How does driving a car affect a woman's health?

Currently, the car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation, and many simply do not think of life without it. In addition to the fact that you can easily get to work without any special difficulties, make large purchases in shops, go out of town, you can go all the family on a holiday trip, and stop and visit the places that you want, and not which are planned by the tour operator.

And lately, more and more women can be met at the wheel of a car, and this is far from exotic, but quite normal.

According to the statistics of the DGDD, a female driver is more disciplined than a man, and the occurrence of traffic accidents involving women is much lower than that of men. And all this, because the woman, has a number of features:

But driving a personal car does not pass without a trace for women. Let's talk about how driving will affect a woman's health?

Women - statistic drivers are aging faster than women who work monotonously. This is affected by a constant emotional tension, a sedentary posture while driving, constant noise and vibration.

Modern life leads to the fact that a person who once drives a car is unlikely to trade it for public transport or for a walk, which does not favorably affect not only the nervous system, but also the locomotor system, the cardiovascular system,

on the gastrointestinal tract, and eventually a sedentary lifestyle can lead to overweight. I propose to consider some aspects in more detail.

First of all, driving a car has a special effect on the nervous system, since the driver is constantly in suspense. And when there is no possibility for a long time to relax and rest, it is fraught with nervous breakdowns, stresses, depressions, neuroses, which in turn can lead to more serious diseases of the nervous system and psyche. Unlike men, women get tired faster.

Secondly, the spine suffers, and, as is known, many diseases are caused by overload of the spine, these are headaches, and sleep disturbances, and coccygeal pains, and ischemia of the heart and the like. To reduce the burden on the spine, you just need to sit right behind the wheel, and for this you need to properly install the driver's seat. In cars, the driver's workplace, as a rule, is designed for a man, and accordingly a woman will have to work hard to correct it for herself. Typically, to begin with, you need to lift the chair, slightly push it forward, so that the legs are in a slightly bent position, the hips should be placed horizontally. The steering wheel, the control panel, the gearshift knob and the pedals must be accessible. In addition, it is possible to use massage cloaks on the seats, which are made of large wooden balls woven in a certain way. If the chair is not equipped with a convex backrest at the level of the lumbar spine, then you can put an ordinary pillow. In addition, if there is a desire, then you can install and armrest, which will help rest the hands. If the distance from the floor to the pedals is too high, then you can use a foam mat, or a thicker mat if necessary. But even with the correct position of the trunk while driving, do not abuse it, give the spine a break. If possible, stop by the wayside, get out of the car and take a walk a bit.

In the third place, the chest often suffers. During the control of the machine, women often face such a problem as blowing a chest against the steering wheel, getting, it would seem, minor injuries, but their frequent repetition leads to more serious ailments, such as mastipathy and sometimes even provoke the formation of cancer.

But, speaking about how the driving of a car affects the health of a woman, we can not fail to mention the existence of pluses for the female body. According to sex therapists, women who are confident drivers, as a rule, have more than full intimate relationships. Since many women, buying a car, thereby increase their self-esteem, and feel more confident and independent, which is especially pleasing to men. Still, according to doctors, in the pelvic area there is an active blood circulation, which can not be better for women's sexuality. This fact alone, plus, covers all the many negative effects of driving a woman on the body, and they are unlikely to give up such cars.
