A Surprising Way to Beat Smoking

Eating your fruits and vegetables (at least four servings
a day) may have an unexpected benefit: It makes you
more likely to succeed if you try to quit smoking,
according to a University at Buffalo study. Researchers
suspect that produce's stomach-filling high fiber and water
content delay the onset of hunger- and since hunger is
triggered by hormones similar to those that spark
nicotine cravings, it's often mistaken for the urge to smoke.
