Soaring pollution levels are killing us.
Even though many people make it a point to eat right and exercise regularly, there is no escaping the damage pollution is causing.
A report in the Daily Mail outlines 10 ways you can protect yourself against harmful toxins in the air.
1.Use apps to know where the high pollutant routes are
Pollution levels change like the weather. With the help of an app know which areas are more harmful and unsafe.
2. Walk
You may think being inside your car you are safe from all that pollution in the air. But that is not true. Experts reveal the levels can be five times higher as the heater in your car draws in the exhaust fumes which can be harmful.
3.Go the vegetarian way
Meat can contain many products to preserve it, which can be harmful to your body. Also, the meat will contain pollutants exposed to the animal.
4.Organ food
These types of foods contain less pollutant than most other products.
5.Consume green tea
Food rich in antioxidant help stop the damage in the body caused by toxins.
6.Investigate the damage indoors
Indoor pollution can cause just as much damage. This is because the home may have humidity and poor ventilation or even radon. Radon is a gas which happens to be radioactive and is colourless, odourless and tasteless.
7.Clear the air
Open the windows to let the air circulate around the house. Just 15 minutes can make a huge difference.
8.Natural cleaning products
Create you own cleaning products to avoid toxins. Vinegar, baking soda and lemon are some useful products you can use around the house. Another option is purchasing organic cleaning products.
9.Take care of your skin
Pollution can be harsh on the skin. Cleansing your face every day is important as pollution and dirt clings to your skin. Face masks and antipollution skincare are also good products to use to replenish your skin.
