How to preserve health after quitting smoking:
1. Physical
fitness-
Daily exercise can be a good reminder to
make one realize that how much of the energy he has lost due to smoking
as he will find it quite tough to exercise properly. Physical fitness
enhances your energy levels and by bringing you close to the nature, it
also diverts your mind off smoking.
Beginners
should exercise for 30 minutes initially not essentially on regular
basis. Exercise not only ensures good health but also helps in
controlling weight. You can go for exercises like brisk walking and
playing.
2. Good eating habits-
Good eating habits ensure
prevention of weight gain and make you feel good. Eating nutritious diet
on regular basis helps a lot but you should not change yourself too fast
as it can result in fatigue.
Never try to quit smoking during
bouts of tension only to prevent snacking. It can result in consuming
more snacks or taking to smoking again and the person becomes addicted
once again.
3. Resisting longings-
Once you quit smoking, you
should also learn how to resist craving for cigarettes and food. If one
learns to overcome craving for 5 minutes, then it generally goes off.
Try
to busy your hands and mouth with things like chewing gum, solving
puzzles to replace smoking.
4. Be optimistic-
Eating habits
become better with the passage of time as you left smoking and food
tastes nice when you become habitual of eating healthy food.
Don’t
be pessimist and let yourself not to be afraid about weight gain. If it
happens you will surely lose weight with the help of your eating habits
and be confident about your choice to stay healthy.
