Changes in the body of a person who quit smoking and smokers
In a person, quit smoking or only occasionally indulging in this habit, the following changes occur in the body:
- the breathing rhythm is disrupted and shortness of breath occurs (especially after physical exertion);
- allergic reactions often occur;
- there is discomfort in the heart area;
- sometimes there is a prolonged cough with sputum discharge;
- inflammatory processes develop in the oral cavity;
- taste qualities change, and therefore appetite increases;
- Colds become more frequent.
However after 2-3 months the condition will normalize, the lungs will be cleared of accumulated nicotine and breathing will become much easier.
Note! A former smoker constantly fights the urge to smoke. The habit weakens only when the lungs are completely cleared of tobacco smoke.
Will the lungs recover?
After quitting smoking, the lungs begin to cleanse themselves on the second day. After two weeks, these processes intensify, and if you wait at least a couple more months, nicotine will completely leave the respiratory system (in the absence of serious pulmonary diseases: cancer, tuberculosis, etc.).
To speed up the cleansing and restoration processes, traditional medicine recommends taking oats with milk. If you do this regularly and do not interrupt the course of treatment, the patient will soon get rid of shortness of breath and painful cough.

Preparation:
- A glass of whole oat grains is poured with 0.5 liters of milk and placed on low heat.

- The resulting mass is cooled and rubbed through a sieve. The result is a soft, sweetish paste.
Application:
A portion of ground porridge is eaten at one time. Frequency of use: three times a day for a week.
