4. Vitamin C: Include foods that are rich in Vitamin C in your diet to help you boost your immunity and beat the ill effects of smog.

Arvind Chabra, Country Head, Blueair India, says that it is essential to identify the Invisible dangers of breathing polluted air. "Outdoor pollution that sweeps in along with the combination of existing indoor pollutants can be more dangerous and worse than outdoor. Many studies in the past confirmed that indoor air can be five times or more polluted than outside," he told IANS. "Given that indoors (home or workplace) is where we spend nearly 90 percent of our time, One should take proactive steps to address airborne pollutants and create safer indoor," added Chabra.
