Drinking 8–10 glasses of water a day helps in removing toxins from the body.

Eat fruits containing Vitamin C: Lemon, orange, guava, amla and tomato strengthen the lungs and increase immunity.

Include green leafy vegetables: Vegetables like spinach, fenugreek, mustard greens and broccoli are rich in antioxidants.

Avoid going out during peak hours: especially in the morning and evening, when PM levels in the air are higher.
Plant plants in the house: Plants like money plant, snake plant and aloe vera help in purifying the air.
