Health Insurance News - Quit Smoking Diet
There are many good reasons to quit smoking, and generally, non-smokers pay lower health insurance premiums than people who smoke. If you're trying to quit smoking, scientists now report that certain foods may help.
According to IT Wire, scientists at Duke University Medical Center found that certain foods improved or worsened the taste of cigarettes.
Dairy products such as cheese and cold milk, fruit, vegetables such as broccoli and non-caffeinated drinks such as water or juice made cigarettes taste worse. Alcohol, coffee and meat increased cravings for cigarettes.
Over 200 men and women who smoke an average of 22 cigarettes a day were polled in the study. The findings suggest that people trying to quit smoking may want to consider going on a non-smoking diet by eating more fruits and vegetables.
The researchers don't know exactly why certain foods make smoking less pleasurable, but scientists will next look more closely at the relationship between food and cigarettes.
For more good reasons to quit smoking, MSN Money's Hilary Smith describes the financial benefits of being a non-smoker including lower life and health insurance rates, lower dental bills, lower dry-cleaning bills and more.
