Quit Smoking: 3 Natural Drinks That Can Help You

As Mark Twain once said: ” Quitting is easy, I’ve done it a thousand times.” If this is your case, if you too have tried without ever succeeding, we encourage you to gather your willpower.

Believe it or not, goodwill is a subtle and perfect combination of awareness, effort, social support, and a clear desire to invest in health and wellness.

From our space we suggest that if you have not yet managed to quit smoking, try again but with more determination. The natural drinks that we indicate below can help you.

1. Stop smoking with this antioxidant-rich drink

The drinks that we now reflect to you will not  by themselves get us  to stop smoking. They promote our health, fight anxiety and protect the respiratory system.

They are therefore “mediators”, which will make the strategies that we apply throughout the day to quit smoking easier.

With this natural juice based on lemon, orange, carrots and papaya, what we are going to achieve above all is to detoxify our body and cover those vitamin deficiencies that nicotine brings us.

We explain it in more detail:

• Vitamin A: Carrots are very rich in this type of vitamin (beta-carotenes), necessary to repair the effect of free radicals that smoking brings.
• Vitamin B: Both citrus fruits and papaya have this vitamin, very useful for the process of eliminating nicotine in the body. As a curiosity we will tell you that, if you also add a little wheat germ or beer yeast, the benefit will be greater.
• Vitamin C: Essential in our diet to stop smoking. Its antioxidant and purifying effects help us take better care of our lungs and repair injured tissue.

• Zinc: this natural smoothie is very rich in zinc, a type of mineral essential for treating many problems associated with the respiratory system.

Ingredients

• 2 carrots
• The juice of 1 lemon
• The juice of 1 orange
• A cup of papaya (200 g)
• A teaspoon of powdered brewer’s yeast (5 g)
• A glass of water (200 ml)

Preparation

We will take this smoothie every morning as soon as we get up. To do this, you will only have to wash the carrots well, obtain the citrus juice and take it all to a blender along with the papaya, a glass of water and that tablespoon of brewer’s yeast.

Get a very homogeneous drink and enjoy. Remember to take it every day in the morning!

2. Infusion of licorice and apple peels

With this infusion based on licorice root and apple peel we will control the anxiety produced by the withdrawal syndrome.

• You can find licorice root ready to infuse in any natural store.
• It is digestive, anti-inflammatory and capable of regulating anxiety and nervousness.
• If, in addition, we add the peel of an apple, the benefits will be greater: we control the level of sugar in the blood, we take care of our weight and we take care of the liver. It is very medicinal, it is worth a try.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of water (250 ml)
• 1 tablespoon of licorice root (10 g)
• The peel of an apple
• 1 tablespoon of honey (25 g)

Preparation

• The first thing we will do is wash the apple well and peel it. It is important that it is organic, like licorice, so it is worth buying it from parapharmacies or health food stores where the quality of the product is always taken care of.
• Bring the water to a boil and, when it is already hot, add the licorice and apple peel so that it cooks properly for half an hour.
• After that time, let it rest, and then strain all the content and keep the infusion obtained.

• Transfer to a large bowl and sweeten with honey. You can drink it at the time you feel most nervous or with the effects of withdrawal syndrome. It feels great.

3. Nutritious water to quit smoking

When it comes to quitting smoking it is important that we drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and thus purify our body.

Therefore, it is worth always having a ready-made jug at home that also allows us to benefit from adequate medicinal properties.

Take note of the preparation.

Ingredients

• A lemon
• An orange
• 1 carrot
• A teaspoon of ground ginger (5 g)
• 1 teaspoon of ginseng (5 g)
• 15 grapes
• 1 liter of water
• 3 ice cubes

Preparation

• It is very simple to prepare. To do this, you can start by obtaining the juice of the orange and lemon. Reserve the lemon rind, washing it well beforehand and then cutting it into thin strips.
• We cut the carrot into several parts and we go to the blender. Includes citrus juice, carrot, ginseng, ginger, and 15 grapes. Very easy!

• Get a very homogeneous smoothie, and in a jar, combine it with a liter of fresh water, the lemon peel and a few ice cubes. You’ll love it!
