Drivers often drive because of their profession. They sit in the same position for a long time, which will cause a certain degree of damage to the body over time. Semi-trailer drivers drive longer vehicles and travel longer distances, so they should pay more attention to their health. Here are some health tips prepared by the editor to accompany you in healthy driving.
1. Eat less irritating food
Truck drivers often drive fatigued. In order to get rid of sleepiness, they will drink (or eat) some irritating food. In fact, eating such items will only cause excessive fatigue of body functions and weaken reaction ability. Long-term drinking and coffee are not good for the body.
2. Reduce driving on an empty stomach
When hungry, the blood sugar in the human body will decrease, and to a certain extent, dizziness, fatigue, and lack of concentration will occur, which will directly affect the driving reaction ability and bury hidden dangers for safe driving.
3. Use air conditioning less
With the continuous improvement of the technical level of automobile companies, most semi-trailers are now equipped with air conditioning as standard, and the sealing of the vehicles has also been greatly improved. Some drivers like to use air conditioning throughout the driving process, but if the air conditioning is turned on for a long time, they will experience dizziness, nausea, and even vomiting. At this time, you should open the window for a few minutes every once in a while to allow air circulation in the car.
4. Exercise more and maintain less posture
Maintaining a posture for a long time while driving can easily lead to lesions in the cervical spine, spine, lumbar muscles, etc. You should take a break in the service area every few hours while driving, and do moderate exercise on the parts that are easily damaged.
5. Solve the problem of holding urine
In order to reduce the number of times they go to the toilet on the road, some drivers rarely drink water while driving, and sometimes they would rather hold urine than find a place to solve it. Adequate water intake is necessary for the human body, because water is the main source of body fluids in the human body, and it has the important function of balancing body temperature and ensuring normal metabolism. Holding urine can cause lesions and injuries in many parts. For example, urinary tract and bladder inflammation. If you really can't find a place, you might as well solve it on the spot. Anyway, every man has this kind of thing.
6. Keep a physical examination
If possible, semi-trailer drivers should have a regular physical examination every year. Diseases often start from small external factors, and if you don't pay attention to them, they will eventually become uncontrollable. Annual examinations can effectively prevent such things from happening. It is especially important to remind you that if you have symptoms on the road, you must treat them in time.
