What are Some Benefits For Quitting Smoking?
By: Mike Lindsey
There are immediate benefits for quitting smoking. Within eight hours after you quit, the level of dangerous carbon monoxide gas in the blood returns to normal. Also, within the next 24 hours, your chances of having a heart attack begin to decrease dramatically. And just think of the money you'll be saving with the cost of cigarettes going up all the time, this to me is one of the biggest benefits for quitting smoking. Within the next two to three weeks you can expect to experience even more health benefits for quitting smoking. Your lung function will increase by 30 percent, and within one year your risk of coronary heart disease will have dropped in half. And after 10 years, your chances of dying from lung cancer will have dropped by about one half. These are just a very few of the benefits, there are alot more than this, believe me. There are just too many to list them all here. But one thing you can be sure of, that if you decide to quit today, you will definitely be healthier tomorrow. You can say good-bye to yellow fingernails and a wrinkled face, as well as dramatically decreasing your chances of getting cancer and heart disease. The choice is yours. The power and ability to quit is in your hands. For more tips on Quitting Smoking, visit, http://stop-smoking-cigarettes.blogspot.com Tips to Stop Smoking Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
