These 6 Amazing Foods Will Flush Out Nicotine From Your Body
You want to get rid of the bad tobacco taste in your mouth, and that stale smell and sticky residue on clothing, furniture, walls and carpets! Or you want to pass a drug screening test for insurance or a job. And you’re burning to discard a filthy habit that can lead to heart disease and lung cancer! According to a recent study published in JAMA, reducing tobacco usage only reduces the risk of lung cancer (Good!), but not the risk of heart attack, bronchitis or emphesyma (Bad!).
So, let’s go do it!
* The first step is to junk the smoking habit and start regaining fresh smells and fresh tasting foods.
When you smoke a cigarette, nicotine circulating in your bloodstream is the source of the rush. 6-8 hours is how long the nicotine from a single cigarette lasts. Most of that nicotine gets eliminated in urine. 48-72 hours is how long it can take for most of the stored nicotine to be metabolized and leave your body. 20-30 days is how long the nicotine by-product cotinine can continue to circulate in the bloodstream.
* The key is to stay away from tobacco in any form and flush all the toxic nicotine from your body.
* Speed up metabolizing nicotine by increasing your metabolism with exercise and lots of fresh air.
Vitamin C is the best known substance for removing nicotine from the bloodstream. It increases metabolism and creates white blood cells. Fruits and vegetables help your body flush nicotine – they’re good for your health, they contain water and they make cigarettes taste less appealing. Milk and dairy products also make tobacco taste terrible.
* These six amazing foods will help you metabolize and flush out nicotine from your body:
