Central Nervous System and other damage due to smoking

Central Nervous System, Addiction to other drugs and even Alcohol addiction and ofcourse cancer is what smoking brings to the table. Quitting smoking is essential but how to do it?

One of the most harmful things things in the world is smoking. Many people are smokers in this world, they dont know what kind of harm they are doing to themselves, the ones that know are too afraid to give up on smoking, they are either addicted by the chemical nicotine inside cigarettes, or they do not care about themselves and others. The Central Nervous System, CNS for short is damaged greatly due to smoking as nicotine blocks your neurons ( nerve endings ) and many other adverse things. Smokers usually cannot run long, live a healthy life and have heightened risk of cancers just due to one bad habit. Heal your central nervous system and yourself before it's to late to recover.

Smoking has many adverse effects on the human body

First of all it affects the human nervous system, dulls the brain and slows reflexes. It does irreversible damage to the lungs which can cause death. You will be shocked if you see the difference between the lung of a non-smoker and one of a smoker.Cancer is also caused by smoking. Tar, a chemical in cigarettes is a sticky substance which attaches itself onto the lung tissues, there it multiplies when the lung tissue divides and thus the smoker suffers from a damaged lung tissue which is mutated.Emphysema another disease in the lung is caused by smoking, in emphysema the smokers cough damages the alveoli in the lungs, (Air sacs) which makes them blow up and recombine that reduces the total amount of volume in the lungs. Somewhat similar to hydrogen cyanide - Kills a person by coalescing the alveoli in the lungs.It also deposits fats in the lumen of the arteries which supply blood to the heart, the artery is narrow and so if too much fat accumulates the person might suffer from cardiac arrest/heart attack which could kill him.Smoking pollutes the air as it spews out carbon-di-oxide known to be a green house gas. It also affects the people around the smokers more effectively than the smokers as they do not have a resistance developed towards smoking - A term known as passive smoking. It is one of the most unfair aspects of smoking as people who do not smoke are suffering aswell.

Smoking - Leading to alcohol addiction

Smokers usually tend to go for other drugs and alcohol despite not being a drug, can be abused heavily. Alcohol addiction is one of the leading causes of deaths, due to increased accidents and intoxication. Alcohol addiction should be controlled, and reducing smokers usually tend to decrease the number of alcohol addiction affected people. This too can also damage the Central nervous system greatly.

Smoking causes many other effects aswell

1) It's the #1 Cause for wrinkles in the face and dullness or paleness of the skin. This is so as smoking constricts the blood flow of the arteries in the skin

2)Athletic performance is greatly reduced. Smokers have difficulty running and doing other physical activities as they are short of breath.

3)The most important fact of them all.. Smoking reduces your lifespan, I'm sure you've heard that experts say that 1 cigarette would cost you 7 minutes of your life.

Addicted to smoking - People who are addicted to smoking has to try very hard in order to give it up, if not possible in one day try reducing the amount of cigarettes per day slowly and eventually you'll give up.

Non-smokers enjoy a life where they can run without gasping for air frequently, Play games that requires all sorts of running and activities.. and most importantly no dullness and tiredness.

Smoking does not make you "Cool" all it does is help you die faster. Quit smoking for the betterment of yourself and others.

Quitting Smoking

Due to all these effects, the only logical thing to do is to drop the cigarette and move on, but quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do. It's the same as any other kind of drug addiction ( which may lead to more ) but the fear of cancer and other side effects should be enough for someone to be quitting smoking. If it is not, then just think about everyone else who you might cause indirect smoking due to you. Your child, wife, parents, friends who do not smoke may be exposed to it and it is so much more harmful. Therefore quitting smoking is an important thing to do.

Stress Relief through 5 Simple Methods

Stress Relief through Deep Breathing and by controlling your heartbeat

It's only natural to be more productive in work if you're not under stress. Through stress relief you can guarantee your work being much more productive, and thus by performing these relaxation techniques you can be working with a happy mood. There are many ways in which a person can relax but there are tested and tried techniques that can relieve your stress in a matter of moments, it requires a little practice but you can get to it soon.  These techniques include - Deep breathing, Muscle relaxation, Mindfulness, Yoga and Visualization.

Deep breathing and Yoga for Reducing Heartbeat

It may seem simple, because it is! This is exactly what it says, focusing on full, clear breaths which is a very powerful relaxation technique. It's the easiest of all the relaxation techniques and can be performed almost anywhere. The way  to breathing deeply is to first inhale as much as air as possible. The reason doing this is to take in as much as oxygen as possible. Oxygen can make you less tense and anxious. To perform deep breathing properly follow these steps carefully. Firstly sit straight up and make sure you are comfortable then put one hand on the chest and another on the stomach. Breathe in slowly through your nose and then exhale using your mouth. Control your heartbeat. Yoga combines deep breathing and adds in poses in which improves strength, balance, flexibility and stamina. Performing Yoga in groups is recommended as it is very easy to injure oneself while performing it alone. These techniques help control your heartbeat. This Yoga Set is my recommended, The kit is simply amazing and easy, simple to use.

Muscle relaxation for Stress Relief

This is a great technique in which you have to relax and tense targeted muscles in the body. Practicing Muscle relaxation regularly can help you feel which parts of your body has gone under tension and how to relax them. Being aware of this helps you identify the muscular tension caused due to stress and then counteract it to relieve the stress and reduce heartbeat. Combining this technique with others can help achieve additional relaxation. To perform muscle relaxation you need to loosen yourself and get comfortable. Breathe in and out to stabilize yourself and then when you're ready to go, immediately change your attention to a specific part of your body for example your left foot. Notice how it feels and then tense the muscles in your foot for a period of ten seconds. As you let go of the tension notice how relaxing it feels. Go through all the muscles of your body like this to achieve relaxation.

Mindfulness and Visualization for Stress Relief

Being mindful about your environment is more of a spiritual way of relaxation but it's still proven to help. It's about being calm and thinking of the present situation instead of thinking about the negatives. In this way you can have a clear mind about how to tackle your problems and reduce stress as well. Practicing mindfulness requires a quiet area where you can think slowly. Visualization is somewhat similar to mindfulness but here you think about anything that can calm you down, this is what makes your imagination come into play. It's usually hard to imagine things when a person is under stress so it's best to do it step by step, imagining the smaller finer details and then going onto the bigger idea. Visualization can be even used along with calming music and so can mindfulness. It's very easy to zone out so keep a track of time while you perform these techniques.
