Smoking cigarettes poisons the whole body, therefore the process of its purification is long-term and depends on how long it has been subjected to the harmful effects of toxins. Fortunately, you can reach for proven, natural methods that will help you achieve success. This first step towards health needs to start with changing eating habits and using a cleansing diet.
The diet addressed specifically for smokers, which we present below, effectively improves the work of the intestines and its microflora. It supports the liver, which during its work cleanses the blood of toxic deposits. In addition, it regulates the work of metabolism and “pushes” probiotic bacteria to action, facilitating the removal of harmful substances.
The menu of a smoker and a person who is in the process of breaking the addiction should include products responsible for lung detoxification:
- Ananas – in these fruits there are valuable bromelains, enzymes that inhibit the development of toxins and diseased cells in the lungs. Pineapple supports the action of amino acids that build new cells,
- Avocado perfectly cleanses the lungs by secreting antioxidants,
- Dried apricots and peaches thanks to the content of beta-carotene, they support the respiratory system,
- Horseradish and the synigrin contained in it fights respiratory tract infections very well,
- Ginger – it contains essential oils that warm the lungs. In addition, they have a thinning effect on mucus, which makes it easier to secrete, and the body gets rid of pathogenic bacteria more efficiently,
- Rosemary It also has lung warming substances that help to get rid of phlegm and harmful toxins faster. In addition, rosemary causes greater circulation of air in the lungs and relaxes the bronchi. Then the condition of the entire respiratory tract improves,
- Thyme i.e. thyme oil contains thymol, which has a diastolic and expectorant effect, thanks to which the lungs remove toxins faster during expectoration.
Other products should be included in the diet of a smoker. Grapefruit, lemon – they cleanse the body by providing it with a lot of lost vitamins. Artichokes and garlic are effective at detoxifying and fighting bacteria effectively. The use of herbs such as mint, hives, dandelion or fennel supports the work of the digestive system, cleanses the stomach and intestines of toxins.
Smokers should remember to drink plenty of still mineral water. Preferably 8 glasses a day. Water causes nicotine to be removed from the body faster. By following such a diet, taking into account the products we propose, you will feel relief after three days from stopping the last cigarette. Your well-being will improve. Your sense of smell will sharpen, so you will feel like eating different meals than before. Taste buds will also rediscover the pleasure of eating. It is therefore worth quitting smoking for good and undergoing a cleansing diet that improves health.
