IS DRIVING HEALTHY?
T HERE stiM are those who declare that the automobile , as f ‘done wrong” by the nation s health in converting everyone to driving or riding. Some medical men disagree with this view. Many of them declare that autombile driving also provides a form of exercise that is beneficial. Walking exercises mainly the leg muscles, while driving brings into greater use the arm and shoulder muscles. The motorist's leg muscles get considerable action in operating the brake and clutch pedals. The exercise one finds in car operation has the additional advantage of being regular and not too strenuous. It takes less muscle to drive a car to-day than ever before, but at that, it requires enough muscle effort to be conducive to good health.
