Today let’s talk about the chronic wearing of a mask. I understand wearing a mask in very busy areas—especially if someone is coughing nearby. But, I’ve seen people wearing masks when they’re in there car alone or when they’re outside with hardly anyone around. Is this good or bad?

A mask can restrict the airflow to your lungs. Depending on what type of mask you’re wearing, this will determine how much air is getting through. A mask can stress the respiratory muscles around the lungs—especially if you’re wearing the mask for a long period of time.

The mask I have on in the thumbnail of this video is apart of a hypoxic training program. I use it to purposely restrict airflow to the lungs intermittently during exercise. This creates stress and lets the body recover to build up the muscles around the lungs.

If someone is fragile and older, and they’re wearing a mask all of the time. That could be a problem because it’s adding more stress to an area of the body that’s already weakened. When you’re alone or outside, not around people, it may be best to take the mask off. Even if you’re trying to get into shape, you would want to wear the mask intermittently.

If you put something over your mouth, obstructing the air, you’re going to reduce oxygen into the lungs.

While different variables go into whether or not the virus can get through the mask, you also have to think about your susceptibility, how healthy your immune system is, and the viral load. If there is a small number of viral particles getting into your body, but you have a strong immune system, your body should be able to handle that.
