hi guys dr berg here in this video we’re

going to talk about why

people smoke cigarettes okay

well primarily because they want to look

cool right not necessarily

maybe that was the original reason but

there are some other reasons

why would someone want to smoke

cigarettes when it has 4

000 chemicals it has 42

known carcinogens those are things that

cause cancer

carbon monoxide formaldehyde cyanide

arsenic ddt

cadmium benzene fungicides

why would anyone smoke well primarily

because it creates relaxation

sharpness more alertness and calmness

okay

so it’s it’s really the the addictive

nicotine

okay nicotine is a very calming effect

on the body

it’s a vasodilator it relaxes the body

so nicotine is very very very

addicting and it creates these positive

effects

but it comes with a package of all these

harmful things right here

it’s interesting if you were to take the

nicotine patch or take consume

nicotine it does not cause cancer

it doesn’t it’s these chemicals that

cause cancer

so yeah the patch the vapor cigarette is

way way better okay now the way that

nicotine works is that it stimulates

part of the nervous system called the

parasympathetic nervous system and i

want to talk about that

you have two parts of the nervous system

well actually there’s three but there’s

really

two we’re going to talk about the

sympathetic nervous system that’s the

flight or fight

that’s the stress mode and then you have

the parasympathetic

and that’s more rest and digest okay

flutter fight

rest and digest so it’s a calming

relaxing

nervous system that also you know just

chills you out

and helps you focus too um

so the parasitic nervous system is

stimulated by nicotine

the problem is nicotine is very very

very addictive

so when someone stops taking nicotine

what happens is you have all sorts of

things that happen with the parasitic

nervous system

that thing shuts down you no longer feel

relaxed

you no longer feel sharp you feel

irritated you go through all sorts

withdrawals for about two weeks

or longer so my suggestion

now that you understand what we’re doing

here is

at least switch to the patch or the

vapor

cigarette okay that’s number one number

two to eventually come off nicotine

because even though

it’s it doesn’t have any effects of

causing cancer

it’s just highly addictive and it can

wear out the adrenals and the system

over a period of time

okay because you need more and more it’s

like a drug

there are several things that you can do

to to create this effect

by stimulating the parasympathetic

nervous system okay

one is uh taking adaptogens those are

like ashwagandha certain herbs that

actually

calm the nervous system down and

actually trigger the parasympathetics

potassium is also the mineral that

improves the parasympathetic because

it’s calming that’s why it helps you

sleep

black tea believe it or not helps

stimulate

the parasympathetic also green tea as

well but you’re going to have to

have it decaffeinated b1

vitamin b1 also improves the

parasympathetic nervous system

interesting and walking as far as an

exercise like

calm lots of oxygen low stress exercise

or yoga would be really good to trigger

this system all right

so i just wanted to kind of give you a

background of why people really smoke

they’re trying to get some relief with

stress

but why not just improve this another

way

okay without this stuff right here

because it comes with a package

all right put your comments below and

let me know what you think
