Top ten tips to stop smoking
|
Eat healthy. Avoid skipping meals as you will need the energy that food gives to help your body recover from the years of abuse. You may like to consider talking to your doctor or pharmacist about taking extra vitamin C, a multi-vitamin and a B-complex to help you through the first few weeks and months.

Drink water. Your body eliminates between two and two and half litres of water every 24 hours. Water is a great craving buster and helps you stay hydrated which reduces the feelings of fatigue and thus stress. Keep flushing out the system by drinking two to three litres of water every day. Herbal teas are also great and help the body heal in many ways.

Daily activity. Plan to incorporate a walk in to your daily schedule. Even 15 minutes twice a day will lift your mood and make you feel good. You may like to consider yoga or tai chi classes or dancing or bush walking or a gym work out. Take up tennis or swimming. Maybe you have always wanted to do a martial arts class. Maybe there is a hobby you have wanted to do. Choose some activity to keep you occupied.

| Avoid smoky places. Many people say their resolve weakened after going out with friends for drinks. They got drunk and next thing they knew they had a cigarette. For the first few weeks avoid situations where you may be coerced into drinking a little too much. |
