If you’ve been trying to quit smoking and have not been able to succeed, then worry not. You’re not alone.

There are a lot of smokers out there. We all know at least one smoker in our social circle. Out of all those we know or do not know - many of them wish to quit this slow-poisoning habit.

Whether you’ve tried to quit smoking before or not, it’s important to know that you can never fail unless you stop trying. The good news is, there are many healthy foods that can help you curb your cravings and put your body on a path to recovering from a nicotine addiction.

Here are some healthy foods that help you burn the cravings to smoke for your health and wellbeing:

1. Ginger
Ginger is a great way to kill the cravings as it controls nausea. Nausea occurs as one of the withdrawal symptoms of smoking. You can take ginger in warm water, have ginger tea or you may as well look for ginger capsules to help overcome the cravings.

2. Milk
According to a research, cigarette tastes terrible with dairy products including milk. So, make milk as part of your daily diet. It will not only help you quit smoking but will also make your bones and teeth strong as milk contains calcium and other important probiotics.

3. Dark Chocolate
This one has got to be a favorite. Who doesn’t love chocolate? So even if you don’t want to try other foods, you can always try dark chocolate to kill the need to smoke. Dark chocolate raises serotonin levels in the body is a very good source of antioxidants. When you take chocolate, it gives you the same sensation as of smoking. So make sure to carry some choc with you to keep the urge to smoke at bay.

4. Nuts
If you feel the craving for a smoke is driving you nuts, then it’s good to go take some dried nuts. Almonds, cashews and walnuts are great source of alkaline which helps curb the need for nicotine. Dried and crunchy nuts are delicious, and consuming them a handful a day can keep the craving away.

5. Fish oil
Omega-3 fatty acids from the fish help quit smoking. The fish oils are found to cut down nicotine levels in the body which consequently curbs the need to light up a cigarette. Seafood like fish is generally a better option for those trying to quit smoking as other meats have an opposite effect on your body.

Other than these foods, green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits are very helpful to kill the smoker in you and give birth to a person with a healthy body.

Incorporate these foods in your everyday diet to stay healthy and fit, and live a meaningful live with your family and loved ones. Health is the biggest wealth!
