Quit Smoking Tip – Sunflower Seeds

September 4th, 2007 · 4 Comments

According to Martha Ashelman, author of Stop Smoking Naturally, research has shown that carrying raw or shelled sunflower seeds are particularly good for people trying to wean themselves from cigarettes. Every time you feel the desire to smoke, it is suggested that you go through the process of breaking seeds open and popping them into your mouth to munch on until the desire subsides.

Sunflower seeds contain compounds that mimic some of the effects of nicotine and can offer smokers some of the gratification they seek. They tend to have a mildly soothing sedative effect on the nervous system. They also trigger the release of glycogen from the liver, producing a temporary increase in brain activity and they raise the level of adrenal hormones in the body.

As a bonus, sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vital nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, and essential fatty acids. Try these top quality sunflower seeds from Raw Guru.

    I recently quit smoking and the first day of cold turkey, I bought 2 bags of different kinds of sunflower seeds. They have definitely kept my mind off smoking, everytime I get a craving I pop a couple and my craving subsides. THANKS SUNFLOWER SEEDS, YOU RULE.
