Travel Insurance for Pre Existing Medical Conditions

0

Unexpected, negative events happen to people whether they are at home or not which is why many companies now offer types of travel insurance for things like Canceled services, missed flights or medical expenses incurred while they are on vacation. There is more than one type of travel insurance such as policies for general trips, ones for more dangerous activities such as snowboarding and skiing and even these have differing policy coverage. If medical coverage is something that is important to you as a traveller there are some important things to consider before buying travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions.

The company you choose to insure you may not have coverage for pre-existing conditions. Travel insurance policies in general have taken a reputation beating because of other companies that are not so reputable. Policy language can be confusing and customers can easily overlook clauses in a contract that state persons with pre-existing conditions are not covered under the policy terms. Items like heart conditions, bone dysphasia’s, diabetes and other medical issues that were present before signing the policy can bar some customers from obtaining medical coverage at all while away on holiday. The best strategy customers have is to read any policy that has been offered or that they have applied for to be sure they will be covered despite a pre-existing condition. If they aren’t they should shop around for a company that will insure them.

Many companies automatically exclude persons with pre-existing conditions from obtaining medical coverage however, there are some companies that will allow it. There are usually many rules and requirements associated with a company extending coverage to a person with a pre-existing condition. For example, a person must be medically stable as evidenced by some proof from a doctor and having their trip prepaid in order to waive the pre-existing condition exclusion. Companies take on more risk when someone who is more prone to needing medical care leaves on vacation insured by them.

Consumers can still get coverage on the same policy if they are traveling with someone that has the medical condition. Many companies such as http://medicaltreatmentinindia.org provide coverage for two or more people and separate language in the policy for the member of a group that has a medical condition. For example if a married couple purchases insurance and one of them has a pre-existing medical condition, the other spouse will not be excluded from coverage based on the other person’s condition.

Some companies act as intermediaries between consumers and insurers. This has benefits and drawbacks such as being able to compare travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions or lack of dealing with a company directly. Insurers like the one mentioned above often are partnered with several other actual insurance providers that pay out claims and write policies. The benefit here is that you are actually talking to many companies all at once because the intermediary will find the best price possible based upon your circumstances. The only trouble is that information can sometimes be hard to obtain or non-existent on the intermediaries’ site or through their customer service lines. One particular company may not be offering cheap travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions when another that the intermediary is dealing with does.

Most insurers operate based on the honor system rather than denying people outright. When you go to fill out a policy application or sign a contract, there will usually be questions related to your health and pre-existing conditions. You may know very well that you have a condition and fear that you won’t be covered if you tell the truth about it. This will get you past the first stages however, it is when you go to make a claim that insurance companies really start doing their homework. It is very unwise to lie to an insurance company as they can check health records, medical bills, and a variety of other sources to determine if you are telling the truth. If you have been found to lie you will not only lose any type of coverage you may have had, you could also face criminal insurance fraud charges.

When it comes down to it, obtaining travel insurance for persons with pre-existing conditions can be incredibly difficult if not expensive. There are some companies that will do it if individuals comply with a few rules however, it is important to never lie about your condition. Reading your policy can go a long way to helping you in the future. Many companies offer insurance to travelers who may already be planning a trip and these offers may or may not be reputable. Insurers sometimes offer a grace period before signing any contract which you should take full advantage of by reading and understanding what it is exactly you are being provided coverage for. Another way to find a reputable company is by checking out A.M. Best’s list of rated underwriters to see if the company you plan on purchasing insurance from is rated. These can act like travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions reviews allowing consumers to see if companies have good or poor ratings or none at all. If you can’t find travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions, it may be best not to purchase any policy at all.

The Dangers of Water Parks

Dangers of Water Parks
If you have a family with young children this summer, you might be thinking about taking an extended weekend and heading to your local water park as a mini-vacation during the hot weather while everyone is out of school. Water parks are a lot of fun for both kids and adults, but the truth about them is that there are a number of dangers you need to be aware of before you send your children running into the water. If you take the proper precautions, going to the water park can be a lot of fun and it can be a great way for your kids to burn off some energy while having a blast and making some wonderful memories. But before you pack up your bags, keep these dangers in mind.

Slippery walkways. You may be thinking, “Of course the walkways will be slippery… It’s a water park.” but many people don’t fully realize what that means. Kids love to run everywhere they go when they are excited, and an excited kid is not going to pay attention to the signs warning about slippery sidewalks and pathways. A slip and fall can cause serious injury, especially to a young person. One of the best things you can do is to make sure your children have the appropriate footwear. It may not completely prevent the possibility of slipping on a water-saturated surface, but it will help protect their feet and it will be a deterrent to slipping.

