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.
