Check Air Quality Levels
You can easily check the quality of the air quality in your area by looking it up on the internet. If you notice that particulate matter is especially high on a certain day, try to avoid spending prolonged periods of time outside. In addition to this, it’s a good idea to avoid pollutant-centric activities like driving or using your fireplace.
Avoid Excessive Outdoor Activity in the Heat
Did you know that air quality is the lowest when the temperatures are the highest? Try to avoid working out or spending a ton of time outside during the middle periods of hot days. If you are spending time outside during these times, make sure to listen to your body if you feel overheated or your eyes begin to itch.
Eat Antioxidants
A healthy diet can play a positive role in your ability to fight off dangerous chemicals. Try to eat antioxidant-rich foods such as kale, tomatoes and cherries.
