While policymakers seek long-term solutions, experts like dietitian Priyanka Shah highlight that individuals can mitigate pollution's internal damage through diet and lifestyle. Shah explains that pollution causes chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, affecting multiple body systems beyond the lungs, including the heart, immune system, and mental well-being.
