Throughout the world, shares in the fight against smoking and tobacco dependence are increasingly giving their fruits.Having decided on such a cardinal change, a person should be ready for the fact that the path to a healthy lifestyle will be difficult.Moral torment, physical weakness, breakdowns and panic attacks are only a small share of what you have to experience.Over the years, the body is accustomed to nicotine, the brain uses this substance as a fuel for the work of a section of the nervous system, which is responsible for joy and pleasure.It is easy to guess that the body will try to resist the changes.
The first hours
It is in the first hours that the most acute need for cigarettes arises: a slight feeling of hunger appears, it seems that something is missing in the hands, and mood shifts occur.Nicotine is excreted from the body in 3 days, which cannot be said about toxins and harmful substances that have been accumulating for years.To get rid of them, it will take from 3 to 15 years.Changes in the first 24 hours:
- The very first changes can be marked already after 20 minutes from the moment of decision to quit smoking.Basket pressure, as well as the frequency of heart contractions, returns to normal.In the process of smoking tobacco, adrenaline and norepinephrine are released, it is these substances that narrow the vessels, which affects blood circulation.As a result of the feet and hands of the smokers, the smokers are always cold.Refusal of smoking will lead to the state of the body to the usual indicators.
- After 2 hours, the first negative consequences and discomfort will appear - sharp jumps in mood, lethargy, sleep disturbance.These are the first attempts by the body to rebel.He does not like that the level of dopamines entering a large volume in the process of smoking tobacco has decreased sharply.
- For complete elimination of carbon monoxide from the body, 8 hours will be required.This helps to saturate blood with oxygen.All because earlier the carbon monoxide competed for blood cells.After refusing smoking for oxygen, more space remains.
- It is worth not to resort to cigarettes within 24 hours - and the likelihood of a heart attack will sharply decrease.In this case, the cough will increase: this is how the body tries to remove toxins and harmful substances from the lungs.
It is frightened by many, that in the process even the first day, well -being worsens without cigarettes, but you can’t do without it.Although nicotine refers to the type of light drugs and there will be no pronounced “breaking”, with manifestations of discomfort, throwing smoking, you will have to come to terms.
First week
More and more changes a person will observe in the process of rejection of smoking over the next week.A strong, chest cough with a consequence in the form of sputum continues to grow.The body is trying to remove harmful substances in a natural way - they do not need to be afraid of this.
The critical point is 3 days.It is after three days previously that previously blocked by nicotine the feeling of hunger is manifested actively.This is an important change in women and men - after all, I absolutely do not want to change dependence on cigarettes, to the need for uncontrolled absorption of food.It should be understood that such a constant traction will not be: as soon as the work of the nervous system is normalized, hunger is settled.In order to facilitate the body to the body, and also not to gain a few extra pounds, you need to eat food with a lot of vitamins.
The period of the fourth and fifth day without nicotine is characterized by the normalization of the work of the gastrointestinal tract, mucosa.Refusal of smoking provokes an increase in the perception of tastes and smells.Such changes positively affect the appearance - the condition of the skin improves.
By the end of the week, the cough will only intensify, it may seem that a person is suffocating, but discomfort is justified by positive changes.The mucus accumulated on the bronchi is separated, which is accompanied by strong cramps in the muscles.An inconspicuous improvement in well -being is the formation of new, non -toxins of cells in the intestines.The first week without nicotine and smoking a person experiences the abnormal syndrome, which is characteristic:
- anxiety, increased irritability, tendency to aggression;
- muddy consciousness, migraine and dizziness;
- sore throat, inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa;
- impaired sleep;
- tendency to infectious diseases;
- depression, depression;
- trembling in the limbs, increased sweating.
It should be understood that changes in the body are positive when rushing, even if it seems that this causes inconvenience.Any manifestations of poor health are serious restructuring inside.On the 7th day of the first week, withdrawal symptoms will be reduced.
The first month
The main advantage, when you quit smoking, appear after a month after a month - you can do sports without shortness of breath and other unpleasant symptoms.Cardial loads will help to cope with the consequences of the cancellation syndrome: to discard several kilograms, to improve the emotional background.Blood flow is normalized, the purified lungs are able to maintain active running longer.
Sport will contribute to the fight against stress - the most important opponent in the fight against smoking.Each person is individual and the reasons to start or continue to smoke different.But most smokers agree that the process of smoking cigarettes helps to get rid of problems, smoldering tobacco soothes, clarifies the mind.In order not to succumb to temptation, remember that nicotine in this regard is a real fraudster - he does not fight the problem, but only temporarily removes the symptoms.
Significant changes in the body after a month are a full sleep, an increase in energy level, general vivacity.It will not take more than 5-7 hours to get enough sleep, and fatigue does not overcome in the middle of the working day, causing inconvenience.The process of renewing the body occurs at the cellular level, therefore it can be invisible, but it is.
Favorable consequences will not bypass and appearance.It is no secret that tobacco smoking is reflected in the condition of teeth, skin, hair and nails.A month without nicotine will remove yellowness and oily shine from the skin, rejuvenate the epidermis.Changes in men and women are identical in this regard.To help internal update processes, it is necessary to use more vitamins, to use cleansers - this will accelerate the process.
