23. Truck Driver Health – Reduce Your Sugar And Salt Intake
Sugar and salt when used in moderation are fine, some will say important to your overall wellbeing, but unfortunately we are all guilty of using too much of each. Too much of either is bad for the heart. Now, it has been said that sugar doesn’t directly cause diabetes, but it doesn’t help, while, salt has been related to heart disease. So if you are going to use them just be sensible about it and don’t overdo it.
24. Truck Driver Health – Avoid Eating Right Before Bed
We work all day, often making the mistake of skipping meals and then get hungry later in the evening. We will often raid our goody bags, coolers, refrigerators, or even make a midnight run to the quick stop to get something to eat. This causes a few issues; firstly your body is now digesting and not letting you rest properly. Secondly it has been linked to weight gain and tooth decay. So try to eat a few hours before bed time! That way your body will have the needed time to metabolize the food.
