AQI overload? Expert tips to stay healthy in Delhi's extreme smog season

Hindustan Times  

Delhi-NCR has been gasping for breath having clocked a whopping 494 on the Air Quality Index earlier this week. Citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, nuts, seeds, spinach, avocado, orange and yellow vegetables — such as carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkin — and dark leafy greens are some food items you should include in your diet.” “Drinking green tea or herbal teas like turmeric or ginger tea may assist in detoxifying the liver. Supplements like activated charcoal or chlorella can also help eliminate toxins, but these should only be taken after consulting a health care professional,” notes Dr Drishya Ale, dietitian at Paras Health. She also suggests practising various breathing exercises at home, such as “belly or abdominal breathing, pursed-lip breathing and equal breathing” to ensure optimal lung functioning. Dr Kawatra suggests, “For those who want a decent cardio session without going outside, consider jumping jacks, jump rope, high knees, and stair climbing.” He also advises combining light cardio with strength-training activities “like dumbbell and resistance band exercises”, to make the most of your time inside.
