{"text":"Sp driving time away from their home base for 12 hours to several weeks at a time, away from the conveniences and routine schedules of home life can take a serious toll on both the physical And mental health of a driver.\n\n\nEven though a truck driving career presents a multitude of challenges for the truck driver to achieve and maintain good health, it can be done. Yes, truck driving does not need to be a sentence of poor health. Here are some tips:\n\n\nHEALTHY DIET\n- Drink water. Drinking water boosts your energy, helps you feel full, and nourishes your skin by flushing impurities and improving circulation.\n\n\n- Choose smaller portions. Don't go back for seconds, and stock up on healthy snacks.\n\n\n- Eat when you're hungry. Do not eat when you're bored.\n\n\n- Eat slowly. Stop eating when your body registers it is full.\n\n\nEXERCISE\nSome physical activity is better than none. Regular physical activity helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints; increases strength and endurance; manages weight; controls blood pressure, and relieves feelings of stress.\n\n\nSLEEP\nAllocate enough time for sleep. We need sleep to rest and repair our bodies and minds. \n\n\nA healthy lifestyle is a choice. Got some tips to share?
