"There are three time periods" It's best not to smoke! If you have a big addiction to smoking, you should stick to it and don't be careless
Smoking, as a widespread social phenomenon, has had a profound impact on human health. Although many people understand the dangers of smoking, it is still difficult to get rid of tobacco dependence for a variety of reasons. However, there are certain periods of time when smoking can be more harmful to the body. This article will elaborate on these three time periods and why you should resolutely stop smoking during these times, even if you are addicted to smoking.
1. After waking up early in the morning
Early in the morning, when the sun shines through the curtains, waking up the sleeping body, many people habitually light a cigarette to start the day. However, this seemingly ordinary habit actually hides huge health risks.
The blood is viscous in the early morning: After a night's sleep, a large amount of water in the human body is lost through respiration, evaporation and urine excretion. At this time, the blood is relatively viscous and flows relatively slowly. If you smoke at this time, the harmful substances in tobacco are more likely to attach to the blood vessel wall, which will damage the vascular endothelial cells and accelerate the process of arteriosclerosis.
Smoking on an empty stomach is very stimulating: After waking up early in the morning, the stomach is in an empty state. At this time, smoking, nicotine and other irritating substances in tobacco will directly act on the gastric mucosa, increase gastric acid secretion, and cause or aggravate stomach discomfort. In the long term, it may also lead to chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers and other digestive diseases.
Affects lung detoxification: Early morning is the best time to detoxify your lungs. If you smoke at this time, it will seriously interfere with the normal detoxification function of the lungs, resulting in the accumulation of a large number of toxins in the body, which in turn will reduce the body's immunity and increase the risk of disease.
Therefore, after waking up in the morning, even if you are addicted to smoking, you should resolutely not smoke。Drink a glass of warm water, take deep breaths, or do a simple morning exercise to replace this bad habit. Not only will this reduce the damage to your body, but it will also help to refresh your mind and start your day with an energizing start.
Second, after eating
A cigarette after a meal, happy like a fairy. This is the mantra of many smokers. However, from a health point of view, the harms of smoking after meals should not be overlooked.
Affects digestion and absorption: Smoking immediately after a meal allows the harmful substances in tobacco to enter the gastrointestinal tract with food. These substances not only irritate the gastric mucosa, but also interfere with the secretion and activity of digestive enzymes, which can affect the digestion and absorption of food. In the long term, it can lead to malnutrition, indigestion and other problems.
Increased risk of cancer: The carcinogens in tobacco are more easily absorbed by the body after a meal. This is because the blood circulation of the gastrointestinal tract is accelerated after meals, and the harmful substances in tobacco are more likely to enter the blood circulation and distribute to various tissues and organs throughout the body. Therefore, smoking after meals increases the risk of cancer.
Impaired cardiovascular health: Smoking after a meal causes a rapid increase in the amount of nicotine in the blood. Nicotine is a strong vasoconstrictor, which can cause vasospasm and increase blood pressure, which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
For the sake of health, you should try to avoid smoking after meals。You can choose to take a walk, listen**, or chat with family and friends to relax. This not only reduces the damage to the body, but also helps to promote the digestion and absorption of food.
3. When staying up late and working overtime
When staying up late and working overtime, many smokers will choose to smoke to refresh their minds. However, this practice is not only not effective in relieving fatigue, but may also cause more damage to the body.
Increases the burden on the body: Staying up late itself will lead to a decline in the function of various organs in the body and a weakening of immunity. At this time, smoking will undoubtedly increase the burden on the body, making it easier for the harmful substances in tobacco to cause damage to the body.
Affects brain function: Although smoking may temporarily increase the brain's excitement in the short term, in the long term, the harmful substances in tobacco can damage the nerve cells in the brain, leading to problems such as memory loss and sluggish reactions.
Cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: When you stay up late and work overtime, the human body is in a state of stress, and your blood pressure and heart rate will rise. If you smoke at this time, irritants such as nicotine will further aggravate the constriction and spasm of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, when staying up late and working overtime, you should try to avoid smoking。You can choose to drink healthy drinks such as coffee and tea to refresh your mind, or take appropriate rest and activity to relieve fatigue. At the same time, you should also pay attention to maintaining good work and rest habits to avoid the harm caused by staying up late and working overtime for a long time.
In short, in the above three time periods, that is, after waking up in the morning, after eating, and staying up late to work overtime, even if the craving for smoking is great, you should resolutely not smoke. This is a responsibility for one's own health, as well as for one's family and society. Let's work together to stay away from the harm of tobacco and embrace a healthy and beautiful life.
