Ive finally quit smoking and have a horrible cough. Any suggestions on what to do about this? -
It has been 5 days since I have stopped
A popular herbal remedy in China is to grate a fresh radish and mix that with two teaspoons of honey in small amount of water and drink the mixture. Radish is a natural expectorant and but honey is a natural antibiotic. It is also rich in proteins, Amino acids vitamins and enzymes.
To start to repair and reverse some of the damage to your lungs, eat foods that are highly alkaline - such as spinach, beets, greens, lima beans, raisins and figs. The vitamins and minerals in these foods will help repair damaged lung tissue.
Vitamin C takes a beating trying to combat the free radicals in your body that are caused by smoking. Even people exposed to secondhand smoke have serious depletion of Vitamin C.
Strawberries and blueberries are rich in vitamin C and fiber. They’re quick and simple finger food, and easily be added to your favorite whole grain cereal oatmeal, or low-fat yogurt. Pink grapefruit, guava are also good sources of vitamin C.
The health improvements continue long after you quit smoking. Your gift at the first anniversary of quitting is that your risk of coronary heart disease becomes half that of what you risked as a smoker.
Make it to your fifth year smoke-free and your risk of stroke is the same as a non-smoker. In ten years, your lungs become stronger and your chances of dying from lung cancer are only half as great as if you continued to smoke.
Yet another benefit - you’ll keep aging signs at bay. The mouth suction that you use to puff on the cigarette is terrible for producing or deepening wrinkles. When you stop smoking, you give those facial muscles a well deserved rest.
