent breaks, do some deep breathing exercises and maybe some guided meditation. Nicotine can act as a stimulant. So you might feel you're more tired than usual for the first few weeks. Just try to get more rest.

If you are on edge, nicotine is flushing from the body. Remember, it's an addiction. So drink lots of water, exercise and eat lots of antioxidants. Guess what? There's more oxygen getting to your brain and blood. You may feel dizzy as the oxygen level in your blood increases to normal.

Headaches are more likely if you continue to drink caffeinated beverages like coffee. Smokers metabolize caffeine quicker than non smokers. And so once you quit smoking, decreasing the caffeine in your day will help plan on getting extra sleep and more fresh air, constipation and or diarrhea may occur. And this is just your digestive system adjusting to the changes. It's common to dream you've been smoking, or to have more vivid dreams after you quit smoking, try deep breathing or relaxation exercises. So your brain is still looking for that dopamine and sugar and chocolate or other ways to get it.

Keep healthy foods around, drink lots of water and exercise and dead. If your lungs hurt after quitting smoking, they are working to clear out all that excess mucus and tar that is accumulated from the smoking. This is actually a very good time. There are several ways we can speed up the process of cleansing our lungs and body. For example drinking water when you drink more water more nicotine is released through your body through urine exercising This increases your body's metabolism rate, leading you to burn up nicotine faster. Sweat release through exercise takes nicotine and it's by products with it.

And when you eat foods rich in antioxidants, they can boost your body's metabolism rate. Solid options include dark green vegetables like lettuce, leeks, kale, broccoli and collard greens, sweet potatoes, red berries, blueberries, grapes, walnuts, and pomegranate. These foods also contain compounds like fiber that aid in toxin removal.
