walking in pollution
Pollution has once again increased the problems of the population in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida and Gurgaon. Toxic particles spread in the air make the lungs sick. It is increasingly difficult to breathe due to pollution. In this situation, the incidence of many diseases has also begun to increase. If you want to avoid the effects of pollution, do some exercise every day. Walk or stay fit through yoga. However, in the midst of increasing pollution, it is difficult to understand what time is best to go out for a walk. Is it beneficial to walk in the morning amidst pollution or should you walk at night? Please let us know what is the right time to walk in pollution?
Rising pollution has created problems for those who resort to walking to stay fit. Questions are starting to arise in people’s minds: when is the right time to walk? At what time should you go for a walk, in the morning or at night, so that the impact of pollution is minimal?
Is it good to walk in the morning?
Air quality is worse in winter and especially during this time of pollution. At this time, i.e. in the months of November and December, the air conditions in Delhi NCR are highest in the morning. Nowadays, 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, so it is best to avoid walking outdoors at this time. It is not advisable to go for a walk in the morning to avoid inhaling toxic air into your lungs.
Is it okay to walk at night?
You can go for a walk at night. Because due to sunlight during the day, air pollution can be slightly reduced. However, pollution suddenly increases during night traffic. Therefore, it would be better if you complete your trek before the day ends, that is, before sunset. As soon as the sun sets, the temperature starts to drop and the pollution level starts to rise again. Therefore, even walking late at night can be harmful.
What time should you take a walk in the morning or evening in the middle of pollution?
According to health experts, it is not advisable to go for a walk outdoors amid increasing pollution. Walking in polluted places, whether in the morning or at night, is not good for your health. If you are going for a walk, go out only after checking the air quality i.e. AQI. When the AQI level is above 200, it is recommended not to leave the house outdoors. It would be better if you did some exercise indoors.
If you are going for a walk and the pollution is high, then you can wear a mask for a while and go for a walk. With this you can avoid contamination to a certain extent. However, during pollution days, it is advisable to look for the option of doing some exercise at home. You can do exercises like stretching, yoga, or aerobics indoors.
