Dense winter fog in Delhi NCR often worsens breathing problems. Pollution particles get trapped in fog, affecting lung health and triggering cough, asthma, and chest congestion. While masks help outdoors, nutrition plays a crucial role in protecting your lungs from within.
Certain foods help cleanse the respiratory system. Jaggery, honey, tulsi, ginger, and garlic act as natural lung detoxifiers. Warm soups made with vegetables and lentils soothe the throat and reduce irritation caused by polluted air.
Omega-3 rich foods such as walnuts and flaxseeds help reduce inflammation in airways. Antioxidants from green leafy vegetables, beetroot, and citrus fruits repair damage caused by pollution exposure.
Warm beverages are especially effective during foggy mornings. Tulsi-ginger tea, turmeric milk, and steam inhalation combined with a nutrient-rich diet can significantly reduce respiratory discomfort.
Avoid cold drinks, ice cream, and excessive refined sugar during this season. These increase phlegm production and worsen breathing issues.
At Zenith Diet Clinic, we design diet plans that support respiratory health, especially for people living in high-pollution areas like Delhi NCR. With expert guidance from Dt. Priya Mittal, you can breathe easier—even during heavy fog days.
