How to Eliminate Nicotine From the Body

A nicotine addiction is one of the hardest habits to break. Allowing nicotine to enter your body--whether through cigarettes or smokeless tobacco--is one of the most unhealthy things you can do to your body. Nicotine doesn't take a long time to exit your body once you quit using tobacco, but the longer it is in your body, the more difficult it is to resist the urge to smoke. There are several things you can do to speed up the nicotine elimination process and begin your successful journey to quitting.

Drink lots of orange juice. The acidity of the juice will add acidity to your urine, clearing nicotine from your body faster, according to CiggyFree.com.

2

Fast for about 24 hours, only eating crackers and drinking orange juice, according to St. Theodore's Hospital. Your body's cleansing agents will give nicotine elimination their undivided attention if you aren't putting all sorts of foods into your body.

Incorporate a diet rich in fruit after the fasting period and exercise regularly. Diet and exercise are the beginning catalysts in the quitting process. These will help cleanse your system, removing nicotine in no time, according to SelfGrowth.com.
