Traffic Jams Harm Your Physical and Mental Health!
      If we often get stuck in traffic on our way to work or if we have to drive for hours, getting out of the car can hurt. This is a sign of deteriorating health as driving in the same position for extended periods of time without moving might result in health problems. Let’s have a look at the risks.
  • #Urinary tract infection
    An urinary tract infection is a common illness associated with traffic congestion. Because if you need to urinate when stuck in traffic, you won't be able to stop at a gas station or find a nearby restroom.
  • #Stress disorder
    Being stranded in the car for an extended period makes us unsure of what to do. As a result,we get in a tense and probably stressful state.Stress symptoms can have a severe impact on both mental and physical health.
  • #Neck pain, back pain
    Sitting in a car in the same non-ergonomic position for a long time can cause neck and back pain. It may appear to be only an ache initially, but if left untreated, it can progress to neck sprain.
  • #Degenerative disc disease
    Another condition produced by sitting in the same position for an extended period is degenerative disc herniation, which is a serious and dangerous disease causing a herniated disc and might require surgery in long term.
  • #Eye pain, tired eyes
    We all know we need our eyes while driving, but when in traffic jams, we need to use our eyes for a longer period. We may have to focus harder, especially at night, causing the risk of getting sleepy.
