Meat and Your Health

Are you wondering if meat can help in your how to lose weight goal? With low-carb diets such as Atkins, it is becoming popular to take on a diet low in carbohydrates but high in proteins. These diets suppose that increasing the amount of proteins one eats is the best way to shed your pounds and meat is the best source of that protein. Is this really an effective way to lose weight?

Be wary of fad diets that promise immediate weight loss. Losing weight is about eating right and living the proper lifestyle than following some new diet. You can lose more weight by burning more calories than you consume. It’s not really about eating more meat or increasing your protein consumption. Not all meats are good for you; in fact, some actually cause you to gain weight. Meats such as pepperoni, ham, bacon, salami, and fried chicken are high in calories. By increasing your calorie intake, you cannot expect to shed your pounds. In fact by eating large amounts of meat, you can easily increase the number of calories you eat which will result in weight gain.

Further, by eating meat frequently you risk blocking your arteries, damaging your kidneys, and letting meat rot in your colon. Further, meat poisons your bloodstream and can cause diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Be careful of what diet you choose to follow; following a healthy one will ensure longevity and permanent weight loss. To get the benefit of all the protein in meat, you have to eat it raw or boiled. By cooking meat with a plethora of spices, most of the protein is washed away.

Do you still think the meat you eat still contain an abundance of protein? The amount of protein that you eat counts more than the type. Natural foods such as seeds and nuts are excellent sources of protein. In fact, often times they offer more protein than meat. These whole foods can serve as a source of protein and a great help to your how to lose weight goal. Eating healthily doesn’t have to be boring, especially if you add a variety of nuts to your meat intake.

There are a lot of details to consider when you are choosing a health care plan, whether it’s one offered through your employer or one you buy on your own. No matter what age you are, your health should be a primary concern, although young people often act as if they will live forever and sometimes postpone making health care decisions.

Here is a list of common mistakes that people make all the time when choosing a health care plan. They are in no particular order, and all are important to consider, carefully and completely. If you are not conversant with all the terminology or are finding it difficult to make the decisions, you should ask for help from a neutral third-party such as family member or friend. Don’t ask a health insurance company unless you want to hear a sales pitch!

Common mistakes

- You don’t check out your doctor, or any others – Although some healthcare plans require you to use a physician in their own network, other plans are more inviting. If you already have a physician, and are buying your own insurance, check with the doctor to see what plans he is a member of. If you do have to choose a new doctor, you should look into the health plan doctors’ credentials by contacting the AMA.

- You forget “location, location, location” – The location of your doctor or clinic, and the travel time required, are other factors you should consider when considering health care plans. Find out where the doctor is located and also look into the regular and emergency hours of the facility.

- You don’t consider specialists – If you already need specialist care, or think you may need to in the future, you need to know the health care plan’s procedures on using them. Some plans require you to contact a primary care physician, while others allow you to make specialist appointments directly.

- You don’t consider your own specialist – You should definitely find out if your current specialist is in the health care plan you are considering. If not, perhaps your specialist can refer you to one who is.

- You forget to check the policy on “pre-existing conditions” – Even though this should be a “no-brainer,” people forget to ask about the policies on pre-existing conditions. Coverage for pre-existing conditions varies widely among health plans. Some exclude them entirely, and will not even consider coverage, while others cover them fully. Many health care plans fall somewhere in the middle, offering coverage after a certain amount of time, or for a certain amount of time or expense. Rules promulgated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act guarantees you coverage for your pre-existing conditions if you join a new group plan offered by your employer after being insured the previous year.  Do your research to make sure you know what your policy covers.

Less common oversights

- You don’t ask about physicals and health screenings – Again, it seems an obvious thing to ask, but if you appreciate getting regular physicals and health screenings you should ensure that they are covered. Most “managed care” plans do cover these types of procedures, usually on an annual basis, but there are some plans that do not cover them. If you have children, make sure to ask if “well baby” check-ups, physicals and immunizations are covered.

- You forget about additional services – Everything, from prescription drug coverage to mental health care, is an important consideration. You need to consider which of the various additional services that you may need are, in fact, covered when you are comparing health care plans. Other examples of these additional services that may be important to you are drug and alcohol counseling and treatment, home health care, nursing home or extended care, hospices, experimental treatments, alternative and complementary medicine, chiropractic care and physical therapy.

Bottom line considerations

- You don’t price things out correctly – Once you know what you want in your health care plan you need to compare costs, and you need to do it right, which means covering all the bases. You will need to know exactly what deductibles must be paid first before the health care plan coverage starts paying, and don’t forget to ask if the deductible needs to be met before certain services can be utilized. Find out about “out of network” charges if you anticipate having to go beyond your plan facilities or physicians. Finally, there are co-payment, cap amounts and total-care limits you need to know about. Some plans have lifetime limits, some have lifetime and annual limits, and others have mixed formulas for making this determination. Get all the facts.

- You don’t check the exclusions – If you don’t read the exclusions list, you will not know what is not covered. You need to see if any condition you currently have, or that you expect to contract in the future, is included. This is an important bottom-line consideration since, if you don’t get this settled and dealt with up front, you will likely spend a great deal of money down the line to treat excluded conditions.

It is a difficult thing to look at your health in a dispassionate, dollar-oriented way, but that’s life. As we age, more of our energy goes into thinking and planning against death and disability, but the subject need not be morbid or depressing. Do your best to get a health care plan that covers what your particular needs are, and remind yourself that you are worth the trouble – and the expense.
