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.
