Running m stemina k liye vitamin ki goli leni chahiya ya nahi

Ans: Dear Aarti,

Thank you for your query. For increasing stamina, you don't need vitamin supplements, but rather a focus on strength, endurance, and protein. To improve stamina, it's important to engage in regular exercise, such as running, strength training, and cardio workouts. Additionally, a protein-rich diet is crucial as it helps with muscle recovery and growth.

Vitamins by themselves do not directly boost energy or stamina; instead, they support overall health. If you are following a balanced diet, you typically do not need extra vitamin supplements. However, if you have a specific deficiency, such as Vitamin D or B12, you can consider supplements after consulting a doctor.

For strength training and to ensure you’re doing the right exercises safely, it’s recommended to visit a physiotherapist. They can guide you through exercises tailored to your needs, helping you build strength and improve stamina effectively.

I am Sanjeev Kumar, aged 58, working with a reputed public limited company at a senior level. Our company mandates annual health check up from reputed hospitals in Delhi and I am covered under a floater medical insurance plan. I was diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation more than a couple of years ago and taking two tablets per day (one Beta blocker and one blood thinner) as a precaution as per doctor. Otherwise I am physically fit and active (I successfully run half marathon for last more than 10 years). I intend to have another medical indurance as I am approaching retirement age but insurance companies are reluctant to provide me the same. Please advise what type of medical insurance cover I should have (for self and my wife, 55 yrs) and from which companies! Is online plan okay?
Ans: Hello;

If you have a known illness of the heart unfortunately hardly any general insurance company will come forward to cover you despite other positives.

Because insurance works on probability and when they reckon that probability of claim, in future based on current information, may be high they refuse to underwrite such risks.

Since you are an employee of a public sector company, I suppose your employer may have some group mediclaim plan or coverage for the retirees as well.

Take that coverage even if you have to pay and undergo a waiting period.

Alternatively you may earmark some fixed sum 8-10 L as medical contingency fund for yourself.

For your spouse you should opt for a minimum 25 L healthcare cover from companies such as HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz, SBI General etc which do not entirely depend on healthcare insurance as the only business segment.

Best wishes;
