Vitamin D is also very important for the human body. When smog prevents people from basking in the sun, how to get enough vitamin D becomes the key. In cod liver oil, there is the vitamin D the body needs, for example, from fish like salmon or tuna, which can supplement the body's requirements.

Actually, besides "eating" the smog away, there are many other things in life that can help defend against it. Hurry and learn these tips!
1. Wash your hands frequently
Since we were little, our parents taught us that washing our hands frequently is correct. Especially after coming home from outside, when your hands are contaminated with external pollutants, you should wash them clean as soon as possible.
2. Ventilate by opening windows
Because of the smog, many people are afraid to open windows to ventilate on such days. However, staying in a sealed space for a long time is even more uncomfortable. You might try cracking open a window slightly at noon for some fresh air.
3. Drink more water
No matter what illness you have, doctors will always tell you to drink more water. Facing smog is no exception. Drinking more water can speed up the body's metabolism and expel waste from the body more quickly.
4. Smoke less
The air quality is already poor, and smoking is like adding fuel to the fire. Furthermore, many people feel discomfort in their throat after smoking, with a dry cough and phlegm. PM2.5 enters the lungs through breathing, and smoking further damages the throat, so this double harm is even more detrimental to the body.
