Due to increasing air pollution in many areas of Delhi NCR, the Air Quality Index (AQI) has crossed 300. Due to this, Delhi has become a gas chamber of pollution. Due to increasing pollution, people living here have started having irritation in the eyes, sore throat and other health problems. Due to this, pregnant women, newborns and children are facing more problems. Sometimes the situation becomes so bad that abortion can happen.

According to health experts, pregnant women and common people should take several measures to avoid the ever-increasing pollution. The situation in Delhi is getting worse at this time. It is completely filled with smog and smoke. Liquid particles have also mixed with the smoke, which is even more harmful. At this time the AQI has crossed 300 to 400, and pregnant women need special care.

Ways to avoid bad air quality

Increasing pollution can affect the babies growing in the womb. During this time, the risk of miscarriage increases in pregnant women and the possibility of congenital malformations in children also increases. It also harms newborn babies which can cause infections and respiratory problems. When the pollution level goes above 100, pregnant women should stay indoors and avoid going out. If going out is necessary, they should wear an N95 mask. It is very important to use an air purifier while staying indoors. If an air purifier is not available, some natural air purifiers like money plant, spider plant and snake plant should be planted in the house.

Pregnant women should include these things in their diet

It is also important to have a balanced and healthy diet. Pregnant women should include foods of four colors in their diet - white (curd, milk), orange (oranges, carrots), red (tomatoes), green (green vegetables) etc. This will increase your immunity. Including antioxidants like turmeric and garlic in your diet will protect them from pollution. If pregnant women follow these measures, it will definitely have a positive effect on their children.
