Imagine that you have got you fully covered with a decent insurance policy that will pay you any amount for any illness. But, can it prevent your daily life, plans, job and family from getting messed up with totally unexpected health issues.
Insurance means, you pay some amount of your money to some company, sacrificing some of your comforts today, thinking that you can live a hassle-free life in the future. Of course, they will pay your medical bills. But, only to get you back to the same state you were in. So, what’s the real value it has added to your life? Today, you pay it to the insurance company and in the future, they will pay it to the hospital.
Further, as mentioned above, it can not save you from any other trouble than paying bills. You will have to do all the fire fighting on your own. No one can save you there.
On the contrary, if you invest in health, it will give you a better life today and minimize the chance of getting any major health issues in the future. Moreover, you can do it in a planned way without disturbing your other schedules and most importantly you won’t have to repent for being too late.
So, real Insurance is to invest in health, which will add value to your life today and tomorrow alike.
Invest in health, what it really means?
As the name suggests, investing means putting time, effort and money with the intention of getting a return in the future.
Similarly, investing in health means, putting time, effort and money on changing your lifestyle, behaviors, food patterns for better and gaining more knowledge on the subject, today itself, to live a healthier, happier and peaceful life in the future.
In other words, it is all about PREVENTION rather than CURE. So, the return of this investment is physical and mental well-being.
It will keep you fit and fun, help you work consistently, reduce the number of sick leaves you will have to take and finally help you pursue your dreams without distractions.
