Researchers from Harvard University Medical School conducted a study that led to the conclusion that the driver is a rather dangerous profession..

And it's not that there are an incredible number of fatal accidents around the world every day or that a person starts to hurt his back from a long stay behind the wheel.. The danger lies in other diseases of professional drivers.

Due to the effect of vibration on the driver's body while driving, the bone beams and the relief of the articular surfaces change, and this causes their abrasion and deformation.. Because of what the driver can get a herniated disc, sciatica and osteochondrosis.

Due to the constant sedentary lifestyle, the driver suffers from blood circulation. Drivers constantly talk about pain in their legs, and doctors diagnose: varicose veins. They are more likely to experience gastrointestinal ailments, as long-distance drivers rarely eat home-cooked food, and more intercept food on the go that is not healthy..

Poor circulation in the pelvis causes prostatitis, urolithiasis, erectile dysfunction. The authors of the work also consider heated seats as a negative factor, which lead to various inflammatory processes..

Drivers, no matter how hard they try to avoid it, regularly inhale gasoline and fuel processing products.. When gasoline is burned, scientists say more than two hundred toxic products are released into the air..
