Responsible employers in the United States have realized that a healthy and happy employee is more productive, and therefore promote and support the idea of ​​a healthy lifestyle. There are such employers even in very unexpected industries - for example, a trucking company is actively interested in issues of longevity and health preservation SVB Express. The company told a ForumDaily correspondent how a trucker (and not only him - the recipe is the same for everyone) can keep himself in good shape, lead a healthy lifestyle and contribute to his longevity.

First of all, the company says, on the way to the goal of preserving the health of employees, you should not break away from reality and put on rose-colored glasses. Truck driving is a sedentary job, and it is unhealthy. Low physical activity, according to doctors based on various studies, increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Recognizing the main disadvantage of working as a trucker, SVB Express note that they were able to create a schedule and working conditions that allow truckers who want to monitor their physical condition to do it better and more efficiently than in many other professions.

Longevity recipe and truck driving

Physical activity

This is the main guarantee of health and longevity. Doctors advise to regularly engage in moderate physical activity. This could be brisk walking, swimming, dancing, or exercising in the gym. If you load your body with moderate physical activity at least 150 minutes a week, then the risk of developing coronary heart disease and stroke, arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, depression, osteoporosis, and cancer is significantly reduced.

The work of a trucker involves constant small physical activity: checking and securing cargo, repair work, etc. Staff SVB Express physically more active than their counterparts from other companies, since SVB only works with flat bed trucks. These are open platforms on which you can carry loads of different sizes, but the driver must secure these loads and cover them with an awning, and this is already a good physical training.

But in time it will not be enough to ensure the health of the body, according to the recommendations of doctors. but SVB Express invites its drivers to independently form a work schedule (especially if you are an owner operator), which means, if you wish, you will have time for independent sports activities or visiting a fitness club.

Healthy sleep

Adequate rest ensures the renewal of the nervous system and body cells, which is extremely important, especially for those who are already over 30. Schedule of work in SVB Express not only allows, but demands that drivers sleep at night - a well-rested trucker is more attentive, the risk of accidents is lower, the cargo and vehicle are safe.

Balanced diet

To be healthy and prolong your life, you need to build a diet from a variety of foods: grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy products. It is extremely important to regularly, 2-3 times a week, eat fish, and fruits and vegetables should be present in the diet daily (at least 500 g per day).

Poor nutrition is a major risk factor for many non-communicable diseases, including cancer. Poor nutrition in 35% of cases is the cause of the development of cancer, smoking comes in second place - 32%, heredity accounts for only 2%. That is, what we eat directly affects our chances of living to 100 years.

What influences our diet? On the one hand, the desire to adhere to a healthy diet, and on the other, financial capabilities. Farmed fruits and vegetables in the USA are not cheap, nor are fish and seafood. Therefore, to provide a healthy diet for the whole family, you need to earn good money.

With salaries SVB Express you can afford to eat really well and properly. The company pays up to $ 1 per mile. On average, a driver drives 10 to 000 miles a month. This brings him $ 12 - $ 000 monthly. This amount is significantly higher than the national average income and certainly does not save on food. One of the reasons for such high salaries is the company's work exclusively with flat-bed trucks. Such trucks carry loads of different sizes, which means they are more in demand among customers who are willing to pay more for the transportation of their cargo by machines. SVB Express, because the owners of conventional trucks are unable to carry out such transportation.
