1, smokers can eat
1, often drink tea.
When smoking, some compounds contained in the smoke will lead to the thickening of the intima of arteries, the decrease of gastric acid secretion and the increase of blood sugar. If you want to prevent these compounds from staying in the body, the best solution is to drink more tea.
This is because tea polyphenols, caffeine, vitamin C and other ingredients in tea can decompose these toxic substances. At the same time, tea has diuretic effect, which can help promote the discharge of toxic substances.
2. Eat foods rich in selenium.
The content of selenium in the blood of people who smoke regularly will decrease, and selenium is a trace element to prevent cancer. If the human body lacks selenium, the incidence of cancer will increase greatly. Therefore, it is suggested that men who smoke regularly eat more foods rich in selenium, such as sesame, malt, garlic, eggs, yeast, animal liver and kidney.
3. Eat more foods that lower cholesterol.
Smoking will lead to an increase in cholesterol and fat deposition in blood vessels, which will lead to a decrease in blood supply to the brain, which will easily lead to brain atrophy and accelerate brain aging. Therefore, in order to avoid the accumulation of cholesterol and fat in the body, it is best to eat less fatty acids and eat more foods that can reduce or inhibit cholesterol synthesis, such as beef, fish, bean products and high-fiber foods.
4. Increase the intake of alkaline food.
This is because alkaline foods such as fruits, vegetables and soybeans can effectively reduce the absorption rate of nicotine. At the same time, these alkaline foods can also stimulate gastric acid secretion, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, and avoid symptoms such as indigestion.
For smokers, the food mentioned above should be eaten frequently. Of course, food clearing lung can only play an auxiliary role. Quitting smoking is the key to keep the lungs healthier. Traditional Chinese medicine has many health prescriptions about quitting smoking. If necessary, you might as well know more about some health recipes.
2. Be alert to the misunderstanding of smoking
Myth 1: A cigarette in the morning makes you feel good all day.
This is the self-feeling of some "heavy smokers". The first thing they wake up in the morning is to light a cigarette, which they also call "morning smoke refreshing" If you don't smoke a cigarette in the morning, you will be at a loss and even feel that you have done one less thing. Especially for heavy smokers, people often sit under the quilt before leaving the bed and can't wait to smoke. Yes, sleeping and smoking a cigarette will "make up" the nicotine concentration in the blood that has dropped after a night's metabolism, which is really refreshing for those who are "heavy smokers".
But what we don't know is that there is almost no air circulation in the room all night, which may be dirty air. At this time, if you smoke, it is likely to be inhaled into the lungs with smoke, and smoking on an empty stomach will stimulate the bronchial secretion of fluid, which will lead to chronic bronchitis over time. There is a folk proverb: "Smoking in the morning, the west dies early", which gives people a wake-up call. Although it is exaggerated, it can also explain the harmfulness and seriousness of smoking in the morning to some extent.
Myth 2: Friends chat, drink and smoke.
Many people like to smoke while drinking. They think that friends' parties must have good wine and cigarettes, so as to have a good atmosphere. Both are indispensable. Drinking too much wine, lighting a cigarette and savoring it seems to be very fun. But you may not know that drinking alcohol and tobacco together is more harmful than drinking or smoking alone. Because alcohol will dissolve in tobacco tar, it will promote the transfer of carcinogens to cell membrane. Statistics show that 70% of oral cancer is related to smoking and drinking. The most serious thing is that tobacco and alcohol are carried out at the same time, so that the liver metabolic function can only take care of eliminating alcohol and it is difficult to take care of others, which leads to the toxic substances of tobacco staying in the human body for hours or even days, which aggravates the harm of tobacco to the body. Therefore, smoking while drinking is essentially a joke about health and life.
Myth 3: A cigarette after a meal is better than a living fairy.
This is a very harmful misleading to smokers. After a meal, the blood circulation increases, and nicotine is quickly absorbed into the blood, which makes people in a state of excitement, just like the "fairy" described by smokers. In fact, smoking one cigarette after a meal is more harmful than smoking ten cigarettes. Because the human body's heat is greatly increased after meals, smoking will inhibit the basic secretion of protein and bicarbonate, hinder food digestion and affect nutrient absorption. At the same time, it also causes direct damage to the stomach and duodenum, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, increased bile secretion, and easy to cause abdominal pain and other symptoms. Moreover, while the body actively digests and absorbs food, the absorption capacity of cigarette smoke is also enhanced, and the inhaled harmful substances are also increased. So it can be said that smoking after meals is harmful.
