MrShortcut invite YOU to quit smoking here at the world's largest personal web site
With special thanks and credit to NCI and NIH for creating this program

Immediately After Quitting

  • Develop a clean, fresh, nonsmoking environment around yourself –at work and at home. Buy yourself flowers–you may be surprised how much you can enjoy their scent now.

  • The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking isn't allowed, such as libraries, museums, theaters, department stores, and churches.

  • Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice (but avoid sodas that contain caffeine).

  • Try to avoid alcohol, coffee, and other beverages that you associate with cigarette smoking.

  • Strike up conversation instead of a match for a cigarette.

  • If you miss the sensation of having a cigarette in your hand, play with something else–a pencil, a paper clip, a marble.

  • If you miss having something in your mouth, try toothpicks or a fake cigarette.

Avoid Temptation

  • Instead of smoking after meals, get up from the table and brush your teeth or go for a walk.

  • If you always smoke while driving, listen to a particularly interesting radio program or your favorite music, or take public transportation for a while, if you can.

  • For the first 1-3 weeks, avoid situations you strongly associate with the pleasurable aspects of smoking, such as watching your favorite TV program, sitting in your favorite chair, or having a cocktail before dinner.

  • Until you are confident of your ability to stay off cigarettes, limit your socializing to healthful, outdoor activities or situations where smoking is not allowed.

  • If you must be in a situation where you'll be tempted to smoke (such as a cocktail or dinner party), try to associate with the nonsmokers there.

  • Try to analyze cigarette ads to understand how they attempt to "sell" you on individual brands.

When You Get the Crazies

  • Keep oral substitutes handy–try carrots, pickles, sunflower seeds, apples, celery, raisins, or sugarless gum instead of a cigarette.

  • Take 10 deep breaths and hold the last one while lighting a match. Exhale slowly and blow out the match. Pretend it's a cigarette and crush it out in an ashtray.

  • Take a shower or bath when it's convenient, usually not when driving or operating heavy machinery.

  • Learn to relax quickly and deeply. For those who are not familiari with the extraordinary power of relaxation to engage more than a dozen different systems within your body, you're in for more than a small treat. In the next few days you need only practice the one task of relaxing instantly with one long deep breath to see fast and measurable differences in your efforts.

    Make yourself limp, visualize a soothing, pleasing situation, and get away from it all for a moment. Concentrate on that peaceful image and nothing else.

  • Light incense or a candle instead of a cigarette.

  • Never allow yourself to think that "one won't hurt"–it will.

Find New Habits - They are a great distraction from bad habits

  • Change your habits to make smoking difficult, impossible or unnecessary. For example, it's hard to smoke while you're swimming, jogging, or playing tennis or handball. When your desire for a cigarette is intense, wash your hands or the dishes, or try new recipes.

  • Do things that require you to use your hands. Try crossword puzzles, needlework, gardening, or household chores. Go bike riding or take the dog for a walk; give yourself a manicure; write letters.

  • Enjoy having a clean mouth taste and maintain it by brushing your teeth frequently and using a mouthwash.

  • Stretch a lot.

  • Get plenty of rest.

  • Pay attention to your appearance. Look and feel sharp.

  • Try to find time for the activities that are the most meaningful, satisfying, and important to you.

Gaining Weight When Giving Up Smoking

Many people who are considering quitting are very concerned about gaining weight. If you are concerned about weight gain, keep these points in mind:
  • Just because you quit smoking does NOT automatically mean you'll automatically gain weight. When people gain it's because they often eat more once they quit.

  • The benefits of giving up cigarettes far outweigh the drawbacks of adding a few pounds. You'd have to gain a very large amount of weight to offset the many substantial health benefits that a normal smoker gains by quitting. Watch what you eat, and if you are concerned about gaining weight, consider the tips that follow.

Mister-Shortcut reminds you that, as with EVERY facet of the Handbook Of A Good Life
Handbook Of A Good Life,
knowing something is meaningless untill it is acted upon

Some Tips On Avoiding Weight Gain When Making The Decision To Quit Smoking Permanently

  • Make sure you have a well balanced diet, with the proper amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fat.

  • Don't set a target date for a holiday, when the temptation of high calorie food and drinks may be too hard to resist.

  • Drink a glass of water before your meals.

  • Weigh yourself weekly. Small weight gains are infinitely easier to take off, so it pays to be aware of even small changes.

  • Chew sugarless gum when you want sweet foods.

  • Plan menus carefully, and count calories. Don't try to lose weight–just try to maintain your pre-quitting weight.

  • Have low calorie foods on hand for nibbling. Use the Snack Calorie Chart to choose foods that are both nutritious and low in calories. Some good choices are fresh fruits and vegetables, fruit and vegetable juices, low-fat cottage cheese, and air-popped popcorn without butter.

