Is it better to exercise or not to exercise after quitting smoking?
It is very beneficial to exercise during and after quitting smoking.

1. Stabilize mood and divert attention: Because quitting smoking will cause withdrawal symptoms such as addiction, anxiety, depression, anxiety, difficulty in concentration, insomnia, etc. Quitters can adjust their mood through light diet, distraction and exercise, and exercise can also divert their attention when they are eager to smoke.

2. Enhance cardiopulmonary function: Easy jogging can enhance respiratory function, increase vital capacity and improve human ventilation and ventilation capacity. The oxygen supply during jogging can be 8 ~ 12 times more than that during sitting. Oxygen is essential to maintain human life activities, and the ability to absorb oxygen directly affects the cardiopulmonary function. Jogging can strengthen and thicken the heart muscle, which has the function of exercising and protecting the heart.

3, enhance metabolism, accelerate the elimination of tobacco poison: regular jogging can accelerate the metabolism in the body, delay the aging of body functions, and excrete excess toxins and other substances in the body through sweat and urine.

In short, jogging, skipping rope, swimming, mountain climbing and other fitness exercises are all ways to quit smoking, but jogging has the best effect. Because smoking addiction is caused by nicotine acting on the central nervous system, when people are running, the pituitary gland can secrete a kind of "happy hormone" called β-endorphin, which makes people excited and energetic, thus inhibiting the onset of smoking addiction; In addition, during persistent exercise, the cardiopulmonary function and iliac muscle function of human body are greatly improved, so that oxygen supply in blood is sufficient, the decomposition of carbon monoxide hemoglobin conjugate caused by smoking is accelerated, and the onset of smoking addiction is alleviated. Quitters can jog for 30 minutes every morning and evening. After completely quitting smoking, most nicotine in the body can be excreted after 1-2 weeks, and the withdrawal symptoms of the human body can gradually disappear after about 2-3 weeks. Exercise to quit smoking must be persistent, because β -endorphin will not be stored for a long time after it is produced. With its metabolic cycle, giving up halfway will definitely give up.
