New Delhi: Is there anything more important in this world than breathing well? Delhi and adjoining areas are currently covered with thick clouds of haze and haze. The Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached the alarming “severe” level and has been recorded in Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad.
However, don’t be upset. We’ve got your cover. Here are some tips for you to breathe better during this time.
take a steam
Steaming can be beneficial when it comes to ridding your lungs of toxins. This is because it opens up the air passages which helps the lungs to remove excess mucus. Take steam therapy daily and keep your lungs healthy
Sip on Some Green Tea
Green tea contains powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation in your lungs. Meanwhile, other compounds present in the tea may protect the delicate tissues of the organ. It has been proven that people who drink at least two cups of green tea daily have better lung function.
breathing exercises
Breathing exercises like pranayama can efficiently remove all the pollutants from your lungs. To do this exercise, sit down with legs bent, back straight and eyes closed. Now while keeping the lips closed, take a deep breath through your nose and expand the stomach as much as possible. Exhale slowly through the nose and repeat this exercise.
air purifier
Bring an air purifier to your homes and it will clean the air in your room. Choose the option with a HEPA filter as it has four layers of filtering. Make sure it gives you real-time air quality before you buy.
wear a mask
Several cases of shortness of breath have been reported in the past few days. Thus, it becomes imperative that you are wearing an N95 mask while going out.
