DELHI POLLUTION

Air pollution in Delhi-NCR is showing no signs of easing, as AQI levels keep deteriorating. Exposure to such high pollution levels can cause lung inflammation and lead to serious respiratory health issues.

Here are 5 tips to protect your lungs from toxic air:

Breathing exercises can boost lung strength and function. Techniques such as diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing can improve lung capacity and efficiency.

Drinking plenty of water helps maintain moisture in your throat, and respiratory system and supports your body in flushing out toxins more efficiently.  

A diet packed with antioxidants, like oranges, berries, spinach, and nuts, promotes lung health and helps counteract the effects of pollution. Omega-3 fatty acids can also help reduce inflammation.

Using high-quality air purifiers can greatly enhance indoor air quality. Choose purifiers with HEPA filters, which are highly effective at capturing fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other pollutants.

Use N95 or P100 masks when you need to go outdoors. These masks are specifically designed to filter out fine particles, helping to reduce your exposure to harmful substances in the air.
