 What are the 4 basic types of insurance? How does insurance work?


### **The Four Basic Types of Insurance**


Insurance can be categorized into several types, but four basic types are widely recognized as essential for individuals and families. These are:



---


### **1. Life Insurance**  

**Purpose:** Provides financial support to your family or dependents in the event of your death.


- **How It Works:**  

  - The policyholder pays premiums to the insurer.  

  - If the policyholder passes away while the policy is active, the insurer pays a death benefit to the beneficiaries.  

  - Policies can be **term-based** (covering a specific time period) or **permanent** (lifetime coverage with savings/investment components).


- **Key Features:**  

  - Protects loved ones from financial hardship.  

  - Can help cover debts, education expenses, or daily living costs.  


---


### **2. Health Insurance**  

**Purpose:** Covers medical expenses, including doctor visits, surgeries, and prescriptions.  


- **How It Works:**  

  - The policyholder pays premiums and sometimes additional costs like deductibles or copayments.  

  - The insurer covers eligible healthcare expenses according to the terms of the policy.  

  - Coverage may be for preventive care, emergencies, chronic illnesses, or specialist treatments.  


- **Key Features:**  

  - Prevents financial strain from high medical costs.  

  - Often provided by employers or purchased individually.  


---


### **3. Auto Insurance**  

**Purpose:** Provides financial protection for vehicle-related risks, including accidents, theft, and damage.  


- **How It Works:**  

  - Drivers pay premiums based on factors like driving history, vehicle type, and location.  

  - In the event of an accident or covered event, the insurer compensates for damages or injuries up to the policy limits.  


- **Key Features:**  

  - Liability coverage is often mandatory in most jurisdictions.  

  - Additional coverage options include collision and comprehensive policies.  


---


### **4. Property Insurance**  

**Purpose:** Protects homes, buildings, and personal belongings against risks like fire, theft, and natural disasters.  


- **How It Works:**  

  - Policyholders pay premiums based on the value of the property and the type of coverage.  

  - If damage or loss occurs due to a covered peril, the insurer pays for repairs or replacements.  


- **Key Features:**  

  - Includes homeowners insurance, renters insurance, and landlord policies.  

  - May cover both the structure and its contents.

### **How Does Insurance Work?**


Insurance is a financial arrangement where risk is transferred from an individual or entity (the insured) to an insurance company (the insurer). Here's a step-by-step explanation:


#### **1. Application and Underwriting**  

- The policyholder applies for coverage, providing details about their risk profile (e.g., health, property value, driving record).  

- The insurer assesses the risk (underwriting) to decide:  

  - Whether to offer coverage.  

  - The premium amount based on the level of risk.  


#### **2. Paying Premiums**  

- The insured pays regular premiums (monthly, quarterly, or annually) to keep the policy active.  

- These payments form a pool of funds used by the insurer to cover claims.


#### **3. Coverage Period**  

- The policy specifies the terms, including:  

  - What is covered (e.g., medical bills, vehicle damage).  

  - Exclusions (what isn’t covered).  

  - Policy limits (the maximum amount the insurer will pay).  


#### **4. Filing a Claim**  

- If a covered event occurs, the insured files a claim with the insurer.  

- The insurer evaluates the claim to verify if the event is covered and determines the payout amount.


#### **5. Compensation**  

- If approved, the insurer compensates the insured for the covered losses, either by paying directly to service providers (e.g., hospitals, repair shops) or reimbursing the insured.  


#### **6. Risk Pooling**  

- Insurance companies rely on pooling risk.  

  - Many people pay premiums, but only a small percentage file claims.  

  - This allows insurers to cover large losses for those who experience them.

### **Key Principles That Govern Insurance**


1. **Utmost Good Faith:** Both parties must provide complete and honest information.  

2. **Indemnity:** The insured is compensated to restore them to their financial position before the loss (not for profit).  

3. **Insurable Interest:** The insured must have a legitimate interest in the item or person insured.  

4. **Proximate Cause:** Only losses caused directly by covered events are eligible for compensation.  


---


### **Benefits of Insurance**


- **Financial Protection:** Shields against unexpected costs.  

- **Legal Compliance:** Certain types (e.g., auto insurance) are mandatory.  

- **Peace of Mind:** Reduces stress by providing a safety net.  

- **Encourages Savings:** Some policies, like whole life insurance, also function as investment vehicles.

By understanding the types of insurance and how they work, individuals and businesses can make informed decisions to safeguard their financial future. 

How does Pantop work when eaten with gastric?

 How does Pantop work when eaten with gastric?


Acid is produced in the stomach every day, which helps in digesting food. This acid must be released from the stomach for digestion. But sometimes, for some reason, more acid is produced than required. It is called gastric.



Increased acid causes heartburn, heartburn and loss of appetite. In this case, the medicine taken for relief is pentaprazole. Pentaprazole is a proton pump inhibitor drug. This drug is colloquially known as pan top. The proton pump is the digestive juice, which is in the stomach layer. This medicine controls the secretion of digestive juices.





In what situation to use?


- Digestive problems especially when there is too much acid from the stomach or gas



- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (regurgitation after eating)


- In case of swelling in the esophagus, which carries food through the mouth to the stomach. (This problem causes chest burning, discomfort and loss of appetite.)


- Heartburn (For heartburn, medicine should be taken only on the advice of a doctor. Because heartburn can sometimes be caused by heart problems.)


- Ulcer problems


- If there is a tumor in the stomach


How does it work?


