If you are looking to ditch tobacco, make sure you include at least 15-20 minutes of physical exercise each day to maintain unwavering focus on quitting, a fitness expert said Saturday on the occasion of World No Tobacco Day.
"Regular exercise can increase mental concentration and that could help in quitting and maintaining discipline," Soumen Das, owner of a fitness centre, told IANS on the sidelines of a walk with college and school students to raise awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco use.Das said the first step towards quitting should be to introduce light exercise every day, followed by counselling sessions to monitor progress."The first changes are lifestyle alterations, like exercising, that should be introduced when one wants to quit," he said.There are over 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, of which at least 250 are known to be harmful, and over 50 are known to cause cancer.Tobacco-related diseases often strike people in the prime of their working lives, leading to fall in productivity and income, according to WHO.