  • Take time for daily exercise, or join an organized exercise group.

The world owes great thanks to Paul Newman, actor, businessman, philanthropist extraordinaire,
and certainly a master of shortcuts, who patiently and honorably earned, with "Newman's Own,"
over hundreds of millions of dollars in his years... and used it all to feed people.

Enjoy and engage the healthiest website I have seen today,
compliments of Dr. David Cohen, one of the world's top doctors in naturopathic medicine and lecturer.

The Handbook Of A Good Life is thoroughly focused on healing naturally with a broad range of interest in naturopathic devices including biofeedback, such as the Bodyscan, SpectraVision, QXCI and others; and natural supplements, natural vitamins, and natural minerals and herbs that help us to heal ourselves naturally. In particular we seek and recommend, the best of the best in weight management, cardiac managment, natural pain relief therapies and homepathic remedies.

Welcome to the largest naturopathic website in the world,
with The Godfather of Shortcuts and EyeCandy,  MisterShortcut.

As Chief Cheerleader of the YOU fan club, MisterShortcut Presents
the Handbook Of A Good Life




We welcome you to the world's largest naturopathic website, aiming to make it the healthiest website.   That's your call.
Filled with the best health tips of people who live stronger for longer,
The Healthier Way of Health is designed for your life,
with the understanding that you will make use of its wisdom,
that you'll enjoy the fruits of its successful experience,
and then have the decency to pass it to those who need it.
There is always someone worse off than us, individually and otherwise.
Without exception, each time you considerately think of them, or act for them,
the universe and all of its laws gives you the positively sumptious guarantee of return.
You already know that anything we do has equal and opposite reaction.
What might distract you into thinking that this fact is immune?
The rules of life that hold true most of all, all PowerGems,
apply to all we survey. Faith and science combined.

Crafted by your Godfather of EyeCandy,
The Handbook Of A Good Life is fantastically vast
Tap any keyboard letter, number or character (even upper-case!) for another Mr-Shortcut website of EyeCandy and self-empowerment



The Godfather of Shortcuts actually created for your development more than a thousand different websites,
including the Handbook Of A Good Life,
filled with your best health tips for living stronger for longer... naturally
It is indeed a wise person who understands and appreciates

that no vitamin or human or even surgery can cure or heal us:
they can only help us to help ourselves; help us to heal ourselves.
The sooner you take control of the decisions affecting your health,
both how long you live and how well you live, the sooner you win.
You win the game of life by living well. Keep things simple.
With hundreds of thousands of dead patients every year,
the only person willing to claim that medicine works,
is the individual who has an interest in saying so.
That's tough for you to accept. We understand.
Your IQ is what, 80, 90, 100 or thereabouts?
The Handbook Of A Good Life is different.
Based on the findings of smart folks,
people with IQ's above 150 - 180.
Stop feeling insulted by this;
call it a quirk of birth.
Fact is, those who do better
are the people who know better.
By tapping into what THEY know better,
you multiply the chances of YOU living better,
living stronger for longer with more robust health.
You think you know more than Paul Newman, saintly human?
Forget the thousands of charities this amazing man has given to.
Just consider his announcement just after his eightieth happy birthday:
"As of next year, I will no longer compete in professional car racing anymore."
Whew! Do you even understand the physical requirements of professional car racing?
Never mind the mental demands; the physical demands alone are beyond what you do daily.
So, when someone like Paul Newman speaks about being so strong and healthy after eight decades,
does it not make sense for the rest of us to hush up and listen to the wisdom coming from a wise man?


We'll let YOU decide who's the top doctor in America, naturopathic or otherwise.




Between ninety-five and one hundred percent of all males will, at some point or another,
experience enlargement of the prostate gland. It is hard to escape gravity, frankly.
Saw palmetto works almost instantly for roughly seventy percent of all men.
Your best health tip is to make sure it is CONCENTRATED saw palmetto.
Betasitesterol works for approximately eighty percent of all males.
Using these two relatively inexpensive, perfectly safe remedies,
you'll heal yourself naturally at a tiny percent of the Rx cost.
Why are many using approaches with horrible side effects?

Used together, saw palmetto and betasitosterol,
both of which are natural and inexpensive,
provides relief for about 100% of all men.
Think twice before you go to an M.D.
The good ones have little money,
the bad ones collect plenty.
They're better at money
than at good healing.
So, heal yourself.
Do it naturally.


Top doctors are those who use natural healing methods and medicines
before turning to toxic pharmaceutical approaches.
When we learn how to be our own top doctors, we will ALL live stronger for longer