Sun exposure. When you and your kids are covered in water, you’re at a greater risk of sun exposure. The water enhances the rays of the sun and makes them more dangerous for your skin. Applying a waterproof sunscreen is one of your best options. But don’t think that applying it one time is going to be enough. Sunscreens will wear off, even the waterproof ones, so make sure you apply sunscreen every couple of hours. You’ll get the maximum protection and you’ll avoid the painful sunburns the next day.

Dehydration. Dehydration is not something people think about when they are at a water park. Water is everywhere, so how can you get dehydrated? Well, you may be covered in and surrounded by water, but that doesn’t mean you’re consuming enough water to keep you well hydrated for an active day in the sun. Kids especially need to keep hydrated when they are active. And playing in the water only aids in dehydration. When your kids come running back to you with wrinkly fingers, it means that through osmosis, water is leaving your children’s bodies, making them more susceptible to heat exhaustion and dehydration. Make sure you have plenty of drinks on hand. Water is a good one to have, but also have some other drinks as well, like sports drinks, that have electrolytes and calories that will help fuel your children as they run around and play in the water. You won’t regret being more safe than necessary in order to prevent something bad from happening.

As we usher into the world of technology and leisure, the diseases that were found to attack less number of people, have now become an everyday scenario. Just like other modern day disease, even diabetes comes under the category of potential epidemic disorder. Reports from US National library of medicine suggest that 31.7 million people had diabetes in India in the year 2000, which topped the ranking. The disease occurs when the insulin level in the body is not read by the blood cells. There are multiple contributing factors to the issue and more and more people are being affected by the disorder. Apart from changing one’s life lifestyle, it is important to add some yoga poses to the patient’s routine, for a quicker control.

Here are some poses that will help the patient in combating the disorder wisely:

Sugar Cravings Causes: Know What Causes Irresistible Urge to Eat Sinful Sweets

In this post, we will talk about the main causes of sugar cravings.

Sugar cravings have bothered all of us at some time or the other.

Sugar is one of the simplest pleasures we can treat ourselves to. Recent researches have proved that sugar helps release endorphins or happiness causing and pain relieving hormones in the body.

Excessive sugar intake is bad for the body, and can cause us serious health problems.

Read this to know why you need to curb your sugar cravings/ cut down on sugar intake.

Inspite of it, there comes a time when we realize that we are giving in to the cravings too frequently and that we need to cut down on sugar intake, for health reasons or otherwise. More so because it has now been proved that sugar cravings are in many ways similar to cravings for other addictive chemicals like drugs and alcohol.

Read our next post in this category to know if you are addicted to sugar.

Craving for sugar

I have a major sweet tooth myself and I talked to my endocrinologist to know about the possible causes of my sugar cravings.

The Main Causes of Sugar Cravings

Here are the various sugar cravings causes, as explained by him to me:

Low adrenal function:

Our body contains many endocrine glands which secrete hormones. One of these is the pair of adrenal glands located above the kidneys on either side of the body. The main functions of adrenal glands include:

Secreting epinephrine/ adrenaline which is the hormone that helps the body deal with stressful situations by releasing instant energy.

Secreting cortisone when there is an inflammation in the body

Producing the female hormones estrogen and progesterone in women as they approach their menopausal age. The production of these hormones which was earlier being looked after by the ovaries is taken over by the adrenal glands. In most women, this transition takes place without any hitch IF the system is functioning properly.

The proper functioning of adrenal glands is essential to regulate the metabolism of sugar in our body. Any disturbance in their functioning can cause sugar cravings.

What, then, are the factors that can cause a disturbance in adrenal function?

Increased production of adrenaline:

This is the MOST important factor that can interfere with the normal functioning of our adrenal glands.

Whenever we face a stressful situation, our adrenal glands secrete adrenaline to equip our body to deal with the situation. The problem is that the glands do not know the difference between the stress before an exam, the stress of putting up with a short tempered spouse, the stress of having to meet deadlines and the stress of reaching office on time.

Unable to differentiate between the different types of stress, these glands simply start secreting more of adrenaline whenever they get a STRESSED-OUT signal.

Food allergies:

Inflammation in the body is usually the result of injuries or diseases/infections. A lesser known fact is that inflammation might be caused by food allergies as well. If the allergy has been caused by a food we eat frequently (like wheat, dairy, etc.), the body might have a constant low grade inflammation at all times. In such circumstances, the body will have to increase its production of cortisone to keep the inflammation under control. Such food allergies can become major triggers for sugar cravings.

