Simple Ways To Protect Yourself From Air Pollution

Beat Air Pollution

Winter is here, and so is the unsettling smog that envelopes India’s major cities. Here are 5 ways to protect yourself and your family from the toxic air this season.

Stay Alert

There are several mobile apps that will give you air pollution updates on the basis of your location and the time of the day. Be aware of the pollution levels in your city and follow all advisory alerts issued by the government.

Take A Green Turn

One of the best and most effective ways to combat the increasing toxicity levels in the air is by cultivating a variety of indoor plants such as aloe vera, snake plant, bamboo palm, areca palm, etc. Join your local community and participate in tree planting drives in your neighbourhood.

Use A Mask

High-quality face masks, preferably those that come with N 90 or N 95 certification should be used when heading outdoors. These masks are capable of filtering out 90 to 95 per cent of pollutants when worn properly.

Eat Healthy

One great way of cutting down the risk of air pollution is to switch to a diet rich in nutrients that will help boost your immunity. Whole grains, eggs, fish, carrots, fruits, and vegetables provide the minerals and vitamins that help protect your respiratory tract and lungs.

Try Home Remedies

Indulge in home-made remedies that will help you revive your respiratory functions and fight the toxic effects of air pollution. Sip on herbal ginger and tulsi teas or take a steam with a few drops of eucalyptus oil before heading to bed.
