Using Cranberry Juice to Stop
          Smoking
                By

    http://2stopsmokingtips.com
Introduction
• The first few days after your last
  cigarette, experts advise that you drink acidic
  fruit juice, with Cranberry juice being an
  excellent choice. According to them, the acidic
  nature of the juice helps to flush nicotine
  from the blood stream faster. They however
  say drinking too much juice the first 72 hours
  can lead to gaining extra pounds.
What is Cranberry Juice?
• Simply put, Cranberry Juice is the juice of
  cranberries (which are native to North
  America). When processed as a pure juice, it
  tastes bitter, just like lime juice but when
  diluted and sweetened, it becomes pleasing to
  the tongue. Most often, the term Cranberry
  juice refers to the sweetened version and not
  the pure juice. However, you need the pure
  juice which you can get at health food stores.
What is Cranberry Juice?(2)
• The taste, like I earlier said, is slightly
  bitter, but you can dilute it with apple or any
  other fruit juice can for sweetness.
  Alternatively, you can dilute the juice with
  water for a refreshing and beneficial drink. It’s
  got all the vitamins and minerals the body
  needs and you can buy fresh cranberries and
  juice them yourself.
Benefits of Cranberry Juice when
                 Quitting
• Makes nicotine cravings a thing of the past. Just drink it
  when a craving hits you. It’s a little known technique
  but it works all the time.
• Cranberry juice raises your blood sugar level, just like
  nicotine. If you quit smoking and succeed in keeping
  your blood sugar level, you experience an easy and
  stress-free cessation. This is because most of the nasty
  feelings and mood swings after cessation are blood-
  sugar related. The situation improves after a week or
  two. It’d suffice to say that most juices, aside Cranberry
  would help; it’s a minor sugar imbalance.
Cranberry Juice Benefits
• Replacing a substance you want to quit with
  the same substance isn’t going to help.
• Quit smoking cold turkey and beat cravings
  by drinking cranberry juice. According to the
  University of Maryland Medical Centre
  (UMMC), Cranberries are rich in antioxidants
  which fight cancer-causing free radicals
Cranberry Juice Benefits(2)
• Cranberry Juice also speeds up the process of
  excreting nicotine from the body. It operates
  in the same manner alcohol and stress cause
  smokers to smoke more because they lose
  nicotine faster and need to replenish it. The
  cranberry juice also speeds up the excretion
  process but because a quitter is no longer
  smoking, it means faster withdrawal from
  nicotine.
A Contrary View on Stop Smoking and
           Cranberry Juice
• As much as experts encourage the consumption
  of Cranberry Juice, a book titled “How to Stop
  Smoking” by Review and Herald Publication
  Association warns intending quitters to avoid
  cranberry juice. According to the book, “drink six
  to eight glasses of water between meals. Keep a
  record if necessary. The more liquids you can
  down, the quicker the nicotine leaches out of
  your body. Take no alcoholic beverages-no
  beer, no wine. If you prefer fruit juices, avoid
  cranberry, prune, and plum juice.”
Ex-smoker on Using Cranberry
              Juice
• Interestingly, Patrick Meninga, a successful
  cigarette smoker reveals how he quit by
  drinking cranberry juice. According to him, “on
  the first day off, I quit smoking at night before
  going to bed. I woke up the next day and
  started flushing my system by drinking
  massive amounts of cranberry juice. I drank
  the stuff all day long….”
So, Where Does That Leave You; an
         Intending Quitter?
• I highly suggest you use cranberry juice; it’s
  effective, safe and natural. What’s more, it doesn’t
  cause a re-addiction like some other quit smoking aids.
  Also, consume a lot of water, alongside the juice.
  Review and Herald Publication Association suggests a
  water schedule in the book titled “How to Stop
  Smoking.” “Upon rising in the morning”, the book
  says, “try to drink a glass or two of warm water. Then
  drink two glasses of water between breakfast and
  noontime, plus another two sometime during the
  afternoon. That will total six glasses …in addition to
  fresh fruit juice.”
Final Thoughts
• By substantially increasing your fluid intake
  during the first twenty-four hours, the book
  opines that you may find yourself rounding
  the corner on craving much sooner than later.
• There’s a caveat however; if you have
  diabetes, please consult your before
  committing to this juicing program.