Advancing age:

As the progesterone and estrogen producing functions of the ovaries are taken up by the adrenal glands in the pre-menopausal stage, adrenal function slows down further. If you have a low grade allergy to a particular food (which, in most cases, you will not even realize because your body handles it so efficiently) and facing a stressful situation, the energy reserves of your body get depleted. When this happens, the body craves for sugar to get instant energy to be able to perform its day to day functions efficiently. This explains sugar cravings in most of us.

Hormonal imbalances:

The sugar cravings become more intense among females in their late thirties and early forties ( as they are approaching menopause) because the depleted energy reserves of the body (due to everyday stress and food allergies) fall down even further as the adrenal glands are required to produce adequate amounts of estrogen and progesterone. The extremely low level of endorphins in the body immediately before the monthly period or their menopause is one of the main causes of sugar cravings among women.

Sweets- I just can’t seem to have enough of them!

Are Your Shoes Causing You Back Pain- Tips to Pick Up the Best Shoes for Back Pain

0

Today, we will help you pick up the best shoes for back pain.

Suffering from back ache, and can’t really make out what is causing it?

The culprit could be the shoes you are wearing!

You might not even have realized that wrong choice of shoes can cause you back ache. Choosing the inappropriate shoes for your activities or wearing shoes that do not fit you properly can play havoc with your spinal health and cause you more discomfort than you’d probably thought.

Back Pain

Most fashion conscious women would not mind enduring some discomfort for wearing those sexy stilettos to a party or to a dinner date. What they probably do not realize is that they could be causing long term damage to their spine by doing so.

Read on to choose the best shoes for back pain

High heels and back pain: the correlation

Your heel is the first part of your body to hit the ground when you stand or walk. After the heel makes that impact with the ground, the weight gets transferred to the rest of the foot gradually. Your feet, ultimately, bear the weight of your entire body as you stand or walk.

And how your weight is distributed over your feet when you stand or walk will be determined by your choice of shoes.

If you are wearing comfortable shoes, your body weight will be evenly distributed over your feet, thereby avoiding any undue stress over the muscles of your feet as well as your spine.

If, on the contrary, you are wearing high heels or uncomfortable shoes, the weight of the body will not be over your heels but on your toes. This, precisely, is the reason you get pain in your toes whenever you wear shoes that are too narrow or pointed and do not give your toes enough space. That causes cramped toes at the end of the evening, with you wanting to kick out your sexy shoes the moment you reach back home.

High heels cause the body weight to shift forward, putting more pressure on the toes and also causing the back to get slightly arched, without you even realizing it. As a result, you will get a back ache and sore feet in some time.

Blaming your shoes for back pain already? Wait- there’s more you need to know!

Now, while that does not sound too good, especially for those who suffer from back pain, that should be no reason to throw out all high heels altogether? All you need to do is be careful while picking up your shoes and heels. Pick up the RIGHT shoes to help back pain.

Some high heels can be comfortable too, if they support your heel properly and help distribute your body weight over the entire foot evenly. On the contrary, flat shoes can also cause back ache or discomfort if they are not fitting you properly.

Choose your shoes carefully, and avoid high heels. Do not wear them too often.

If you already suffer from a severe back ache, you would d best to talk to a specialist who can help you pick up just the right orthotic shoes for you.

Specially designed footwear which helps support the muscles and joints of the feet properly can provide relief to those cramped toes and hurting back.

Tips for Buying the Best Shoes for Back Pain:

Pick up the best shoes for lower back pain by following the simple tips laid down below:

Best Shoes for Back Pain

Your feet change in size throughout the day & are biggest at the end of the day. As far as possible, go shopping shoes late in the evenings to avoid buying shoes which might seem like a size-too-small when you want to put them on next time.

Avoid buying shoes and other footwear online, because you will never know how comfortable a pair of shoes is till you actually try walking in them for a few steps at least.

Don’t pick up a pair which does not fit you too well thinking that they will fit better as time goes by. Learn to walk away from ill fitting shoes than trying to walk in them.

My personal experience says that shoes which give you some extra space in front of the big toe are most comfortable. While it is important to have enough space, make sure that the shoes are not too loose. In that case, you will not be able to walk comfortably.

Never buy shoes in a hurry. Try both shoes on, and make sure you can move comfortably in them. A good pair of shoes must allow your feet enough stability.

Avoid wearing flip-flops. Though they are so easy to put on and take off, they put excessive pressure on the toes since they are open at the back. As your toes work overtime to maintain a grip on your flip flops, the balance of your entire body gets disturbed. Your hips become misaligned and tired, as do the muscles of the back and legs. Not only that, they provide little or no cushion to the heels and your feet feel tired too.

Throw away your back pain shoes and pick up the right pair that fits you well.

We hope the simple dos and don’ts listed above will help you choose the best shoes for back pain.

Our body needs water!
