We have the longest hypo-oxygenation in history due to the use of the mask as a means of protection against Covid-19.
Although masks have been the main barrier to protection against the virus, they have also been an impediment to blood oxygenation and cellular respiration.
Just as the atmosphere weakens as it grows the levels of CO2 and increase the temperature of the Earth, the decrease in oxygen in our body and the re-introduction of part of the carbon dioxide, cause tiredness, chronic fatigue and lack of vitality. In this scenario, the post-Covid recovery becomes more evident throughout this period.
Symptoms of post-mask fatigue: Asthenia or permanent or semi-permanent tiredness, muscle pain in daily activities, afternoon and nocturnal headache that does not subside with common analgesics, decreased mental acuity and memory, lack of appetite, increased body and abdominal fat, lack of sex drive and decreased libido, occasional blurred vision, dizziness when standing up, increased volume of blood viscosity with increased blood cell concentration red blood cells and hemoglobin (height effect), pale face and palms due to peripheral hypo-oxygenation, increased symptoms of rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis, weak immune system with repetitive flu, insomnia, irritability, anxiety and depression.
Oxygen is the main factor for life. Without this element within physiological limits, cellular respiration slows down and energy levels decrease.
How can we improve all this?
On a personal level, we must go out to open places to oxygenate our body, such as mountains, valleys, sea. We must practice exercises of medium and low intensity, in order not to increase the production of lactic acid, walk at least 3-5 km without a mask and outdoors. Do not go to the gym or exercise with a mask, as it is totally antiphysiological. The diet must be alkaline (greens, vegetables, fresh fruits), abundant water (more than 2.5 liters per day on average), eliminate trans fats once and for all and reduce saturated fats. Keep social distance to protect ourselves from possible infections. Do medical exams every six months to quantify the levels of vitamin D, hemoglobin, testosterone and cholesterol, among others, to assess evolution.
The use of the hyperbaric oxygenation chamber, antioxidant serum therapy is recommended and vitamin supplementation, assessment of the use of ozone therapy, colon hydrotherapy and intelligent supplementation, to replenish deficiencies and prevent imbalances.
All these measures could open up the range of possibilities for improvement for a population that has been patient and cooperative in the use of means of protection. Physicians must employ new strategies in the face of a new pathology, which is diminishing, but which still persists.
