DRIVING MORE THAN 2 HOURS/DAY . . . LOWERS IQ, ESPECIALLY IN MIDDLE-AGED DRIVERS

Okay, the New York Post has this article running, which was picked up by Drudge.  And anyone who has ever driven for a living--Uber, taxi, CDL, or long commutes in your own car or as a courier--these guys know all about how driving long periods of time destroys health.  Now there's proof.  Actually, there's always been proof, just that . . . well, you get the picture.  Bad for your health, but also bad for your brain.  Not good!

        Spending a lot of time driving may actually put your brain in reverse.

Not good.  Why?  How bad is it?  It's bad.  

A new British study found that spending more than two hours a day behind the wheel steadily lowers IQ, especially in middle-aged drivers, according to the Sunday Times of London.

Talk about a dagger through my heart.  What's the remedy?  Move. Movement. Exercise.  Get up off your heiny.

Driving is physically and mentally sedentary and can cause stress and fatigue, all factors in brain decline, experts told the newspaper.

“Staying mentally and physically active helps keep our brains healthy, so it is not surprising,” researcher Rosa Sancho said.
