Can you quit smoking by drinking green tea?

The biggest difficulty in quitting smoking is nicotine addiction. If you are quitting smoking, you can control it by drinking water when you want to smoke. Tao Ran, chief physician of the Addiction Center of Beijing Military Region General Hospital, said that five cups of tea a day is a panacea for quitting smoking, because the rich vitamins and tea polyphenols in tea can replace the excitement brought by nicotine.

Smoking can make people addicted mainly because nicotine in smoke can make people excited, but nicotine in smoke enters the blood and destroys the blood vessel wall. Drinking water can promote metabolism and eliminate nicotine in the blood in time. For smokers, drinking more water can naturally reduce the harm caused by nicotine.

"A cigarette after a meal is better than a living immortal" is the motto of every smoker. Therefore, before and after eating three times a day, smokers will become more addicted. At this time, you may wish to drink a glass of water slowly, which will help your body's metabolism, not only eliminate the feeling of fasting, but also dispel the idea of smoking. You will also feel that the water is particularly delicious, so you don't have to worry about increasing your appetite and getting fat after quitting smoking.

As for what kind of water to drink, Director Tao Ran suggested that tea is the best choice, because tea is rich in vitamins and tea polyphenols, which can smoothly eliminate the toxins "imported" into the body by smoking and induce diuresis. At the same time, tea can also make people excited, which can naturally replace the excitement brought by nicotine.

Director Tao Ran reminded that in order to completely quit the bad habit of smoking, you can drink 2.5 liters of water every day. Because smokers are addicted to smoking in the morning, quitters can get up in the morning and have a cup of tea slowly. Then, drink water in time before you get addicted. In addition, drinking more juice in the early stage of quitting smoking also helps to quit nicotine addiction.

According to foreign research, Japanese people smoke almost twice as much as Americans, but the incidence of lung cancer is only 1/2 of Americans. Experts believe that this result is related to Japanese people's good drinking of green tea. Therefore, people with conditions can drink green tea, such as Longjing and Biluochun, which is not only conducive to quitting smoking, but also can prevent the occurrence of lung cancer.
