When it comes to our health, we can take feeling well for granted. But when something starts to affect our health we can suddenly become all too aware of how fragile we really are. Many health issues can affect us in different ways, mentally and physically. But it’s the concerns that affect our mobility that can cause us the most issue for living our lives moving forward. While sometimes we can’t predict when problems are going to strike, or what our children might be born with, it’s worth it to be aware of some of the health concerns that could have an impact on our families mobility. If anything, just to have the awareness. Arthritis Arthritis is a common condition that many of us will struggle with at some point in our lives. It causes pain and inflammation in a joint.

Here in the UK, we’re lucky to have a free healthcare service such as the NHS, yet more and more people are leaving the country to receive treatment. It’s so popular that the phrase ‘medical tourism’ has even been coined. But what is the allure of going abroad for healthcare? What is it that’s making people fork out all that money on medical bills and plane travel that they wouldn’t have at their local hospital. Here are a few reasons. To reduce waiting times Despite measures being made to reduce waiting times in UK hospitals, getting treated for something that isn’t considered ‘urgent’ can still take a matter of weeks. This is the result of multiple issues including funding and subsequent staff shortages. Those not wanting to wait such ridiculously long times opt to go private. But even private institutions in the UK can occasionally have their waiting times, especially…

It’s no secret that consuming too much alcohol can damage your health. That doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad, but, like most things, it does mean you should consume it in moderation. Everybody’s physical makeup is different, and some people might not feel the effects of several pints of alcohol if they live an otherwise-healthy lifestyle and have quite a substantial build, but others could be doing hidden damage to themselves, even if they don’t notice it. We all love to drink alcohol, and cutting out all the things we love out of our life isn’t the answer to being healthy. In fact, if you allowed yourself no treats in life, your mental health might suffer instead and you’d be back to square one. No, the point I’m trying to make is that we all have a tendency to over-consume the things we love. Whether that’s food, alcohol, cigarettes or even…

Taking medication can be a necessary part of life for some people, depending on their illness and a number of different factors. However, many people are taking medication needlessly. They are either taking more than they need to, or taking medication they don’t really need to take at all. Many studies have shown that when given medication that did absolutely nothing, a patient could potentially still improve their condition, not knowing that the medication was a placebo. This goes to show that much of what medication does for us is down to our thoughts and feelings about it. If you use the tips here, you may be able to minimize your medication: Start Meditating Meditation may seem silly to some, but you should never judge until you’ve tried it for yourself. Getting into a consistent routine can be difficult, but you don’t need to do it for hours each day…

When it comes to mental health, most of us have questions. The worrying thing is that we’re too afraid to ask them. Mental health has a stigma attached, and people simply aren’t comfortable talking about it in the same way as physiological problems. We hear the terms depression and anxiety on a daily basis. But what exactly are these conditions, and how can you spot the signs? Here are some of the most common mental health disorders explained. Anxiety Anxiety is a normal human emotion, but it’s also a mental health disorder. It’s normal to be anxious in certain scenarios. If you’re waiting for test results or you’re about to go into an interview, you’re bound to be nervous. If you have anxiety, you experience symptoms when you’re faced with scenarios that wouldn’t normally make you feel uneasy. People with anxiety tend to overthink, and they get very anxious about…

It’s often been said that the reason why healthcare costs are rising is because of “technology.” But a moment’s thought about this shows that it doesn’t make much sense. Technology almost always makes something cheaper, not more expensive. We can see the effect of technology, even brand new technologies like big data and AI, in the falling costs of manufactured goods. And we can see the powerful effect that technology has had in the agricultural sector, causing food prices to fall all over the world. The problem with healthcare is that there are so many other factors conspiring to make it more expensive: the aging population, for instance, means that there are more people with age-related diseases. The way the market is set up where some states only have a single supplier means that there is less competition to push prices down. And then there’s the fact that regulations tend…
