"Ginger contains gingerol, which reduces inflammation and clears respiratory pathways."
Having a warm cup of tea in winter can significantly improve our mood and give us energy. Some chai lovers can't even get out of their beds in the morning before taking a few sips of their bed tea. While excessive consumption of this beverage may be harmful to one's health, experts claim that consuming tea in moderation, even on a daily basis, doesn't spell any real danger. Some special tea mixes can even improve your health and boost your lung immunity. In a video shared on Instagram, content creator Ancient Digin shared her special ginger and licorice tea recipe and claimed it to be a soothing drink that helps repair and nourish your lungs after a cough, cold, or flu. Here is the full recipe.

Friday December 20, 2024While some may argue that people in Delhi are now more aware of air pollution than they were a decade back, my rebuttal would be that awareness does not mean that people are concerned.

Friday November 08, 2024हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
