Health, Wealth and Insurance

When I think and say Health and Wealth, I do mean it for health and wealth go with one another. Only if one lives then the meaning of wealth exists. Living a healthy life is very important. To stay healthy it is very important to eat healthy, make a habit of regular exercising, drink lots of water, a good night’s sleep, and above all have a healthy mind that releases stress and makes a good day.

A healthy body has a healthy mind.

Then think of wealth.

It is not necessary that the body will always remain fit. There will be times when one falls sick and has to pay for medical expenses. Medical expenses have gone up and it is difficult to pay from ones pocket. To make matters easy there are health insurance covers which pay for the medical bills.

Different insurance companies cover health insurance under different plans. A good and thorough study of the papers can give a clear idea of the plan which fits the requirements of an individual.

It is always better to make a detailed study of the insurance plan before deciding to go for it to get benefit.

To get covered under a health insurance policy, it is money that helps in buying one. Call up agents who can give a good and clear picture, do not rush.

It is always good to find out ways to keep healthy.

Keep healthy and enjoy life.

Benefits of Walking

In my previous post when I wrote about cricket, I mentioned about Fitness. For me Fitness means “good physical condition of a human body and of being in good shape”. This is totally my view and I feel remaining physically fit helps to be in a healthy mind too. There are ways of keeping fit and each individual can find his/her way to keep fit.
One of the best ways is going for walks. The parks in city areas have walking tracks and a large number of people-men, women and even youth-can be found everyday walking along the track for fitness. Some go for morning walks and many others have time for evening walks. Elderly people have time for both morning and evening walk.

It is best to go for a walk in comfortable clothes and fine if you wear a pair of sports shoes. It is not the time to show off brands like Nike, Reebok or any other but all that matters is the way you take you walk and the time that has been spent on your fitness programme. Being regular is the secret of fitness. Lazy ones come for a day and then laze in their homes and turn up when their moods beckon them.

Another benefit of going out for a walk is you get lot of fresh air and at the same time find friends among the walkers and sometimes like minded people become very good friends.

Walk also helps to control blood pressure, lose weight and at the same time keep weight within healthy limits, decrease risk of heart attack, helps maintain the cholesterol level and also lowers risk of type 2 diabetes.

If walk is taken for a purpose it should be with a brisk pace for about half an hour everyday. A days rest in a week can do but a regular walker doesn’t like to stay back without reason.

Keep fit with a steady walking routine.

Swine Flu and Homeopathy

Swine Flu or the H1N1 virus has entered the Indian soil and is now spreading from one place to another. Till now they were the ones who had returned from their foreign trips brought the H1N1 virus with them. And now silently this flu is hopping from one body to another, from one city to another, causing a major threat and health problem in India.

Swine flu took its first toll on life in Pune. The people of the other cities are not safe either. The number of H1N1 virus infected persons is rising in the different parts of India. To check the spread, government is trying to control the spread of this influenza.

Simple caution: wear masks on the face covering the nose and the mouth portion, wash hands regularly at short intervals, stay away from visiting crowded places, avoid being near those who are sick and most importantly avoid foreign travels if not necessary.
Till now the government hospitals had been asked to conduct the tests for this infection and administer and distribute medicines from government hospitals only.


Now Homeopaths have come out to say Homeopathy can prevent and cure swine flu.

With another ray of hope for cure, many may heave a sigh of relief from the panic they are going through.

“There is always light at the end of the tunnel” has been rightly said.
