The Benefits of Stopping Smoking
(Part One)
So your thinking of giving up smoking but just need a
little persuading of the good things that will happen to you if you quit.
You’ve been forced to hear about the bad things that will happen if you carry
on but like me your probable fed up of that so let me tell you some of the
benefits of stopping smoking.
Scare campaigns get you thinking of quitting but the
truth is that few people go through with it. What the government should be
telling you about is the good stuff and how quick it starts to happen.
Let me tell you about some of the things that happen
within a few days of stopping smoking. Think about it for a minute, how long
does it take before there are benefits of stopping smoking. Most people think
a few days or even a week but the truth is that it only takes twenty minutes
before the magic starts happening.
Within 20 minutes of stopping smoking your blood
pressure and pulse rate drops to normal. Within 8 hours the carbon monoxide
level in your blood drops to normal and the oxygen level increases and by the
end of day one (24 hours) your chance of having a heart attack has decreased.
Amazing isn’t it but the good stuff is still to come.
After day two your destroyed nerve ending will begin to re-develop and
re-grow. Your ability to smell and taste things improves noticeably.
After day 3 your Bronchial tubes begin to relax making
breathing easier.
Wow! Who would have thought that stopping for such a
little amount of time could make a difference to your health and everyday
life. Your body is constantly recovering and getting better each day. Please
just try and stop smoking for 3 or 4 days and see if it is easier to breathe.
I’m sure you will want to stop when you see the improvement.
In part two of the article I’m going to tell you about
the benefits that happen after quitting for a couple of weeks to 15 years
where your risk of heart disease becomes the same as a person that has never
smoked. People don’t normally believe they can improve there health like this
and that’s why they never stop but now you know this I’m sure your going to
make a better decision.
