Correlation Between Human Body And Mind

Each affects the other, but it's much more complicated, above and below.

We tend to think of physical health as the physical fitness of the body. Physical health begins with genetics and nutrition, which feed the health of your cells and tissues, which create the health of your bodily organs, including your brain, and your bodily systems, including the sensory and another system of your body and brain.

Above the level of the physical brain, we have the mind, the 'thinking part' of the brain, and the thought patterns we encourage and discourage in our day-to-day living. The mind and the brain also give rise to your spirits, happy, sad, excited, elated, depressed, etc. And your mind interacts with other people around you, in your communities. This illustrates the hierarchy of life, and the hierarchy of healthcare: genetics, nutrients, cells, tissues organs, bodily systems, body, minds, spirits, and communities.

Every layer affects every other layer. You can eat foods that depress or excite your spirits. Some people are genetically happy most of the time. Others are genetically more somber. If your communities, the people you spend your time with are innovative, adventurous, you will become more innovative and adventurous, perhaps more risk-taking. If your community is more caring and sharing, your mental health will be more aligned to caring and sharing. If your brain loses oxytocin, due to a systemic or dietary problem, or a hereditary factor, you will be less sharing and caring.

So, When you improve your physical health, you tend to improve every layer in the hierarchy. And when you improve any layer in the hierarchy, you improve your mental health. If you improve your physical health, by working with your communities, there are more benefits. If you improve your physical health by eating a better diet, there are more benefits.

If you or your family member is suffering from a disease, you should get a medical bracelets. If they will be wearing a medical bracelet you will have peace of mind and will be able to focus on your work. In case of any medical emergency, it will alert the relevant team and share all the details regarding medical history. You can mention your contact number as an emergency contact number, so if anything happens they will contact you immediately.

An example of physical health impacts mental health is this that when we eat more junk food we tend to feel unnecessarily bored. Our mood changed frequently. We feel down. And when you do proper exercise and have good food you feel so much energy throughout the day.

So this is how physical and mental health is interrelated. So you should learn from your own experiences. When you do certain things you will get certain types of results, so accordingly change the cause if you don’t like the result.

Use the Social Competencies in Worksite Wellness Table, provided in the Resources, to compare and contrast the typical wellness needs of employees in each of the following workplace settings:

A large automotive plant in Detroit.

A single fast food store in Texas.

Your workplace (or school) community.

Write no more than a few phrases or brief sentences in each table cell. For the purposes of this particular assignment, it is not necessary to conduct exhaustive research, or to investigate any particular real-world workplace. Instead, search for general information based on the type of workplace, its size, and its general location. Keep track of your resources in order to include them in your references list. Notice any statistical trends that may emerge. Focus on discovering the distinctive needs of employees in each setting.

Address the following health care competencies for employees in each of the three environments:

Probable Number and Age of Employees: How many people work at the site, and how old are they, on average? Are there specific health care needs associated with this age group?

Probable Ethnicity of Employees: What are the ethnicities of the employees? Are there health care needs specific to these ethnic groups? Provide typical population percentages, if possible.

Probable Task Health and Safety Needs: What health and safety needs are presented by the job tasks performed by employees? For example, at the fast food restaurant, burn injuries may be a danger. At the motor company, injuries could occur due to repetitive motion, poor lighting, or accidents involving machines.

Probable Hierarchy of Needs: Using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (refer to the Unit 5 Studies, speculate on the likeliest needs level motivating employees in this workplace setting.

Individual Focus Change: Consider what individual employees could do to improve their own health and safety at the site.

Community Focus Change: Consider what you, as a health care manager, could do to establish a healthy worksite community.

Policy Focus Change: What policies would you implement?

Social Marketing: How would you market the policies you would propose to the employees?

