Try This Immunity Boosting Shot Recipe By Nutritionist To Reverse Air Pollution Effects On Body

With the onset of the winter season, the national capital along with several other cities in North India is yet again witnessing a spike in pollution levels, with the air quality index (AQI) being recorded in 'very poor' and 'severe' categories. Exposure to poor air quality for longer durations could pose serious long-term health problems, especially respiratory diseases, to people across all age groups. Not just the children and senior citizens, but even the adults who are moving out on a daily basis for office work are at high risk of several health issues.

Nutritionist Palak Nagpal recently took to the social media platform Instagram to share a quick recipe of an "anti-inflammatory immunity boosting shot," which could be prepared once and enjoyed throughout the week.

"Recently one of my clients who has a nine to five job asked me what is the easiest way to fight inflammation, ill effects of pollution and to boost immunity," Nagpal said in a video.
