Not only will the nutrients which are going to strengthen your body become blocked, but your breathing will become labored as well.  The more that you smoke, the more deadened the tissue in your lungs will become.  It will be harder and harder for you to inhale properly and when you do take a breath, you will not be able to absorb the full levels of oxygen from it.  That reduced oxygen intake will lower your ability for running, swimming, heavy lifting, and even with concentration.

Navy SEALs become strong and active based on the nutrients which they are putting into their bodies. Vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates will all combine to give your body the strength it needs to go through Navy SEAL training and refine you into a SEAL-worthy candidate. You’ll be able to absorb these essential nutrients based on the diet that you develop, although you’ll need to be careful. For as many positive food that you can eat, there are just as many negative effects that certain foods could give you. Caffeine is one of these elements.
