First off, congratulations on quitting smoking – undoubtedly one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. Next on the To-Do list: detox your body.
Smoking causes build up of harmful toxins in the lungs and rest of the body. Even if you weren’t a heavy smoker, there are still harmful toxins that have set up camp in your body and need to be removed. Using an herbal detox is perhaps the best method of removing these harmful chemicals and cleansing your body.
There are thousands of toxins inhaled into the body every time you have a cigarette. More specifically: 4000 chemical agents and 60 carcinogens that are inhaled into your lungs and then distributed through the rest of your body in your blood. Nicotine is probably the most common of these toxins and is also the leading culprit in the development of lung cancer. Other diseases you are at risk of developing from these cigarette toxins in your body include: heart disease, stroke, respiratory illnesses, bladder cancer, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease and kidney, cervical, stomach, pancreatic cancers, and so many more.
Do not let those built up toxins fester in your body and put you at risk of disease. Now that you have quit smoking, all it takes is implementing an herbal detox regime that will clean out all your major organs and won’t even disrupt your life. Herbal detoxes are found in natural health stores and are simply herbal pills that are taken in the morning and at night to help flush out toxins. Toxins will be released through your skin, urine, and bowel movements. If you would like to enhance your detox, consider modifying your diet to cut out fried or fatty foods and include fresh fruits, vegetables and water that help to replenish lost nutrients and cleanse the body.
