These include cancer, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart attack, stroke, cataracts, and many other diseases. Key physiological changes occur shortly after quitting. According to the National Institute of Health, these changes occur as soon as one quits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heart rate drops to normal 20 minutes after quitting<\/li>\n<li>Carbon monoxide levels return to normal 12 hours after quitting<\/li>\n<li>Heart attack risk starts to drop and lung function improves 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these changes, one\u2019s energy increases dramatically and the quality of one\u2019s sleep also improves.<\/p>\n<h2>Helping your Loved One Quit<\/h2>\n<p>A government-sponsored website&#8211;Smokefree 60+&#8211;is designed with seniors in mind and contains a wealth of information for both caregivers and those ready to <a href=\"https:\/\/60plus.smokefree.gov\/quit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quit smoking<\/a>. An online plan of attack is available as well as recommendations for exercise, healthy eating, handling depression and recommended lifestyle changes. Tools and medications are recommended when dealing with withdrawal symptoms. In addition, they offer online support, including a quitline and online counselors.<\/p>\n<p>A family caregiver plays a key role in helping their parents quit. Suggestions include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep items in their home that can act as a substitute. This may include celery and carrots with dip, hard sugar-free candies, and gum.<\/li>\n<li>Find ways to keep them busy and active so that their mind wanders less to what they are<br \/>\nmissing and more to what they are enjoying.<\/li>\n<li>Celebrate their milestones.<\/li>\n<li>Keep them out of environments where others are smoking and let anyone know that comes to visit them that smoking is not allowed.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain a positive attitude even if they stumble.<\/li>\n<li>Make an appointment with their primary health care provider if the withdrawal stage proves too difficult to navigate. Patches or other medicinal support may be warranted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Home Care Provider<\/h3>\n<p>If you feel that your loved one could use more support than you and your family can presently provide, consider obtaining the services of a home care provider. They can help distract your parent\u2014keeping them active and engaged\u2014as well as prepare healthy meals and accompany them on daily walks. Before you know it, your parent will be living a smoke-free life and enjoying the many benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you or an aging loved one are considering <a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/38\/texas\/prestonhollow\/services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caregivers in Dallas, TX<\/a>, please contact the caring staff at Assisting Hands of Preston Hollow today at <a href=\"tel:(214) 760-6944\">(214) 760-6944<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caregivers in Irving TX: Your parent has probably been smoking for quite some time.
