How often have you heard that beauty and health is only skin –deep? Well you might believe it actually is – but think again, for research shows that the truth behind a woman’s beauty and health, her lustrous skin is actually the result of a healthy mind and body. A good care must be taken of a woman’s mental health too. And if there is some mental health hazard, it should be taken care of instantly.
Coming to women’s health and beauty, you might polish your skin with a hundred different creams, masks or lotions but the fact is that unless those mental cobwebs, slow digestive systems and layers of cellulite are cleared beauty would be only a distant dream. How often have you had severe pimple and acne problems and thought these would disappear with a lenient dose of medicated lotions. Well it’s time that you knew the real reason - all our external deformities, be it a mere pimple, rash or a problem of dandruff are tell-tale signs of our internal condition. What’s wrong inside manifests outside and questions of women’s health issues arise. A stress free life, coupled with daily exercises, and a nutritious diet all contribute to our women’s health and physical well-being and mental health. As a woman nears 30, her bones start losing their vitality – this is exactly the time when she should begin a conscious effort to eat and stay healthy.

The idea of universal health care suggests that there would be adequate and affordable health insurance and health care facilities for each individual, irrespective of their financial status, sex or the region they hail from. In some European countries like Germany, UK and certain South American countries such systems backed by sound affordable health insurance policies, health care facilities like hospitals, drug and health food stores, health clinics, timely vaccination camps for children and detailed medical examinations for the elderly have already been put into place. This is however not the case as far as third-world nations are concerned – already grappling with financial, food and medical problems the problem is further aggravated because of lack of education and awareness about health and diseases. The other major issue in these parts of the world is a lack of awareness about women’s health. Government, private bodies and NGO’s therefore need to join hands to educate the common man about the importance of women’s health, and the availability of food and medicine at the health food stores and the dispensaries. Malnutrition, thyroid, arthritis, cancer are severe life-crippling illnesses that women face, and as such it is the duty of every government to enforce universal health care systems where through greater communication and co-operation between health professionals and people a happy and healthy nation would emerge.

We live in a world where the age-old adage ‘health is wealth’ is becoming more and more relevant and for men it is crucial - for more often than not, it is the man in the family who is sole breadwinner and as such his well-being is important. Stress, anxiety, depression and feelings of loss of worth in this fast-paced world is fast becoming common and men’s health is affected as young men are falling prey to diseases like, hypertension, cardiac problems, diabetes, thyroid and so on. It is thus crucial for us to have a sound knowledge of the various avenues of health care. Health care is the prime focus of most developed nations – where each individual’s mental and physical health is managed, treated and nursed through various services. These include not just curative and preventive measures by doctors but also by institutions, which have introduced health insurance facilities. You need to judiciously choose your health insurance - be it government sponsored plans or private insurance companies, because not all men’s health and women’s health related problems are covered under these schemes. The basic idea is that you need to pay a certain premium or taxes to protect yourself and your family from high and urgent healthcare expenses. So select a health care scheme, which is affordable and is customized for your needs.
