Physician and cardiologist Olga Shashkova said that some products can cleanse the human body of the effects of smoking. A bad habit clogs the body with tar and nicotine and provokes diseases.
According to the doctor, the breakdown cycle of nicotine is about six to eight hours, but it will take one to two days to completely eliminate it. Proper nutrition, which includes foods containing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, will help remove this substance from the body, Shashkova noted, Pravda.ru reports.
The list of 10 healthy and affordable foods included spinach, broccoli, orange, ginger, rose hips, lemon, carrots, pomegranate, sauerkraut and wheat germ.
Speaking about the benefits of ginger for smokers, the specialist clarified that the product promotes detoxification, improves metabolism and lipid metabolism. And broccoli protects the lungs from oxidative and inflammatory processes caused by smoking. Oranges will help relieve stress for people who have decided to quit smoking. Spinach promotes rapid elimination of nicotine. Sauerkraut has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the entire gastrointestinal tract – a weak point for smokers. Wheat germ can strengthen weak blood vessels in smokers, pomegranate can support the circulatory system, and carrots can replenish antioxidant reserves.
