Nutritional Facts about Smoking and Health

To quit smoking is possible only by reducing the acidity of our body. Reducing the acidity of the body leeds to a better healthy body.

What increases our body acidity?

There are many factors but the main factor that cause acidity in our blood is the consumption of the wrong types of food, alcohol, drugs and the air that enter the human blood stream through the lungs.

Another main factor that plays a role in preventing smoking is having faith.

Careful research shows that people who have faith and perform their prayers like religious people, causes ones mind to indulge in more positive thoughts.

Praying throws the negative feelings from the human brain, and keeps you self confident thus prevents nervousness. Because smoking is seen as a negative habit and considered in some places on earth as poison, a praying person feels better and needs not indulge in smoking.

What about refined foods and too much of meat?

Any consumption of meat increases the acidity of our body.

By consuming natural foods and less meat your body will be well balanced.


Refined foods are another nutritional food that one should be aware of:


White flour products like white sandwiches, pizzas and cakes have almost no nutritional value and contain various chemical ingredients so as to have a better appearance, and full filling feeling.

Instead of white wheat buy the whole wheat bread for making your own bread and pizza.

White rice:

polished rice without bran also loses all the vitamins, minerals and causes acidity in our metabolism. A better option is using natural branned rice.

White sugar:

Sugar and its derivatives like chocolates, ice creams, puddings and cakes are subject to many chemical applications untill they become refined and granulated which in turn cause acidity in the blood.

Natural sugars exists in most fruits, some vegetables, and legumes. We can obtain natural sugars from legumes ,cereals, fruits and vegetables.

Ready made vinegars, tomato pastes, soups, puddings, pickles, tinned vegetables are all non natural foods. They lack the energy needed to sustain a healthy body and mind.

These types of processed foods have a high content of preservatives that add to the acidity in the blood.

Margarines, refined edible oils are also in its application are unnatural and shouldn't really be consumed. Because of the refining processes like bleaching, deodorising and additives they end up very unnatural and not worthy of classifying them as food.

Best alternative oils are cold pressed olive oil. Naturally occuring oils found in sesame seeds, coconut, groundnut, hazelnuts, peanuts, and walnuts can supplement all those processed foods. These oils are not only healthy they also taste better when added to your food.

One should eat Avocado or peanut butter to supplement oneself in place of dairy butter products.

Note that an inbalance of PH level in the blood causes diseases to start.
Some bacteria and virus flourish in acidic blood and thus anything that causes acidity in the blood should be avoided.

Instead of Tea, coffee, processed drinks like cordials, alcohol also increases the acidity of the blood.
We should aim to drink more natural filtered water, natural mineral water, herbal teas and fresh fruit juices.

All types of meat add to the acidity of the blood and meat should be consumed sparingly.

There are altrenatives to obtaining proteins in ones diet instead of meat. Soybeans, legumes, beans, lentils, and eggs from hens not kept in captivity have natural occurring proteins that can add great taste and healthy giving properties to the human body.

Too much consumption of animal products makes our body tired and sick and cause too much acidity in the blood. Too much acidity also kills our own blood cells that need to keep the whole system within in a natural state of equilibrium. Our immune system is compromised when our blood becomes acidic.

Quiting smoking is not easy but it is possible if you give it a try.
If you follow a good diet based on natural foods and very minimal intake of processed and fast foods then you can quit to a better life.
