The Value of Eating a Well-Balanced Diet During Nicotine Withdrawal

[Guest guest]

Eat a well-balanced diet.

Treats are fine, but be careful not to go overboard with them during

nicotine withdrawal. Your body is working hard to expel toxins, which

takes energy. Choose foods that will provide you with the high quality

fuel you need. Avoid the empty calories of junk food.

Take a multivitamin.Smoking depletes our bodies of nutrients.

Give yourself a boost with the help of a multivitamin. This, combined

with good diet, will help you minimize the fatigue that can often occur

during nicotine withdrawal.

Stock the fridge with healthy, ready-to-eat snacks.The key to

making healthy choices when a snack attack hits is preparation. Keep a

variety of cleaned fruits and vegetables on hand in your refrigerator,

along with other low-fat treats that suit you.Ideas include:Grape or cherry tomatoesbaby carrots or celery sticks with low-fat ranch dressing or hommusmelon chunksfresh berries in season
