Practice in-car yoga skillfully and bid farewell to arthritis

Choosing the right sitting position is key

When driving, you should maintain a relaxed sitting posture. Only in this way can you avoid fatigue easily during long-distance or strenuous driving. When choosing a sitting posture, remember that the position is moderate, that both hands can easily control all interior devices, and that both feet can easily step on all pedals to the end. Don't bend your hands too much when holding the steering wheel, and don't straighten your elbows too much. Both will affect the use of your arm muscles and increase the sensitivity and difficulty when using the steering wheel. Secondly, when the pedaling distance and back tilt are unreasonable, it is easy to cause abnormal physiological curvature of the spine, resulting in lumbar arthritis or lumbar disc herniation. Therefore, it is very important to keep a good sitting posture with a straight waist. Female car owners can put a cushion of moderate hardness and hardness behind the waist. On the one hand, it can support the waist and relieve the fatigue of straightening the back for a long time. On the other hand, it can reduce the impact of the vehicle on the waist.

Hold the steering wheel correctly

When holding the steering wheel, don't just focus on grasping the steering wheel hard and forget to relax your shoulders and use moderate strength. When holding the steering wheel, bend your elbows slightly. When selecting the steering wheel, it should be based on the fact that the palm of your hand can fully surround it, and it should not be too thick or too thin. The material and form should be based on personal comfort. Gently hold the steering wheel with both hands at two o'clock and ten o'clock positions. When steering the wheel, one hand should send it and the other hand should receive it; one hand should turn with the other.

Pay attention to keeping warm when driving

The formation of arthritis has a lot to do with air humidity. When the surrounding temperature is too low and the air is humid, arthritis can easily form. Therefore, when driving, we must not only consider the ventilation situation in the car, but also grasp the temperature inside the car. When the temperature in winter is too low, we must adjust the warm air inside the car. In summer, the temperature adjustment of the air conditioner should be moderate, and MM wearing skirts should avoid the cold wind blowing to the knees. It is recommended that MM driving should place a long-sleeved shirt or coat with light fabric and comfortable texture with the vehicle, and put it on to keep warm after getting on the bus.
