The addiction doctor named 4 products that will help to cleanse the body from nicotine

It is possible to fully restore your lungs from the effects of addiction.

Smoking is one of the most toxic bad habits for the body. And, unfortunately, one of the most common. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1.3 billion people in the world regularly smoke or use tobacco in other forms. Russia, by the way, is among the top 10 most “smoking” countries.

Harmful and dangerous addiction can cause serious diseases. Including provoking the risk of cancer, heart and vascular diseases, and stroke. The detrimental effect on the body has nicotine contained in cigarettes – a toxic substance that is part of tobacco leaves. It affects the human nervous system, including causing addiction to smoking. Quitting is not an easy task that requires stamina and willpower. Not everyone can cope with it. Some products can help to cleanse the body of harmful effects.

To begin with, it is worth clarifying: no product in liquid or solid form does not wash out nicotine like a magic wand. The body will still have to process this substance and remove it with urine, and it takes time. But it is possible to neutralize the poison with the help of antioxidants and increasing the metabolic rate. What foods will help with this?

Water

The main product on the table should be clean drinking water. It dilutes the blood, making a person go to the toilet more often. A smoker should consume at least 2-3 liters a day. Especially to drink such a quantity in the summer is quite easy.

Vegetables and fruits

This is the basic set of every person. Vegetables and fruits should also be present in the diet of those who have a bad habit. Tobacco provokes cell oxidation and causes cell death. Products with fiber contain antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, as well as resveratrol. They neutralize active oxygen and reduce cell damage. They also reduce the harmful effects of nicotine on the mouth and throat: reducing the risk of chronic diseases of the throat, mouth, tongue and teeth.

Broccoli

A particularly good ally in the fight against smoking will be broccoli. The vegetable is the main source of vitamins C and B, due to which there is an inhibition of excessive oxidative processes. This brings the acid-base balance to normal. In addition, its consumption has a good effect on the general state of the nervous system.

Lemon and orange

Citrus should also be present in the diet. They will strengthen the immune system, undermined by a bad habit. They will also help to cope with insomnia, which often haunts a person who quits smoking.

Still, do not rely only on the magical effect of these products. Nicotine kills the entire body from head to toe. You can become a victim of trivial (but terrible) lung cancer, and you can permanently lose your sight and hearing. Or get frigidity, impotence and lose the ability to conceive and give birth to a healthy child.

However, it is possible to completely cleanse the lungs from the effects of nicotine if you want to. Tobacco, getting into the body, leaves two components. The first consists of nicotine itself and the second consists of cotinine (a non-toxic substance). The cycle of nicotine decomposition is 6-8 hours, but the poison is completely eliminated 1-2 days.

If a person is determined to quit addiction, his body will definitely recover. It will fully return to normal in 6-8 months. The period will depend on the length of use, age, weight and chronic diseases of the person. However, the smoker’s lungs themselves will recover for almost a year. At the same time, the process of cleaning the respiratory system will begin immediately after a person quits smoking.
