Imagine for a moment that you’ve just had a bit of a prang in your motor vehicle, but unfortunately did not have a comprehensive car insurance policy which resulted in the damage costing you a fair few bog to repair. You could hardly then go and take out a better policy and claim on that accident that occurred prior to your new insurance. This is just and logical of course but there’s still a bit of misconception about what insurance is when it refers to health cover.

A young couple hoping to start a family of their own might be keen to take out some maternity health insurance, especially with a first born. But here’s the mistake; they apply for such cover after conception which is akin to putting in a claim for the car insurance after the crash. Insurance companies don’t want to pay out unless they have to, so when a young couple comes to them asking for a quote because they have concerns about the pregnancy and would like it covered, they will more often than not be shown the door.

Some companies may oblige pregnancy insurance if the couple are fit and healthy with no hereditary complications in either family, but even then, the price of such cover will skyrocket when taken out after conception as opposed to pre-conception.

So think on all you young couples out there. If you are planning to have a baby and want insurance for the term, then make sure you apply for it prior to conception, not after it.

The same could be said for Islam, staunch Christians, Hindus, and all the rest of them, In fact, out of all the religions out there, it is only really Buddhism (if that can be deemed a religion of sorts), that shows the most tolerance. Isn’t it about time the world opened up and lightened up to the fact that we all belong to the ‘human race’ no matter what else we believe in! How unloving and uncaring is it for any family or community, or society as a whole, to stand in the way of true love because of their beliefs. Well, thanks to the internet, we’re going to see a lot more inter-all-sorts of relationships as the young singles of the 21st century begin to break the mould and rebel against the medieval ways and time traps that the generation before them still believe in, and thank GOD for that!

In the societies of a bygone age, Dad only spoke of manly things, and Mum spoke and did womanly things, and that’s just the way it was. A woman of just 4 generations ago would not have dreamed of asking her spouse if he knew of, or heard of any remedies for menopause, as an example. Such a difficult time for many women, this once taboo subject saw a lot of middle aged women go through hell alone, and that was not healthy for either body or mind, especially in those cases where it went of for a number of years. Thank the heavens it’s not like that today.

There are all kinds of support groups, products, services, and openness on any subject imaginable, and because of it, lives are being saved.

As a consequence, when the pain and discomfort got so bad that they no longer cared, it was often too late because the poor young chap had become riddled with testicular cancer thus meaning he had a terminal and incurable disease that could have been cured if treated in its infancy.

So both men and women of today have the opportunity to be healthier and fitter than at any time previous, and a lot of this is not only down to medical technology and know-how (including alternative medicine & treatments) , but openness and unashamed to seek help about any concern be it of body or mind. We’re living in times where the nation has never been so educated, but sadly many still chose to dig their own graves by overeating, smoking, drinking, and other addictions. The good side to all that is the opening for help should these obsessive types chose to take it.
