STAY FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT MOMENT. Try to view quitting as a series of small challenges and take them one at a time.
GETTING OVER WITHDRAWAL. Nicotine is a powerful drug, and your brain will react when it is deprived of its usual dose. This is what is called withdrawal. Dizziness, headaches, constipation, coughing, insomnia, fatigue, irritability, trouble concentrating: these different effects vary in intensity from person to person, but they dissipate gradually and should disappear in a few weeks.
To stay alive our body needs energy, materials to build and regenerate its cells, and last but not the least, the microelements, which are vital for metabolism processes. If we want our body to function normally, we must know how to satisfy its nutritional needs, which have been already well recognized.
The essentials are as follows:
The amount of energy, or the calories, that we consume, must correspond to its actual expenditure. We must maintain our weight close to the ideal.
Our daily food ration must be diverse, not to interrupt the metabolism processes at some stages.
We should take our meals at fixed time evenly distributed during the day.
Our body must be provided with all the vitamins, fat acids and amino acids it needs.
Test 1: Stamina.
Have a steady run for 12 minutes along a straight path. Try to cover as long distance as you can. Make a short walking interval if you feel you need it. Measure the distance and assess your results from the following table.
Yin is the cold or cool energy. Cooling foods like aloe vera, honey, cucumbers and peppermint are examples of Yin foods.
Yang is hot or warming energy. Hot foods like chili, beef and cherries are examples of Yang foods. When your Yin and Yang are in balance, you skin and hair are at their best.
Oily skin, Yang.
A person with oily skin, a tendency to break out in pimples and a hot temper tends to have an excess of Yang, not enough Yin.
Pimple, boils and the like are due to toxic heat. Smoking and stress also aggravate the situation. Note that stress can lead to acne and dry skin at the same time.
If that sounds like you, the best food for you would be the cooling food. Food like carrots, cucumbers, peppermint, honey suckle, apples, bananas and chrysanthemum are great for cooling the ‘fire’.
