With the COVID-19 spreading like wild fire all over the globe, wearing a mask has become essential for everyone. It has become a daily routine. Wearing it no matter where we go. Office, grocery shopping, malls, park and so on.

Plus it is a good way to destress by sweating it out. It surely refreshes your mind and brings in positivity.

It can do harm instead of protecting you. I know it is important to wear a mask to protect against the virus but can be avoided while out for run or cycling.

When we run / cycle, we are breathing faster and deeper. We need more and more oxygen while we are all pumped and active. But having the mask on the face restricts the air flow, for which the lungs will work harder and will result in damaging them.

COVID-19 is transmitted trough droplets when one sneeze or coughs. It is not an airborne virus. So I request my friends to please avoid wearing the mask. And please speak this information with your friends too. God bless you all. Stay Healthy Stay Safe.
