According to a medical study, the risk of Indians contracting coronary heart disease is around 3 to 4 times higher than that of Americans.

With the lack of social bonding and the lopsided work-life balance accentuating anxiety level among urban Indians in the confinement period and triggering heart disease risks, the number of cardiovascular ailment cases is expected to increase exponentially amid the pandemic.

In fact, the COVID-19 led restrictions have heightened stress and hypertension among urban people in the absence of social bonding and networking and underscored heart complications in the past few months.

The health research findings of the increasing risks of heart disease during the pandemic are relevant for all of us. At the same time, buying comprehensive health insurance for oneself and family members is an equally important step because medical care is expensive. It creates health and financial security

Growing up in Fayette County, Melanie Seiler was surrounded by an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities — rock climbing, white water rafting and hiking — just to name a few.

“I had opportunities to experience outdoor recreation through my family’s business,” Seiler shared. “For a long time, I thought everyone had that access.”

But as she grew older, especially while she was in high school, she realized not everyone had the same type of access to or knowledge of the adventures awaiting them in their backyards.

“When I saw that disconnect in my peers, in people not knowing where local trails were or how to access the river (much less paddle on it), it left an impression on me,” Seiler said. “I saw it impacting health, hopelessness and opportunities for employment.”

When the opportunity arose in 2015 for Seiler to lead Active Southern West Virginia, she couldn’t pass the chance

BOCA RATON, FL, Sept. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When international health and wellness brands want to export their products to the United States, they turn to Mitch Gould and Nutritional Products Internationa l.

Gould, whose retail career spans four decades, founded NPI because he saw overseas companies struggling when they tried to sell products to American consumers.

Gould said it is a daunting task because the companies have to build brand awareness.

“I created the ‘Evolution of Distribution’ platform to provide all the services these entrepreneurial companies need,” Gould said. “We have a food scientist, logistics expert, professional sales team, and a marketing agency specializing in promoting brands in

New York, NY – ( NewMediaWire ) – September 28, 2020 – Working from home has become commonplace due to the coronavirus pandemic. The concept of working where we live seems like a generally safe one, and it is currently being practiced to limit the spread of COVID-19. However, wellness coach Bobby Chacko recently explained working from home can have adverse health effects too.

Bobby Chacko explained that working from home often means more time spent

Blue Cross NC said it is funding cards from the monies received from the federal government following litigation related to the Affordable Care Act temporary risk corridor program.

In April, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government is required to follow-through on the promise of the ACA risk corridor program that covered years 2014 through 2016.

While not intended to protect insurers from all losses in the ACA marketplace, the risk corridor program provided an appropriate and necessary backstop on losses for insurers that were willing to serve people in the new marketplace.

In addition to the health and wellness retail cards, Blue Cross NC applied the remaining risk corridor funds to help keep 2021 rates for many of its customers lower.

For 2021, Blue Cross NC said that ACA plans offered to individuals will be reduced by an average of 1% percent on a statewide basis —

Introduction

While the usage of cigarettes has declined dramatically over the last several decades, the fact remains that there are still 5.3 trillion cigarettes sold annually, world-wide, which translates into 265 billion packs. The average price today is $6.65 per pack, which generates annual revenues, world-wide, of $1,762 trillion.

E-cigarettes have been marketed as a safer alternative to regular cigarettes. However, the fact is that vaping products do contain Nicotine, which of course, is very addictive. E-cigarettes have been linked to increased blood pressure, heart disease, gum infection, lung disease, as well as brain development effects. And yet, according to a recent Gallop Poll, 20% of people age 18-29 vape, compared to 9% in the 30-49 age bracket. According to the World Health Organization, 41 million people used e-cigarettes in 2018 and it is projected that this number will grow to an estimated 55 million by next year.
