When it’s smoggy outside, it’s best to stay indoors and use an air purifier to get cleaner, fresher air. And, certainly, smoking indoors is a no-no because it affects not just you but also your loved ones.
If you have to travel through a congested area, try to avoid it and take another route, which may take longer but will be cleaner.
Pay attention to places and times of day where air quality affects you the most.
It’s nice to be a good Samaritan by strolling on the sidewalks, but it’s much better if you can walk away from all the automobiles on the road. After all, you don’t want to inhale all that smog.
Make sure that the air in your home is free of smoke, dust and chemical fumes. To enhance the air quality in your home, try using a moist rag instead of a feather duster when dusting.
Learn to listen and understand your own reactions amid bad weather–and when you need to adjust your plans.
You can take care of your heart by caring for the environment by adopting simple measures like planting more trees at your place, walking instead of using your car all the time and using public transportation if need be.
