May 29, 2009 · Posted in Quit Smoking · Comment 

Day 1 The first craving you have for a smoke, wait 1 hour before you let yourself have it. What I mean is, when your about to go out for your first smoke, wait for at least a hour. Go as long as you can if you can go longer. If you are at work, try and wait for your next coffee break or lunch break. So you should go as long as you possible can before having your first smoke. Then I am sure you need to give in, so go ahead, and don’t feel bad, it’s going to take time.

Day 2 Repeated day 1, but try for an extra hour.

- Do this until you go the first 8 hours of the day without having a smoke? If you try for a bit longer each and everyday, you should be able to do this in 7 – 10 days. One thing to remember is that you should keep this up until you only have 5 smokes or less in the last half of the day.

- By now, you should be looking forward to your first smoke, but you should feel good about cutting your smoking habits down by half if not more. Remember you should not binge smoke once you have your first, keep it under 5 smokes after that, until you go to sleep.

- Keep this routine until you have gone a steady 2 weeks. If you’re having trouble, use 1 or 2 of the natural remedies below.

- Now here comes the part where you flip everything around. Now in the morning when you get up, the first chance you get, have a smoke. You may notice it’s not the same; maybe you don’t enjoy it as much either. This is good! If you did this correctly you shouldn’t enjoy it as much as you were enjoying the smoke at the end of the day. Now go the whole day without having a smoke, and have a few in the evening before you go to bed.

- Do this until you can have one smoke in the mooring, and 2 smokes in the evening for a total of 3 smokes a day. Do this for a solid week and if you screw up try again. You have to do this for a SOILD WEEK! ONLY 3 SMOKES! You can do it! If you’re having trouble, use 1 or 2 of the natural remedies below.

- Now you’re going to get up in the morning, and want your smoke, but you’re not going to have it, you’re going to have 1 today, only 1! You pick when you want it, but DO NOT CHEAT! ONLY 1! You can do it!

- Keep doing this until you are only having one smoke a day for at least 2 weeks. YES 2 weeks! And every time you cheat, you start all over again. If you’re finding this difficult, you can try 1 to 3 of the natural remedies in the list below to help you get dependant on only one smoke. You still get your smoke, but you’re only having one! So choose when to have it wisely!

- YOU’V Done IT! If you’ve gone 2 whole weeks with only having 1 smoke a day. You’re inches away from never wanting a smoke again. The final step is obvious. Choose 2 to 4 natural remedies from the list below, and don’t have that smoke. Think back to when you quit your bad habit, remember your mind set, and think how much your going to improve your health, your confidence, your will power and your entire life by making this step. Besides, what good is that one smoke a day anyways? Its not even worth it is it? You probably were thinking the whole time you were only having one a day that you might as well just not have it at all. Your natural remedies are enough for you, your body is cheering you on, and it loves you! Your mind is stronger than ever! You ARE ALMOST THERE DO NOT GIVE INTO TEMPTAION! Other smokers are jealous of you because your better than the nicotine, your better than the addiction, you have conquered it………..almost. :)

- Keep going until you don’t need the natural remedies anymore. BINGO your smoke free, threes no need to smoke anymore. Why would you go crawling back after all of that work? Stay strong! You’re a fighter! And you’ve done well. You should be EXTREAMLY PROUD OF YOURSELF! Walk with your head held high! Smile! CHEER! YOU DID IT!

*Tips! – Don’t put yourself in positions that will make you want to smoke. Don’t take breaks with smokers. Don’t drink because that often makes you want to smoke more. Don’t substitute food for smoking. Don’t talk about smoking. Ask people who are smoking around you if they wouldn’t or would go somewhere else. Don’t be afraid to tell people you are trying to quit smoking and you need all the support you can get. Get your friends, and family involved. STAY POSITIVE!

Other Stop Smoking Tips ;

1. Analyze your habit for a few weeks, keep a log of when, where, and why you use tobacco.

2. List the reasons you want to quit.

3. Find substitutes like gum, or a pencil to hold.

4. Reward your resolve. Treat yourself with the money you would have spent on your habit.

Sources of Vitamins When A is What You Need

May 23, 2009 · Posted in Health Supplements · Comment 

Of the vitamins necessary for a healthy life, Vitamin A is one that’s often overlooked. You seldom hear anyone touting the positive effects of Vitamin A, but it is one of the most necessary vitamins for proper growth and development. In addition, Vitamin A is also necessary for the proper function of the reproductive organs and the immune system. Children who are deprived of Vitamin A at an early age may experience severe health problems related to an underdeveloped immune system.

One positive point of Vitamin A that is often overlooked is the maintenance of healthy skin and hair. That means that a person who isn’t getting sufficient amounts of Vitamin A is likely to have a more difficult time keeping hair and skin looking healthy, vital and young.

So why is it that we hear so little about Vitamin A? Part of the reason may be that most people get enough of this vitamin without any supplementation. Since there’s little need to “push” extra Vitamin A in a normal, healthy daily food intake, there’s little focus on Vitamin A and more on those vitamins that most people lack in their daily diets.

Vitamin A is also called Retinol. One of the most common ways to determine whether a particular food is rich in Vitamin A is the color. Orange-colored foods are typically good sources of this vitamin. Cantaloupes, carrots and sweet potato are among the more common sources. If you’re a woman and you eat a half-cup of sweet potato, you’ll have consumed two times the daily requirement of Vitamin A. It’s important to note that the requirements for men are slightly higher than the requirements for women, but a half-cup of sweet potato also provides more than one and a half times the daily requirement for men.

Some other good orange-colored sources of Vitamin A are red bell peppers, oranges and papaya. Other sources are kale, milk, eggs, broccoli and tomatoes. Raw foods are more viable sources of Vitamin A though some of this valuable vitamin is retained through processing and cooking.

If you’re looking for ways to round out your daily intake of particular vitamins, you should pay attention to the foods you’re eating that are sources of Vitamin A. As a general rule, you can rest assured that it’s very simple for most people to include sufficient natural sources of this vitamin. Cereals are often fortified with various vitamins and this may be another good source of Vitamin A.
