Know What Your Medical Plan Covers

There is a big danger today with your health insurance when you don’t know what the fine print is saying.  Often, people get saddled with large bills because they didn’t realize that their lab tests weren’t covered – or they didn’t realize that their doctor wasn’t on their plan.

Be careful to know what is on your plan and what isn’t so you don’t get stuck with unexpected bills.

Health Myths Discussed with Cinergy Health

While most people agree that you should drink 8 glasses of water every single day – this is not necessarily based in research.  It’s most important to know your own body and your own needs.  There is no scientific evidence to support the 8 glasses of water a day rule.

Rather, as one study found, the amount of water that you need depends on your specific health issues - you should drink the water over the course of the day and not all at once.

Another discussion about health issues involves exercise.  Certainly, exercise is important for your physical fitness.  However, you shouldn’t over-exercise and you need to have an appropriate resting period, according to the CDC.  If you don’t give your body a break between work outs, you might have bone and muscle injuries and more aches and pains.  Cinergy Health recommends, Give yourself a day to recoup. Exercise should give you more strength and power—not drain you.

Children & Obesity

Cinergy Health explains the psychological dangers of childhood obesity.  We all know that there are health risks attached to obesity, but we don’t often focus on the psychological consequences and lasting effects.

Mmany formal studies have suggested a relationship between self esteem and health.  Obese teenagers are less likely to use birth control and have higher rates of teen pregnancy; they are more likely to use tobacco and alcohol and to attempt suicide.  Obese girls are almost four times more likely than others to suffer major depression and anxiety disorders as adults.

Fortunately, obese children do have a bright future. The government is placing great emphasis on this issue today since childhood obesity is a great economic problem for the health care system, in addition to the psychological consequences and other ramifications.  Michelle Obama, the Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and Department of Agriculture are all placing childhood obesity as a high priority.
