Herbal Teas as Allies in Quitting Smoking and Lung Detox
Quitting smoking is a formidable journey, and it's tough because of nicotine, a super addictive substance in cigarettes. It makes your body depend on it, and stopping leads to withdrawal symptoms like feeling grumpy or having trouble sleeping. Smoking becomes a strong habit tied to daily routines and emotions, and it's hard to break. Seeing others smoke or feeling stressed makes it even tougher. Getting support from friends or professionals is crucial, but some might feel alone. Overcoming these challenges needs a mix of strategies, like changing habits and having support. Every attempt to quit is a step towards better health, showing how strong someone is for taking on this complex challenge and the support of herbal teas can be a valuable companion in this endeavour. Herbal teas offer a multifaceted approach, addressing not only the physical addiction but also the psychological aspects of smoking.
Here's how herbal teas can play a role in the journey towards quitting smoking:
Substitute for Smoking:
Herbal teas serve as a satisfying alternative to the ritual of smoking. The act of preparing and sipping tea can replace the hand-to-mouth habit, providing a comforting routine without the harmful effects of tobacco.
2. Withdrawal Symptoms Management:
Many herbs used in teas possess calming properties that can help manage withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, and stress. By promoting relaxation, herbal teas make the transition to a smoke-free life more manageable.
3. Cutting Down on Habit:
Sipping herbal teas throughout the day can help break the habit of reaching for a cigarette. The gradual reduction in the frequency of smoking, coupled with the positive effects of herbal teas, contributes to a smoother cessation process.
4. Negating Harmful Effects:
Certain herbs have detoxifying properties that may help negate the harmful effects of smoking. Lung detoxification becomes essential in quitting smoking, as it supports the body in expelling accumulated toxins and promotes respiratory health.

A lot of younger people have no idea what aging actually looks and feels like, and the reasons behind it. That ignorance is so dangerous. If you don’t want to “be old,” you aren’t talking about a number of years. I have patients in their late 80s who could still handily beat me in a race—one couple still runs marathons together, in their late 80s—and I lost someone who was in her early 60s to COPD last year. What you want is not youth, it is health.
If you want to still be able to enjoy doing things in your 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s, what you want to do, right now, is quit smoking, get some activity on a regular basis (a couple of walks a week is WAY better for you than nothing; increasing from 1 hour a day of cardio to 1.5 will buy you very little), and eat some plants. That’s it. No magic to it. No secret weird tricks. Don’t poison yourself, move around so your body doesn’t forget how, and eat plants.
If you have trouble moving around now because of mobility limitations, bad news: you still need to move around, not because it’s immoral not to, but because that’s still the best advice we have. I highly recommend looking up the Sit and Be Fit series; it is freely available and has exercises that can be done in a chair, which are suitable for people with limited mobility or poor balance. POTS sufferers, I’m looking at you.
If you have trouble eating plants because of dietary issues (they cause gas, etc.) or just because they’re bitter (super taster with texture issues here!), bad news. You still want to find a way to get some plants into your body on a regular basis. I know. It sucks. The only way I can do it is restaurants—they can make salads taste like food. I can also tolerate some bagged salads. On bad weeks, the OCD with contamination focus gets so bad I just can’t. However, canned beans always seem “safe,” and they taste a bit like candy, so they’re a good fallback.
If you smoke and you have tried quitting a million times and you’re just not ready to, bad news. You still need to quit. Your body needs you to try and keep trying. Your brain needs it, too. Damaging small blood vessels racks up cumulative damage over time that your body can start trying to reverse as soon as you quit. I know it’s insanely, absurdly addictive. You still need to.
You cannot rules lawyer your way past your body’s basic needs. It needs food, sleep, activity, and the absence of poison. Those are both small things and big asks. You cannot sustain a routine based on punishment, so don’t punish your body. Find ways to include these things that are enjoyable and rewarding instead. Experiment. There is no reason not to experiment—you don’t have to know instantly what’s going to work for you and what won’t, you just need to be willing to try things and make changes when things aren’t working for you.
You will still age. Your body will stop making collagen and elastin. Tissues you can see and tissues you can’t see will both sag. Cushioning tissues under your skin will get thinner. You’ll bruise more easily. Skin will tear more easily. Accumulated sun damage will start to show more and more. Joints will begin to show arthritis. Tendons and ligaments will get weaker and get injured more easily, as will muscles. Bones will lose mass and get easier to break. You’ll get tired more easily.
But you know what makes the difference between being dead, or as good as, in your 60s vs your 90s? Activity, plants, and quitting smoking. And don’t do meth. Saw a 58-year-old guy this week who is going to have a heart attack if he doesn’t quit whatever stimulant he’s on. I pretended to believe it was just the cigarettes, and maybe it is, but meth and cocaine will kill you quicker. Stop poisoning yourself.
Baby steps; take it one step at a time; you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. But you do need to be working on figuring things out.

WHAT IMPACT DOES SMOKING HAVE ON YOUR WORKOUT AND BODYBUILDING ROUTINE?
The primary preventable cause of death in the US is cigarette smoking. Each year, more than 480,000 Americans die from tobacco-related illnesses, including cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Smoking cigarettes not only puts your health at risk, but it can also impede your progress in the gym. Cigarette smoking has been shown to have a negative impact on both aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance. In addition, smoking cigarettes can lead to an increase in body fat and a decrease in muscle mass.
If you are a smoker, quitting is the best thing you can do for your health and your workout routine. There are many resources available to help you quit, including nicotine replacement therapy and other cessation aids. Quitting smoking is a difficult process, but it is one that is worth the effort.
The Effects of Smoking on the Body:
Smoking cigarettes exposes the body to a variety of harmful chemicals, including tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine. Tar, in particular, is a highly carcinogenic substance that can lead to an increased risk of lung cancer. Carbon monoxide can also be harmful, as it can reduce the amount of oxygen that is available to the body’s tissues and organs. Nicotine, meanwhile, is an addictive drug that is known to cause increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and restricted blood flow.
All of these chemicals can affect the body in a variety of ways. For example, smoking can lead to an increase in body fat and a decrease in muscle mass. It can also lead to a weakened immune system, an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and an increased risk of respiratory illnesses.
The Impact of Smoking on Workout and Bodybuilding Progress:
The effects of smoking can have a direct impact on both aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance. When engaging in aerobic activity, smoking can increase the body’s recovery time and decrease its oxygen uptake. This can result in poorer exercise performance and a reduced overall endurance. Smoking can also have an impact on anaerobic performance.
Studies have shown that smoking can reduce the number of repetitions that can be performed, as well as reduce anaerobic power and strength.
Smoking has also been shown to reduce the body’s testosterone levels and decrease muscle mass. Unfortunately, these changes can make it difficult, if not impossible, to make progress in the gym, as smoking can reduce the body’s ability to stimulate muscle growth, repair damaged muscles, and produce energy.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Other Cessation Aids:
Fortunately, there are many resources available to help smokers quit. In particular, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and other cessation aids can be useful for helping people quit smoking. NRT is a form of therapy that involves the use of nicotine replacement products, such as gums, patches, and inhalers, to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Other cessation aids, such as medications and counseling, can also be beneficial.
Quitting Smoking for Good:
It can also lead to a decreased risk of heart attack, stroke, and other smoking-related illnesses. Quitting smoking can be difficult, but it is worth the effort in the long run. With the right support and resources, you can quit smoking for good and reclaim your health and exercise routine.
