~~Your body loves you, love it back.~~ Unknown
How amazing is it that our bodies work 24/7 and never give up on us? They work to minimize the damage as we put poisons in them...they heal our broken bones....they keep us walking...they allow us to see, to hear, to touch, to smell....they work when we're sleeping and when we want to sleep and when we can't sleep....they do, in fact, love us.
And how do we love them back? We withhold nutrients by not eating right. We dehydrate it by not giving it enough water. We push it to it's very limits as we don't get enough sleep, we don't know how to handle our stress or avoid it, and we poison it by smoking. Smoking depletes the oxygen in our bodies....slowly suffocating our bodies cigarette by cigarette.
But there is good news. Did you know that:
I got these facts from https://smokefree.gov/quit-smoking/why-you-should-quit/benefits-of-quitting. But you can talk to people here and find out some of this same information. I was amazed to notice that colors seemed brighter and more vivid....I could smell foods, nature, rain, people....I wasn't as cold....I slept better....and the list goes on!!
Back to your body, though. Don't you think it's time to treat it right? Don't you think it's time to make friends with it? Don't you think it's time to say "Thank you" to it? Don't hate it because you have high blood pressure. Don't hate it because you gain weight. Don't hate it because you can't breathe properly. Chances are much of this you did to it, not the other way around (although not always).
Love your body. It's the only place you have to live
