Positive And Negative Side Effects Of Quitting Smoking |

|
For the first few days
after you have said goodbye to cigarettes, the most conspicuous
change in the system appears in the form of a dipping blood sugar
level. The ostensible symptoms come to happen basically due to the
lessening of the total blood sugar amount. Dizziness, concentration
lapse and other behavioral changes have been attributed to the sugar
related phenomenon. Also, you may experience a sudden hankering for
sweet food. The symptoms associated with the going down of blood
sugar resemble the lack of oxygen in the system of any and every
living being. This means that you have to encounter with a situation
where you lack enough oxygen. This prevents the brain from working at
its maximum capacity. This is where the symptoms like
light-headedness and nausea originate.
The relation between
nicotine and the maintenance of blood sugar may present itself as an
anomaly to the uninitiated. Nicotine does not supply the system with
sugar, as some people may come to think. It simply excites some
specific organs as a result of which the amount of sugar stored in
our body is released. This compensates for the low level of oxygen.
Consequently, the system can keep functioning normally despite the
lessening in the amount of oxygen.
When you quit smoking, your body has to
adjust itself with the changed situation. You will usually tend to
have more food to maintain the balance of the dipping blood sugar
level. It may eventually lead to weight gain. Lack of sugar is the
main reason as to why most of us develop a yen for sugary eatables.
The body finds itself at a loss due to low sugar, so it automatically
prods us to provide it with some form of supplements or the other.
This can be a very irritating symptom. The best thing to do is to
ensure the intake of several glasses of juice during the span of the
first couple of days. It fulfills this need of your body for the time
being, in the process acclimatizing yourself for the normal functions
of the future days.
