(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 11, 2015 ) Oakland, Florida -- Most people agree that cigarette smoking is not a healthy habit. Doctors routinely warn their patients about the associated risks and the Surgeon General has run numerous campaigns on the topic. A serious health issue and one of the greatest risks to a smoker is heart disease. In fact, experts say that smokers are three times more likely to suffer a heart attack compared to non-smokers.
Rapid heart beat and increased blood pressure are side effects of smoking. In addition the level of oxygen in the blood is decreased when a person smokes. This all adds up to a greater risk of developing heart disease and ultimately suffering from a heart attack. Smoking cigarettes frequently receives the blame for a number of other age-related issues as well.
"The state of a person's health always shows up in his or her appearance. In fact, experts estimate that smokers look an average of forty percent older than those who don't smoke at all. A smoker in her early forties might look like she's in her mid to late fifties. I can't think of a better reason than that to stop smoking immediately. And younger women and girls need to understand that never starting in the first place is key to better health and premature aging prevention," said THAT Skin Care spokesperson, Cheryl Lynn.
There is good news for smokers who are concerned about their health. According to a German research study, individuals aged sixty and up can benefit from quitting the habit. The German Cancer Research Center took data from twenty-five different studies and analyzed it. Dr. Mons, an epidemiologist at the center, compiled information from over 500,000 adults aged sixty and up and the results were quite promising.
Dr. Mons found that risks decrease significantly within the first five years of quitting. Those who never smoke die from cardiovascular disease about half as much as smokers. Former smokers have much better odds than their life-long smoking counterparts with a risk of only 30% more than those who never smoked a day in their life. The message is clear that now is always a good time to kick the habit.
In addition to decreasing the odds of suffering from a deadly disease, the decision to stop smoking can improve a person's energy levels and overall outlook on life. As people age, they tend to look at any and all methods to help them feel better and look younger. Healthy foods rich in antioxidants and topical skin creams containing peptides are a popular choice for those concerned about an aging appearance (http://www.amazon.com/anti-aging-eye-cream/dp/B00CDTHC6G).
