5 Tips to Feeling Great After Quitting Smoking

This post presented by Katrina Robinson

So you’ve put down your pack of cigarettes and matches and have decided to quit smoking. Good for you!

…But now what?

These detoxification tips will help you through the quitting process—and stay a quitter.

The point of detoxification is to get all of those nasty toxins caused by nicotine out of your system. Follow these steps to participate in detoxification:

1. Stay hydrated. Be sure to drink lots of water. This will help to flush nicotine toxins out of your system.
2. Stay rested. Shortly after quitting, you may find that you are more fatigued than usual. Be sure to treat yourself to an extra hour or two of sleep during this time.
3. Stay fit. Get in some exercise. Exercise helps to promote cardiovascular help as well as increasing your oxygen levels. Start small, by walking or swimming, and then work your way up to more challenging exercises.
4. Eat healthily. Be sure to eat lots of fruits and veggies, especially dark green, leafy vegetables.
5. Supplement. Take 100-200 mg of Vitamin E each day after quitting. Also, take milk thistle (280 mg each day) to help flush out cigarette smoke toxins.

Sure, quitting smoking is hard, and the detoxification will be tough to stick to. But the benefits far outweigh the cons: you’ll experienced increased taste, better smell, respiratory relief, and your digestion system will start working properly and efficiently once again!
