  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 tablespoons of cashews (optional, for a true ‘cheesecake’ flavor)

Not so fond of raspberries? Replace them with any berry you like such as strawberries, blueberries or blackberries.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.
