Doctor explains why drivers stop every two hours

To avoid diseases of the spine and joints, drivers need to take regular breaks on the way. This in an interview with aif.ru said orthopedic doctor Andrei Litvinenko.

According to the doctor, every two hours drivers need to make stops, get out of the car and warm up. Such breaks will restore blood supply in the spine, improve muscle function and develop joints.

In urban traffic jams, it is also important to change the position of the body. You can turn left and right, get out of the car again.

“Stop every two hours and minimal physical activity will help reduce the risk of osteochondrosis, arthrosis and other problems associated with prolonged driving,” concluded Litvinenko.

Earlier, experts have revealed how coffee can "sleep" a driver on a long road.

Motorists were also warned of danger due to seat covers.
