Don’t risk developing smoking-related problems

In this article we take a look back at the benefits of quitting smoking on the Health Canada website.

The Government of Canada has some valuable information and tools to help you live a smoke-free life. Check out the health benefits that begin soon after quitting.

Within:

  • 20 minutes: your blood pressure drops to a level similar to what it was before your last cigarette
  • 8 hours: the level of carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) in your blood drops to normal
  • 24 hours: your risk of having a heart attack starts to drop
  • 2 weeks to 3 months: the airways in your lungs relax and you can get more air into your lungs and breathe easier
  • 1 to 9 months: you cough less and your lungs work even better
  • 1 year: your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a person who smokes
  • 5 years: you have the same chance of having a stroke as someone who has never smoked
  • 10 years: your chance of dying from cancer is much lower
  • 15 years: your risk of coronary heart disease is similar to that of someone who has never smoked

Even those who have developed smoking-related problems like heart disease or cancer can benefit from quitting. Compared to continuing to smoke, people who quit smoking after having a heart attack can reduce their chances of having another heart attack by as much as 50%.

Take charge of your well-being today

Amidst life’s uncertainties, prioritizing your well-being is paramount. Smoking emerges as a significant threat to health, contributing to ailments like lung disease and cancer. Equally detrimental, STRESS!

Stress and worry corrodes the immune system and cardiac health. Studies show that being thankful and happy can reduce stress. Research also shows that 50% of our inclination to be happy is genetic, something you can’t effect very much, 10% is based on surroundings (job, money and family), and 40% is “deliberate action”. Deliberate actions are things we can control through behaviour.

So how can Calgary Laserworks help with your health?

We can help you take deliberate actions! While genetics play a role, deliberate actions wield substantial influence over happiness levels. We’ll help you stop smoking, reduce stress and anxiety, and help you relax, all which can improve your immune system and much, much more.

Discover the pivotal link between health and happiness with Calgary Laserworks.  Give us a shout at 403-301-3730 and embark on a journey towards a healthier, happier you. Your future self will thank you for this proactive step towards holistic wellness.

The calming nature of laser therapy

Discover the transformative power of low level laser therapy in restoring the body’s natural energy flow and alleviating stress and anxiety. This gentle yet effective treatment promotes relaxation by reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. By stimulating the release of endorphins, it fosters a sense of well-being and overall balance.

Targeting specific energy points on the body, such as the ears, hands, arms, wrists, and feet, low level laser treatments effectively dissipate stress and anxiety, leaving you feeling lighter and more at ease. While stress is a common part of life, managing it is crucial for our well-being. When life’s challenges become overwhelming, seeking help is essential. Before stress escalates into chronic conditions, consider the benefits of low level laser therapy.

Don’t let stress dictate your life. Take the first step towards a happier, healthier existence by contacting Calgary Laserworks at 403-301-3730 today. Let us help you reclaim control and embrace a brighter future.
