Are You Wearing Your Mask Too Long?

let’s talk about the chronic wearing of masks okay now I can see wearing a mask in a condensed area especially if someone’s coughing on you and things like that but a lot of times when I go out for long walks in in an area where it’s wooded I’m seeing people are just wearing the mask and they’re by themselves I see people driving their car by themselves and they’re wearing a mask so I want to just talk about if that’s a good thing or a bad thing so here’s some things I want to talk about relating to the mask a mask will restrict the air flow to your lungs okay and depending on what type of mask that you’re wearing will determine how much air is getting through the mask will stress the respiratory muscles okay around the lung especially if you are wearing the mask for a long period of time now the mask you probably saw me wearing in the in the thumbnail looks like this is part of a hypoxic training program where I’m purposely restricting air flow to my lungs intermittently for maybe like two minutes while I’m exercising and breathing hard and then I’ll take it off back and forth so I’m creating a stress it’s called a hermetic effect where you’re adding stress and letting your body recover so you can then build up the muscles around the loan so I know this is different because you’re doing exercise and of course people wearing the masks are not necessarily exercising but sometimes they are as well so the point I’m trying to make is that if someone is fragile and they’re older and they’re wearing a mask 24/7 that may be a problem because you’re adding more stress to an area of their body that is already weakened and they’re probably already susceptible and vulnerable to getting that virus the point is when you’re in the car by yourself or you’re outside not around people you need to take that mask off and actually just let air go in unless you’re healthy and you’re trying to get in shape but definitely you want to go back and forth if you want to take it off and you want to put it back on but the fact is if you put something over your mouth obstructing the air you’re going to reduce oxygen into the lungs okay so that’s all I’m saying there’s different types of masks that give you different filtration okay you have the n95 medical mask gives you 95 percent of filtration with the pores being point three microns so it’s pretty small that’s not a hundred percent but 95 percent is pretty good a regular surgical mask will provide between 60 to 80 percent filtration if you take a 600 thread-count pillowcase and you have four layers that will give you about 60% filtration then you have those bandanas 100% cotton bandana four layers will only give you about 19. 5% particle filtration so the best standard number you’re looking for is a point three micron now the size of the virus is point one micron now you’re saying well wait a second this virus can squeeze through this hole pretty easily because this is three times the size true but the more filtration you have the less air you’re going to get through the less you’re going to be able to breathe so there’s a toss-up between getting enough oxygen and filtering out a virus so you can pretty much put a plastic bag over your head and get a hundred percent but of course you’re not going to be able to survive that long so there’s some other factors involved one is this the virus itself usually is traveling on a droplet especially if someone is sneezing coughing breathing or talking to you so the size of the droplet okay is much bigger than the virus because a droplet is composed of fluid some protein salts other minerals electrolytes and even microbes so you have a lot of things kind of like a little fluid gel that’s being projected in the air so now the viruses are entrapped in this larger amount of fluid they’re going to be filtered out from the mask there’s always a chance that you’re gonna get some of those viruses that are gonna get through right but here’s the thing you have also the variable of your susceptibility to the virus how healthy your immune system is and the viral load or the concentration of viruses so if there’s just a little bit of viral particles that are getting in your body and you have a strong immune system you’re going to be able to handle that with no problem so the sicker you are and the higher the viral load the more you need to worry about your mask but if you’re healthy and you’re just not being around people that are sneezing or coughing your face and you get exposed to some viruses in the virus load is low your immune system will deal with it you might have some very very mild symptoms so there’s a relationship between the severity of the infection and this right here the viral load I think the worst case scenario is if you’re a doctor or nurse working in a hospital and you’re around the concentration of viruses then you have the velocity of someone else maybe spreading some viruses on you so you have the sneeze which could potentially project between seven and eight meters that’s 23 to 26 feet okay depending on how strong that sneeze is or someone’s coughing on you that’s between 5 to 6 meters 19 feet it’s pretty strong cough or if they’re breathing on you we’re only talking about 2 meters about 7 feet now this is the distance that it could potentially travel of course the greater the distance the less the viral concentration but then we have the droplet particles okay so if someone sneezing roughly could be around 40,000 droplets okay versus someone coughing on you that’s 3,000 droplets or someone that’s talking to you for about 30 minutes that could total about 3,000 droplets so you can see the concentration down here the viral load is going to be a lot smaller than someone sneezing on you so the reason I’m talking about this is just to show you the different variables of velocity your own susceptibility the viral load the filtration and the time that you wear the mask if you are weak and you have a poor immune system especially if your chronic smoker or you have COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma you shouldn’t be wearing this mask all day long anyway that’s my thoughts and now I’m wanna hear your thoughts tell me what you think about this topic and link down below we’re back with another amazing recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering on keto absolutely not Karen and it’s an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out I think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy to be keto but is it simple it’s super simple we hope you enjoy making it as much as we are enjoying eating it
