Whether taking a vacation, visiting family in another state or working as a truck driver, millions of people get in their vehicles every day and travel the roads and highways. However, long distance driving can have various effects on your health – and using supplemental oxygen can help.
Most people think about the physical dangers of driving such as accidents, speeding, distracted drivers, etc. But long-distance driving can result in negative effects on the body. Long-distance driving, especially at night, can make you tired. You risk losing focus and it can influence your reaction time. Driving for many miles also results in physical inactivity. Being sedentary for prolonged periods can have negative effects.
In addition, there is a greater concentration of air pollution on roads and highways, which you are breathing while you drive.
Using supplemental oxygen while driving can help your general health and wellness.