Remember to address the wellness needs of the employees, not of the consumers who buy the products or services.

two more pages of elaboration to how Trumpcare and Obamacarerelates to health care finance. 30 resources

Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), waspassed in 2010 as a health care insurance plan for all Americans.The law made many changes to the existing minimum coverage ininsurance, and increase the federal subsidies for the middle-incomehouseholds of the country. Trumpcare, also known as the AmericanHealth Care Act (AHCA), is a replacement health insurance plandesigned to partly repeal the existing ACA. The new healthcarebill, is one step closer to repealing . The nonpartisanCongressional Budget Office (CBO) has an estimate with ACA as thelaw of the land, the uninsured Americans would be 28 million willremain stable for the next decade. The analysis of an earlierversion of the bill, there is an estimate of 54 million could beuninsured by 2026 in case of implementation of the AHCA. The ACAhave provision to impose penalty on consumers who can afford to buyhealth insurance but do not do so, known as the individual mandatepayment. it’s paid when you file your federal tax return. Thispenalty can be either 2.5% of income up to the totalyearly premium or $695 per person up to $2,085, whichever ishigher. AHCA eliminates the individual mandate and offers anincentive to consumers who maintain insurance coverage: insurancecompanies can charge a 30% penalty who buy health insurance afterhad a gap in required coverage exceeding 63 days. The 30% penaltywould apply for 12 months. The ACA requires that all major healthpolicies sold to consumers offer coverage for 10 categories ofessential health benefits: Outpatient services, Emergency services, Maternity and newborn care, Hospitalization. Prescriptionmedication , Mental health and substance abuse services, Laboratoryservices. Pediatric services, Rehabilitation services, includingvision and oral. Preventative, wellness, and chronic diseasemanagement services. The AHCA eliminates these protections bygiving a waiver to define what they consider essential healthbenefits. States could allow insurance companies to sell plans thatdo not cover prescription drugs or maternity care. The ACA and AHCAhave the same rules for newborns. A baby can be added to familyexisting health insurance plan or can buy a new plan to give coverthe baby. AHCA is making major changes in the health insurance byreducing the requirements and making change in the structure oftotal offered government subsidies. On the analysis, the CBO hasreported the current changes would make health insurance moreaffordable for few customers. Obamacare: The ACA increased Medicaretaxes for the households having incomes above $250,000. Thelegislation gave some tax credits to middle-income earners to helpthem pay out-of-pocket health expenses. The AHCA repeals taxes ofprevious insurance plan. It was mandatory for the companiesemploying more than 50 employees to offer health insurance or pay apenalty. Trumpcare: The mandatory insurance of employees andpenalty has been repealed under Senate plan. Insurance fordependents under 26 (Obamacare) : It requires insurer that thechildren under the age of 26 are allowed to be covered under theparent's policy. Trumpcare: Well this requirement is not repealedby trump care. Trumpcare: Pre-existing condition coverage(Obamacare):The insurer is prohibited fromdenying coverage or charging more to individuals whohave pre-existing medical conditions. Trumpcare: Gives states theability to opt-out of requirements that insurers charge the samepremiums for healthy and sick customers. Women care (Obamacare): Itis mandatory for the insurance companies to provide core servicesincluding maternity care and contraceptives and the insurancecompanies are prohibited from charging women more than men for thesame health plan. Planned Parenthood receives federal funding forfamily planning and other medical services used by Medicaidrecipients. Abortion cannot be funded with federal dollars.Trumpcare: Insurance companies prohibited from charging women morefor health insurance, but states could apply for waivers that allowthem to drop coverage for maternity care and contraceptives. Thebill also bans women from using government money to buy plans thatcovers abortion and ends non-abortion Medicaid reimbursement toPlanned Parenthood, a non-profit group that provides abortionservices in some of its clinics, for one year. Older Americans(Obamacare):The insurer are not allowed to charge the olderAmericans more than three times the cost for younger Americans.Trumpcare: States can receive waivers to allow them to charge olderAmericans more. Insurance marketplaces (Obamacare) : The Obamacaremarketplaces, such as HealthCare.gov, enable people who don't gethealth benefits at work to compare plans, just as they mightcompare hotel rooms or airline tickets online. All plans on themarketplaces must offer a basic set of benefits, such as hospitalcare, mental health services and prescription drugs. Trumpcare:Under both the House and Senate bills, it is unclear how themarketplaces would work because insurers might potentially offerhealth plans that do not offer the same set of benefits.