Six months without cigarettes and nicotine
Six months without nicotine dependence and smoking - almost 100% probability of success of getting rid of a detrimental habit.At this point, changes in the body of the former smoker are most noticeable and tangible both externally and internally.
For 6 months, the process of renewal of epidermal cells ended at least 10 times, which excludes dryness, yellowness and peeling of the skin completely.The need to “seize” stress is naught, diets begin to bring more benefits and results.Physical activity no longer leads to a strong fatigue.
Six months - a line that separates the smoker from the one who has overcome the dependence.That is how much the body needs to completely renew the blood cells.And this means that six months later, new blood will circulate through the veins, which was not exposed to toxins.
Changes in the body after 6 months are characterized by the beginning of the regeneration of the liver - it is this organ, along with the lungs, most of all suffers from residual substances.The process will last at least 5-6 months.In this case, the intestines and the gastric tract completely resume the work: a normal amount of acids is produced, the food is completely absorbed.
Tips for rehabilitation experts:
- Nicotine and smoking of cigarettes are closely connected, but this does not mean that one cannot exist without the other.Moreover, the most problems, inconvenience and disorders in the body occur due to burning tobacco, inhalation of smoke.And the body is dependent on nicotine.Therefore, in the absence of proper perseverance, you can overcome dependence with the help of nicotin replacement therapy.
- The help of a psychologist, as well as all kinds of hypnosis and suggestions, can also work, but this requires faith.A similar principle is used in medicine, the so -called placebo effect.
- It is worth underestimating the power of the habit - morning coffee with a cigarette, a dining smoke break, an evening trip with friends to a bar also cannot do without smoking.It is necessary to get rid of this, and it is better to change gradually.Morning coffee can be replaced with juice, lunch with a promenade, and in the evening watch the series.
- Smokers who have already sown dependence advise getting rid of any reminders of cigarettes that cause discomfort.No ashtrays and lighters in the house.It is advisable to warn the circle of communication about your desire to quit smoking so that no one offers temptations.
Changes in the body when rushing is to smoke to withstand not only six months, but also cope with the traction for the rest of their lives.There are a lot of other pleasures available to a healthy person - sports, outdoor activities, stable personal life, new hobbies and hobbies.
The long -awaited year without smoking
Seventh month - and the full restoration of taste receptors.Tasty food with different shades and accents may well replace the pleasure of smoking.Of course, you should not overdo it with the use of even delicious food - there is a risk of getting other health problems nearby.
It is also worth quitting smoking in order to fully distinguish smells again.Such changes in the body are observed after a week without cigarettes, but are fully revealed only after a year.
Full eight months without nicotine and cigarettes are necessary in order to completely get rid of coughing and sputum secretion.Even in the case of those who, due to serious dependence, "earned" a chronic obstructive disease of the lungs, persistent remission is observed.
For 9-10 months, there is another dangerous period.Stress at work or just problems can recall a simple mechanical habit of dragging on.Some who quit smoking note that smoking cigarettes begins to dream.This means that a person thinks a lot about tobacco and at any moment can break.At such moments, you need to find what you can get distracted: overtime at work, a new series or a book, walks.
After 11 months, rejection of smoking, no more restrictions in sports areas are difficult training, long -distance running, a bicycle race to the mountains.Health allows you to experience the body and improve it.
A year later, you can return by the time of the beginning and compare numerical data: the risk of vascular diseases has decreased by 30%, which quit smoking 50% less likely to earn heart attack, excluding other factors, by about 85% the likelihood of developing liver and lung cancer, by 65% - stomach and esophagus.
All of the above is considered a plus, but there are also disadvantages.The probability of a breakdown is still maintained, so you have to control desires and calls.Nicotine is a natural substitute for acetylcholine, which is responsible for the system of encouragement in the brain.If natural pleasures are not enough, the body will experience stress, and a person will be sad, depression, self -doubt.
Continuing in the same direction
Changes in the body do not stop even a year later.After all, we recall that for the complete removal of residual substances, it may be necessary up to 50 years.At the same time, it is also necessary to compensate for the years of smoking - appropriate treatment and lifestyle.
- 2 years - starting from a year and further, the update process will weaken, the changes will become almost invisible, so a person can decide that the refusal of smoking does not benefit;
- 5 years - the body needs so much that the risk of stroke and vascular diseases corresponds to a never -smoking person;
- 10 years - the period after which the risk of the formation of malignant tumors is reduced exactly in comparison with the smoking organism, it is necessary as much that the state of the lungs comes into full norm;
- 15 years - having withstood this period without nicotine and cigarettes, you can be sure that the risk of developing heart diseases is the same as that of non -smoker.
Doctors warn that with all the positive changes and improvements that, former, as well as the current, smokers must avoid infectious and colds.Weakened lungs are more prone to pneumonia and other diseases.
And at the end
To make it easier to tune in a positive way, you need to remember the following: when you quit smoking, you make a service not only to yourself, but also to others.Passive smoking is no less dangerous, but such people simply do not have choice.By your example, you can help a close friend, showing that getting rid of tobacco dependence is possible.
In the end, to overcome addiction should be for yourself.Even if it seems that there are no external improvements and changes, every year without nicotine the body regenerates and renews.No one cancels accidents, but only it is wrong to justify the inability to cope with the problem.If you can extend life and improve its quality - why not start doing it right now?
