Haze in Singapore, Keep Yourself Healthy!

Known lately, the PSI in singapore is getting  higher and higher. Even though for today the PSI has decreased, please do look out for your own health and safety too! Here are some tips taken from websites on how to keep healthy in this period. :D Inform people around you, as well as your parents!
Ways to protect yourself from the haze
Take the following steps to protect yourself from the haze in Singapore:
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a mask when you go out – make sure you get a mask that can catch tiny particles below 0.3 microns.
  • Keep the doors and windows of your home closed.
  • Roll up the windows of your car if you are driving.
  • Use an air-conditioner in your home to help remove pollutants.
  • Use an air ionizer or air purifier to catch very small particles.
  • Drink more water than usual – this helps the kidneys flush out any toxins absorbed through the skin and lungs.
  • Cut down on coffee and alcohol – these promote fluid loss and leach nutrients from the body.
  • Build up your immunity with foods rich in vitamin C (oranges, guava, strawberries), vitamin E (nuts and seeds) and omega-3 fatty acids (oily fish).
