In the work-from-home environment, even the danger from lifestyle diseases cannot be ruled out. Following a healthy-diet and wellness programme and an exercise regime could keep many of such unwanted ailments at bay. Sometimes hereditary but mostly with age the chance of having a life threatening life-style disease is financially a drain on the family. Of late, more and more people have started leading a healthy lifestyle backing it up with wellness programmes. This certainly helps but does not remove the risk of being hospitalised due to unforeseen events. The cost of hospitalisation, especially in urban locations, is increasing at a fast rate.

The need for adequate health cover is increasingly becoming critical and consequently choosing the right health insurance plan has become very important.
