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.

Along with the video, she also shared a step-by-step guide on how to prepare the immunity-boosting drink.

"Winters are here and so is the pollution, but don't let that take a toll on your health! This easy ginger, orange, and amla cube is packed with anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting goodness," she wrote.

Here's how to make the anti-inflammatory immunity-boosting shot, as suggested by the nutritionist:

  • Step 1: Take one big piece of ginger. Wash it and cut it into small chunks.
  • Step 2: Peel one orange and three to four amlas and cut them into pieces. Don't to remove the amla seeds.
  • Step 3: Add all three of them to a blender and add a little amount of water to it just to "immerse the ingredients."
  • Step 4. Blend all the ingredients well. Strain and pour the liquid into an ice tray.
  • Step 5: Free the cubes and use one every day.

To use it, you will have to put a cube into a cup or glass and add hot water to it. Mix it well and sip for a "quick health boost."

"It's the easiest way to fight inflammation and support your immunity on busy days. Prep once and enjoy all week," Nagpal concluded.
