Quoted from "Weight Watchers Magazine" July/August 2007 Issue
"If you are trying to quit smoking, today's options are many, the patch, prescription drugs, hypnosis, and group therapy to name a few.
However, new research is pointing to a much simpler (and cheaper) soution.
A study from the University at Exeter in England found that a single 5 minute bout of moderate walking, 5 times a week reduced smokers' urge to light up and also reduced withdrawal symptoms like stress and anxiety.
Walk a little longer - 30 minutes, 3 times a week and you may offset the weight gain that some people experience when trying too quit smoking! Yet another reason to trade in that smoking break for a walking break."
Great news! A walk does really make a difference in more ways
than one! :)
