Explanation:

Quitting smoking is one of the best health decisions you can make. In general, the whole organism benefits from the end of this addiction - and the lungs, directly impacted by each lit cigarette, are the first to avail themselves of the suspension. But reversing the "smoker" picture takes time, a lot of time.

Cigarette action is as serious a trigger for the body as its cessation brings quick benefits: Two days after quitting, the body is completely free of nicotine and carbon monoxide. And the nerves, responsible for smell and taste, revive - making food taste better, for example. By three months without tobacco, the lungs begin to improve, the sinuses will be cleaner, and breathing is clearly easier. But this is a crucial moment in the process when many people stop for good and others are tempted to return.

no, because those are both different running competitions. while distance runners train their legs and their lungs to run long amounts of time, the sprinters are training their legs and their lungs to give all they have in the little amount of area they need to cover. the brain also plays a huge part in all of this.

the brain is the only thing in your body that sends messages to your body telling you to run. if you are a long distance runner and you have the mind set of a sprinter, you will not get anywhere. if you have a long distance mind set and you have to run 200m in 20 seconds then you will not make it in time.
