A Good Exercise Program – Vital To A Successful Lung Detox

Exercise.  It is something that the smart ones among us know the benefits of - especially if it’s regular - while the rest of us just don’t get motivated to get enough.  As the New Year arrives, be it your birthday or the start of a calendar year, it’s a good time to start a new exercise regime, or revisit something that was working for you in the past, but that you dropped due to other life pressures.

However, some people leap into exercise, boots and all, and either suffer injury or end up so sore they can’t make the exercise regular.  Like most things, you want to ‘warm up’ to your exercise program, starting out light and building up.  This will also warn you to possible sites of weakness that you can take into account, and prevent injury that will stop you getting the regular exercise we all so badly need.  Because while exercise is good, regular exercise is great.  A regular exercise program will show far greater benefits than sporadic attempts at activity, and regular exercise will greatly benefit a lung detox as well.

Just like when you want to clear out the engine of a car, so you take it for a long drive to ‘blow the cobwebs out,’ your lungs benefit from exercise.  However, it has to be the right form and level of intensity to suit your current condition.  You can’t expect to get off the couch after years of smoking and then go run a marathon.  Likewise, if your lungs are full of tar and degraded, you have to work them gently into a new level of exertion.  While general exercise will help all parts of your body, you can also do specific breathing exercises to improve the elasticity and volume of your lungs.

Life Post-Cigarettes – The Social Impacts Of Quitting

Anyone who’s been a smoker in the last few years knows how places where you can acceptably smoke have been dwindling.  Depending on where you live in the world (well in western countries anyway), first it was the airlines that went ‘smoke free,’ then pubs and bars, the malls, the workplaces, now we are getting to the point that you either smoke at home, or very few areas set aside for your less and less acceptable dependency.  The world is starting to take second hand and third hand smoke dangers seriously, and it really crimps the smoker’s lifestyle.
These days it is fairly obvious that smoking is the habit that is trendy to hate. 

Any smoker who has been sitting outside their workplace/favourite bar/home having a quiet smoke, and some self-righteous type wanders up and tells you how bad smoking is for you, would know what this is like.  Smokers already know what their habit is doing to them, and most either choose to quit (and keep trying to quit if they don’t plan well for it) or spend a lot of time trying to ignore the whole unpleasant situation.  Thing is, food addicts are in a very similar situation to smokers, but giving a person a hard time for being addicted to food is considered discrimination, but smokers are a valid target.

Simple fact is you can’t really escape the truth: smoking is bad for you, and those around you.  Smoking is no longer acceptable in most public places (in the west), and all those trendy places where you smoked are gone.  So what do you do, you change with the times, and quit smoking cigarettes.

This will be a big change; you’ll have to deal with not only the psychological and chemical dependency withdrawal, but at some point you’ll also have to change the way you do some of your regular activities.  It can be tough, but with the right advice and preparation, it can not only be managed, but new and interesting possibilities can open up to you.
