Digital Desk: People with low immunity, children, elderly, and even others are susceptible to health problems caused by toxic air and one must do their best to avoid them. Switching on those air purifiers, taking steam, eating nutritious foods, sleeping well are some of the general health measures one can adopt for overall well-being amid pollution.

Here are four superfood which are rich in minerals that you should add to your diet for weight loss

Broccoli

Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, pak choy, and cabbage are first on the list because they contain a chemical called sulforaphane, which aids in the elimination of benzene from the body, and benzene is one of the most harmful air pollutants. They are also high in Vitamin C and beta carotene, which help enhance your immunity.

Flaxseed

They are abundant in phytoestrogen chemicals and omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown in tests to help lessen allergic reactions in asthma sufferers and so reduce the effect of smog. Every day, consume two soaking table spoons.

Amla

Amla is the next and most prominent warrior on the list. It is high in Vitamin C and protects against cellular damage and environmental pollutants. Every day, add an amla to a glass of vegetable juice.

Turmeric

The final active component in turmeric is curcumin. Experts recommend taking a 500 mg curcumin pill instead of just adding haldi to your milk or water. Of course, you can, but a high dose is required for anti-inflammatory effects and to avoid infections in your lungs.
