Stop Smoking!

Beating the Odds. Nutrition to Help You Quit Smoking for Good.

The statistics on smoking are truly frightening. Each year, smoking kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes, murders, suicides, and fires combined! It’s the single most preventable cause of all deaths, and is a major risk factor in contributing to coronary heart disease, emphysema and other respiratory diseases.

Smoking also drains the body of many essential vitamins and minerals, affecting the body's ability to absorb these vital nutrients. The major nutrient affected is vitamin C. The more you smoke, the more vitamin C you lose from your tissues and blood. The damage that smoke inflicts on your cells causes your body to need more vitamin C to counteract this damage. Vitamin C is one of the body's main antioxidants, which are linked to the prevention of a number of diseases. By reducing the body's ability to absorb this vitamin, smoking increases the individual's risk of developing these diseases.

The good news is that studies have shown that people suffering from addictions like smoking have a 50% better chance of quitting if they are on a good nutrition program at the same time! So how can one naturally quit smoking with the help of nutritional supplements?

It starts with a trio of fatty acids: Omega-3, GLA (gamma linolenic acid) and Lecithin to help raise dopamine levels which will help replace the cigarettes raising the dopamine. Nicotine raises dopamine levels chemically and prevents food cravings.

The herb ginseng also has an affect of diminishing the craving for nicotine by raising alkaloid in the brain, since nicotine also raises alkaloids. Ginseng is also an adaptagen that calms and reduces stress. Cordyceps, another herbal ingredient, also increases oxygenation to the brain.

Our recommend Stress Relief product also helps people to not smoke after eating. It also aids in sleeping and can lower elevated cortisol levels, thereby lessening the cravings for a cigarette.

Finally, on a social level one CANNOT be around smokers for two to six weeks while the dopamine levels adjust. And last, but not least, exercise as much as possible as it creates a response in the muscles that produces alkaloids which will help fight off the urge to smoke.
