We all know smoking isn’t good for your body. In fact, tobacco holds first place for the substance that causes the most health damage worldwide. 6 million people die annually from smoking each year.
But even with statistics like this, there are still around 1 billion smokers in the world. The six leading tobacco companies still rake in $35.1 billion in profits annually, more than Coca-Cola, Microsoft and McDonald’s combined.
Nicotine addiction is a big part of that, which is difficult to squash. The withdrawal symptoms are the toughest part of the process.
But did you know there are foods and drinks you can consume that will rid your body of nicotine quickly and ease withdrawal symptoms?
Let’s take a look at some of them.
None
Water
Consuming at least half a gallon of water per day will help to flush out toxins and keep you healthy enough to face the quitting process.
None
Orange Juice
The body needs a broad range of vitamins, and orange juice provides them with a lot of them. A healthy immune system depends on the amount of vitamins C and D. Freshly squeezed organic oranges are the best for orange juice. Drink it between meals to get the best effect.
None
Spinach and Broccoli
It’s a double threat when it comes to fighting nicotine addiction if you eat broccoli and spinach. They have high amounts of folic acid, which is important in the nicotine removal process. They support the immune system with vitamins B5 and C and green for health.
None
Kiwi and Lemon
Smokers have a hard time getting vitamins A, C, and E. Flooding the body with these vitamins will keep one healthy and help repair the damage left behind. The vitamins found in lemons and kias are perfect for a new diet to help you quit smoking.
None
Green Tea
Up above, we mentioned removing any drinks one associates with smoking. However, if one cannot live without their daily caffeine intake, there are other options to coffee. Green tea is an excellent alternative. It is also full of amazing health benefits like antioxidants and brain power.
None
Carrots and Carrot Juice
Everyone knows nicotine ages the body, but few know that carrots fight the aging process. Adding carrots or carrot juice to one’s diet will help reduce the signs of age. Also, carrots are high in vitamins A, C, K, and B that boost the immune system and aid in detoxification.
Try these options alone or add them all together in a delicious morning smoothie. One can stop smoking in no time with the help of them.
