walking in pollution
Pollution has once again increased the problems of people in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida and Gurgaon. Toxic particles spread in the air are making the lungs sick. It is becoming difficult to breathe due to pollution. In such a situation, the incidence of many diseases has also started increasing. If you want to avoid the effects of pollution, then do some exercise every day. Walk or keep yourself fit through yoga. However, amidst the increasing pollution, it is difficult to understand at what time one should go for a walk. Is it beneficial to walk in the morning amid pollution or should one walk in the evening? Let us know what is the right time to walk in pollution?
Increasing pollution has created problems for those who resort to walking for fitness. Questions start coming in people’s mind that what is the right time to take a walk? What time should one go for a walk in the morning or evening, so that the impact of pollution is minimal?
Is it good to walk in the morning?
Air quality is worst in winter and especially during this time of pollution. At this time i.e. in the months of November and December, the air condition in Delhi NCR is highest in the morning. These days, the air quality in Delhi is worst in the morning. According to health experts, the effect of fog and smog in winter is maximum in the morning, hence you should avoid walking in the open at this time. It is not advisable to take a walk in the morning to avoid inhaling toxic air into the lungs.
Is it okay to walk in the evening?
You can go for a walk in the evening. Because due to sunlight during the day, air pollution may reduce slightly. However, pollution increases suddenly during evening traffic. Therefore, it would be better that you complete your walk before the end of the day i.e. before sunset. As soon as the sunset, the temperature starts falling and the pollution level starts increasing again. Therefore, even walking late in the evening can harm you.
What time should one take a walk in the morning or evening in pollution?
According to health experts, you should not go for a walk in the open amid increasing pollution. Walking in pollution either in the morning or evening is not good for health. If you are going for a walk, then go out only after checking the air quality i.e. AQI. Where AQI level is above 200, it is advised not to walk outside the house in the open. It would be better if you do some exercise indoors.
If you are going for a walk and the pollution is high then you can wear a face mask for some time and go for a walk. With this you can avoid pollution to some extent. However, during pollution days, you should find an option to do some exercise at home. You can do exercises like stretching, yoga or aerobics indoors.
