Hi Future Non Smoker
A side effect of smoking you may not have considered is the effect on estrogen. Nicotine or the combination of the thousands of toxic chemicals in a burning cigarette can reduce or completely cancel the effect of orally administered oestrogens.
This can increase hot flushes and raise cholesterol and therefore make worse the symptoms of menopause.
For men smoking is a sure way to drastically impact your sex life. Nicotine is considered an anti Viagra. It lowers nitric oxide which is important to increase blood flow in the penis and constricts blood vessels.
Smoking raises LDL which is considered the bad cholesterol. Cholesterol is a hormone found in every cell in the body and is instrumental in the production of testosterone, estrogen, DHEA and progesterone.
All of these hormones are produced in the adrenal glands and smoking stresses the adrenals affecting all the other hormones in this group.
This affects your sex life, your energy, your sleep, your capacity to think and that’s just the start.
Smoking causes your adrenals to secrete more cortisol which is the main stress hormone This makes you feel stressed and anxious.
When cortisol is too high across the day your normal melatonin production will be diminished. Melatonin is your sleep hormone so you need it or you will suffer.
Compounds in cigarettes affect your thyroid, the cyanide in cigarettes inhibits thyroid function and both under active and over active thyroid is made worse by smoking.
One of the main ways we influence our cells is via hormones. They determine if our cells are in a healthy growth phase or in a stressed out protective phase. To be blunt smoking is hard on your cells, and considering you have 50 billion of them you do not want them to under pressure.
The other way we influence our cells is va nutrients in the blood stream. So if your blood is pumping toxic chemicals and dirty oxygen to everyone single one of those 50 billion cells then you are in trouble.
A whole lot of these cells make up organs like your thyroid or adrenals, so here again is the effect that smoking is having on your hormones.
So if you want to make happy hormones , if you want your health to be as good as possible then you have to quit, and the best way to quit is with hypnosis. Fast, effective, low stress and the best way to go.
