Increase in appetite


for 15 år siden 0 2606 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
As many of you are well aware, quitting smoking can cause an increase in appetite. This is because Nicotine stops hunger pains in your stomach for as long as one hour and also causes a rise in blood sugar level. When you quit, this is reversed and every little hunger pain is exaggerated. Eating, like smoking, is also a pleasure evoking activity. When you quit smoking, you may feel the need to eat more for stimulation, relaxation, comfort or as a way to socialize. Lastly, when you quit smoking, sweeter foods taste sweeter and salty foods taste better causing an increasing in overall appetite.  Remember always to keep healthy snacks on hand and lots of water to help control your appetite.
