The Business of Health - Fulfilling and Lucrative


I am sure you'd agree that the health business is one of the most lucrative yet fulfilling businesses there is in this planet today. Some people attribute it to the baby boomers who are by now in their senior years and need caregivers. Others say it is because of the number of babies born each minute. But I, I would say it is because of both and a lot more.

To evaluate the basis of my answer is to inspect the factors that affect health. These are political, socio-economic, spiritual, and all those -ial words that you normally hear of. But I do want to focus on the first three I have mentioned. Political would include civil wars, wars, laws etc. Will these affect morbidity and mortality? Of course it will. In fact, it will surely add up to the number of those who will need health care services.

Next, socio-economic. I come from a country where poverty abounds. The observation we have is that the poorer the state of the family, the more children there are. Why? Well, first because intercourse becomes a recreation. Procreation and recreation - they do rhyme don't they? he he he. Second is that methods for birth control may not be affordable and thus the couple resorts to the less expensive methods which are less effective too. third, is that there may be a lack of information on the use of contraceptives. Whatever the reason, the more babies, the more people. The bigger the population, the higher the need for health care.

Spiritual - well, according to some, it may be a sin to use the modern methods of health and thus result to the natural method. Again, more babies.

Do we see a pattern? Naturally, the more babies equals increase in population equals inrease in health care requirement. Ergo, increase in profits for the businessman. Well, that is if you run your business with a good reputation and standards. What are these businesses that may thrive in such a global crisis that is being experienced presently? Well, food supplements for one. It's but natural because we don't want to be spending on hospital and medical bills that are more costly. I do recommend waiora more specifically the healthy Aging caplets and the Natural Cellular Defense. I've taken these. My whole family has tried them and we all attest to the efficacy of the supps. In fact some of my mom's friends and mine too give their testimony about how the products have helped them in some way. My mom is into the business. You may want to give her a call at (818) 4009751. Ask for Lucy Garcia.

Insurance companies. My recommendation is Manulife. It is company that has a high adherence to professionalism and integrity.

And lately, swimming. Yes, swimming. I've realized from my daughter's coach that indeed there are but a few coaches with the so many millions of people. There is just a lack of information dissemination on the benefits of swimming. If you have read my other blog, you'd know that I am currently busy preparing for a series of swimming competitions. I've been informed by some that the reason the children are not able to compete is because they need to focus on their studies. Focusing on studies is good but then there should be time alloted for exercise which makes the body and the brain function at its best. A good body makes for an intelligent individual. Because of this, I've come up with the idea of repackaging swimming as a part of a healthy lifestyle and we're now working on having a mini exhibit that will feature products that have something to do with health. The exhibit will be done simultaneously with the competition.

Oh, well. I do hope the business people will have companies that encourage living a healthy lifestyle. There should be provisions for addressing the need of the sick people but there should be more emphasis on how they can avoid getting sick in the first place. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
