What occupational diseases do taxi drivers have? How to prevent it?

Most taxi drivers suffer from cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, hyperosteogeny, sciatica and other diseases to varying degrees. These diseases are related to their special work nature and unhealthy lifestyle, such as sedentary, nervous, tired, lack of sleep, irregular diet and other occupational factors.

1. Diet and nutrition should be adjusted appropriately. Drivers consume a lot of energy and physical strength. Therefore, in terms of dietary nutrition, they should give priority to foods with high protein, moderate fat and various vitamins and cellulose, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink more boiled water or light tea when driving.

2. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest to prevent overdraft health. Drivers should learn to take time off from work, especially to ensure adequate sleep time every day. In addition to sleeping normally at night, you can also take a nap between loading and unloading during driving.

3. Insist on strengthening physical exercise. You can insist on running, doing aerobics and other outdoor activities every morning and evening. Be good at using the free time when loading and unloading or waiting for guests to get out of the cab, breathe fresh air, do some activities and relax the spine, waist, joints and limbs.

4. Drivers should avoid emotional impatience in their work and life, learn to get rid of bad emotions, and always maintain an optimistic, positive and healthy mental state.
