30BaD note: juicing (without the pulp) is not ideal for most people, it's far better to eat the whole fruit. why?

Comment by Artist81 on July 3, 2012 at 10:25am Tracy - Good point! I live in FL, which is mold central! ;/
Sheri - That is amazing and so encouraging! Thank you! :)
Comment by Itsy Sweeney on July 3, 2012 at 1:55am Well, you are on the right track by eating lots of fruits & veggies. I'm assuming this since you are here! You can learn some breathing/relaxation techniques to relax & expand your lungs.
Hypnosis works really well for accelerated healing & wellbeing, as well as guided imagery.
Also say to yourself out loud, "It is amazing how my lungs are so healthy and clear. It's so effortless to breath deeper & deeper with each & every breath! I can climb stairs & mountains with ease..like a wild young cheetah!!
Write this down & say it MANY times a day...1st thing in the morning & as you lay to sleep.. & all day & even while looking in the mirror!!
WORDS ARE VERY POWERFUL!
Do this everyday for 7 days & let me know how it's going..that is your homework!!
I'll send you blessings on my walk today.....Keep up the good, Itsy
Comment by T on July 3, 2012 at 1:23am Artist81: Be sure to exclude the possibility of allergies.... esp. mold.
Comment by Artist81 on July 2, 2012 at 11:37pm Thanks Itsy!
I actually did pass the year mark without feeling much different, but I was a heavy smoker for a long time (started in my teens), so I will just try to be patient. :)
Comment by Itsy Sweeney on July 2, 2012 at 7:32pm Hi Artist81. Congrats on quitting smoking!! Be patient with yourself. Your lungs & body are healing as best they can...give it some time..you've probably smoked for many years. Know that healing is happening! Here's some good info;
When Smokers Quit
Just 20 minutes after you’ve smoked that last cigarette, your body begins an on-going series of beneficial changes.
20 minutes Blood pressure becomes normal
Pulse rate becomes normal
Temperature of hands and feet become normal
8 Hours Carbon-monoxide level in blood becomes normal
Oxygen level in blood increases to normal
24 Hours Chance of heart attack decreases
48 Hours Nerve endings start re-growing
Ability to smell and taste is enhanced
Walking becomes easier
2 Weeks to Circulation improves
3 Months Lung function increases up to 30 percent
1-9 Months Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decrease
Cilia re-grow in lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus and clean
the lungs, thereby, reducing infection.
1 Year Risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker
This information is provided by The American Cancer Society,
And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Keep up the good! Itsy
Comment by Artist81 on July 2, 2012 at 2:53pm Hi!
Newbie here!
I really need some advice on how to rehab my lungs and cardiovascular system now that I have quit smoking. My lungs are just not recovering like I thought they would... Maybe it is because I am older (early 30's)? I really want to start exercising again, but I get winded and my heart starts pounding after I go up like two flights of stairs and sometimes when I try to laugh I feel like I can't breath and start coughing... Not cool. LOL
Anyone else have experience with this that can offer some good tips?
