Marilu Henner’s Total Health Makeover

STEP TWO: Get RID OF Caffeine and Nicotine

Caffeine is a drug and is highly addictive. It is the most overused stimulant in the world. It affects your nervous system; it elevates your mood and supposedly fights fatigue. But caffeine has its risks: It can cause hypertension, abnormal heart rhythms, problems with pregnancy, osteoporosis, ulcers, heartburn, and panic attacks and anxiety.

Again start slowly. No more than 2 caffeine beverages a day.

Nicotine doesn’t need an entire paragraph to tell you its bad for you. Anyone still arguing that has some soul searching to do. I’m all for people having the RIGHT to smoke, and where they want to. BUT, if you are feeling bad and want to get healthy, there’s no way around it. You have to stop smoking. I did, and I can’t believe how great I feel since I did.

I can’t tell you how to quit. There are so many methods. Cold turkey, stepping down, Zyban, the patch; I went cold turkey for the most part. Most people need some sort of help. I know several people personally who quit very bad smoking habits using Zyban.

How to Begin:

There might not be many great Baby steps for quitting smoking. Start thinking of yourself as a “non-smoker”. Start researching support groups online for people trying to quit. Gain advice from those who have quit successfully. Talk to your doctor about prescription options to help you through it. You can do it!
