While driving safely is vitally important for truckers, treating their own bodies with respect is also crucial. A truck driver's health can mean the difference between a pleasant route and a difficult or even dangerous one.

Unfortunately, the truck driver's lifestyle does not always encourage healthy habits. Like everyone else, truck drivers need to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Some truckers find that it is easier to eat healthily by blending fresh produce into a smoothie or other beverage.

Health and Wellness• Truck drivers can also bring fruits and vegetables

on the road as snacks. Even when drivers stop for a meal, they can make healthy food choices by selecting a salad bar rather than a burger and fries.

On the road or off, truckers must remember to drink enough water and get enough sleep. Bottled water is portable and accessible even when the driver is behind the wheel, and eight hours or so of sleep a night helps revitalize the body and mind.
