If you want another 5 good reasons to quit smoking just read along.
Everyone and their mother have been screaming their lungs out trying to get smokers to understand that smoking is a hazard to your health, showing us pictures of diseased lungs, cancer sick people and telling us all the statistics from diseases connected to smoking.
And still it hasn't worked on you? Maybe it is better to tell you about the benefits you get from quitting smoking? I'll give it a try here: 1.
Already within 20 minutes after your last smoke, your blood pressure will begin to normalise.
And don't cheat yourself into believing that you relax better when smoking...
It is not true, It is nearly an illusion you get, because your craving stops...
so its not that you relax better, it is because your body gets its nicotine high, and somehow it feels relaxing.
2.
Within 24 hours your blood flows a lot easier within your blood vessels, just because it is no longer being contaminated by the damaging content of the smoke.
Easier flowing blood means that it will begin to flow more and more freely to the outer parts of your body, namely the fingers and toes.
That's where a lot of smokers freeze more, and that's because there is not enough blood reaching all the way out there because of smoking.
3.
After 48 hours without smoking you will begin to get your taste buds back towards normal.
Off course they will not be near normally functioning quite yet, but most former smokers report that they begin to be able to taste things better at this point.
4.
At the same point in time, you will begin to smell everything clearer again.
And again it is from now on gradually improving over the coming days and weeks.
The carbon monoxide you used to inhale will be almost completely cleaned out of your body, and as another positive result your overall fitness level will begin to improve as well.
5.
3 days from your last cigarette a lot of improvements have begun to happen within your body, and now the natural glow of your skin is beginning to reappear because of the blood flowing more freely within you.
Your bronchi's will also start to be able to relax now, and your lungs will therefore start to really clean out the toxins and now and in the coming days you will be able to breathe more and more freely.
