Foods that could help quit smoking

As we step into the New Year, resolutions to quit smoking are common, yet many struggle to stay committed. Overcoming nicotine withdrawal symptoms is challenging, but an expert suggests that one's diet can aid in the journey to quit smoking successfully.

Ginger is recommended as a helpful tool in curbing the desire to smoke. Sliced ginger pieces, with a sprinkle of black salt, can be placed in the mouth when the urge to smoke arises, effectively reducing the craving.

Spearmint leaves are another suggested remedy. Keeping a supply of washed spearmint leaves and chewing a few when the urge to smoke strikes can provide a temporary distraction, making it easier to resist the temptation to light up.

Indian gooseberry, known for its various health benefits, is highlighted for reducing nicotine cravings. Regularly chewing raw pieces and consuming a glass of water with them every morning is advised to help diminish the desire to smoke. The antioxidant-rich fruit can also aid in eliminating accumulated toxins from regular smoking.