This drug belongs to proton class. When our stomach produces more acid than necessary, in that case sour belching, stomach ache and reluctance to eat occur. In this case, the work of this drug is to reduce or stop the amount of acid by disrupting the work of cells that produce acid in the stomach. As soon as its quantity decreases, the symptoms related to stomach pain will decrease.


This medicine also prevents the negative effects on the esophagus caused by acid.


How to take this medicine, when to take it?


It is a medicine that is swallowed by keeping it in the mouth with water. It should not be broken or chewed. But while taking medicine, it should not be taken on the basis of Hachuva. It is necessary to consult a doctor before taking any medicine.


This medicine should always be taken on an empty stomach. And, if you take it only occasionally, you should take a small amount.



How much to take depends on the health condition. It is a normal condition, one can be taken in the case of belching and sour water coming into the mouth. In many cases, it may be necessary to take more. Which is determined by the doctor.


In what condition should this medicine not be taken?


Women with liver disease, lack of calcium in the blood, low levels of magnesium, potassium, pregnancy and breastfeeding women should not take this medicine.


Does any medicine interact with this medicine?


People who are taking Atazanavir, Nelfinavir, Amplicin, Delaviserdine, Iron Salt, Ketoconazole should not take this medicine. Because these drugs can react with Pantop drugs and cause other side effects.


Should not be used for a long time?


It doesn't make any difference to eat pantop sometimes. But if you eat more, it can be harmful. Some people have a habit of taking this medicine when they have a stomach ache. If you eat this way continuously, it can cause problems such as weakening of bones, polyps (meat growth) in the stomach.


How fast does it give results?


This medicine starts working two hours after taking it. Its effect lasts for 24 hours. It may take up to four weeks to see its effectiveness and relief from symptoms.



This drug is sold in three forms.


– 20 mg delayed-release oral tablet


– 40 mg delayed-release oral tablet


– 40 mg granules for delayed-release oral suspension


In some cases, this drug is also given through a needle.


How to store?


This medicine should be kept in a very cool, dry and safe place. And, it should be kept away from the reach of children. Also, it should not be kept in the sun and damp places.

How does the kidney work?

 How does the kidney work?


According to the famous medical journal "The Lancet", by the year 2019, around 700 million people worldwide are suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is estimated that more than 14 lakhs have lost their lives.



According to a national study based on Global Burden of Disease data (coordinated by Achyutaraj Pandey), 6-7 percent of the total population in Nepal are suffering from chronic kidney disease, while the death rate is two to three per million.


The kidney is an organ that filters out the excess water and impurities in the human body and sends them out of the body through urine. Each bean-shaped kidney is four to five inches long. In which there is a very small filter called nephron. Senior kidney disease expert Prof. This filter will send blood disorders and excess water out of the body. Dr. Divya Singh Shah says.


The kidney's job is to balance fluid levels in the body, filter waste and toxins from the blood, secrete hormones that control blood pressure, activate vitamin D to maintain healthy bones, and produce hormones (which direct the production of red blood cells).


Consultant Urologist Dr. Anil Pukar Sah says, 'Kidney plays an important role in maintaining the balance of minerals (sodium, phosphorus, potassium) in the blood.'




Kidneys filter about 200 liters of blood in 24 hours. In addition to removing the disordered substances in the blood through this process, Dr. Dr. will balance the amount of water in the body by taking out excess water through urine. Shah says.


Structure of kidney


There are two kidneys in the body. Kidneys are located behind the abdomen on both sides of the spine.


In an adult, the kidney is about 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 4 cm thick. Each kidney weighs about 150 to 170 grams.


What effect does drinking a little water have on the kidneys?


The function of the kidneys is to filter the toxins in the body and remove them with urine. As the process of removing more water from the body - diarrhea, vomiting and sweating, and drinking less water, the blood pressure in the body decreases.




"When the blood pressure drops, the heart cannot circulate blood to the kidneys in the required amount, which affects the work done by the kidneys. Because of this, kidney disease specialist Dr. Nishant Acharya says.


Drinking less water in such a situation increases the risk of accumulating toxins in the body. Which also affects kidney function. In addition, there is a risk of kidney stones, kidney infection and even kidney failure," he says. "Therefore, to keep the kidneys healthy, you should drink three to four liters of water every day."


How does drinking a lot of water affect the kidneys?


As it is said, "If you eat too much of a pill, it will be bitter", Dr. Dr. Acharya says.


If you have to drink three to four liters of water daily, drinking four and a half liters or five liters of water will not have much effect. But drinking a lot of water on a daily basis puts a burden on the kidneys and can cause problems in the kidneys, he says.


A person who already has kidney problems has a reduced ability of the kidneys to filter water. Therefore, such patients should drink less water. Such people should drink water according to the doctor's advice.




Many organs of our body are active 24 hours a day, including the kidneys. Dr. The kidneys are doing their work even while sleeping at night. Acharya says.


Kidney is a careful organ. It can do what the body needs and doesn't need in a natural way," he says. "If someone goes without drinking water for a day, fasts, the kidneys manage the water that the body needs from other parts of the body."


Other causes of kidney problems


Kidney problems can happen to anyone, but people with diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and those who regularly take pain relievers are at higher risk. Similarly, if someone in the family has a kidney problem, other family members are also likely to have it. Senior nephrologist Prof. Dr. Singh says.


Symptoms of kidney failure


Pvt. Dr. Singh says, 'When you wake up in the morning, swelling of the eyelids, swelling of the ankles, body swelling, sudden weight gain, anemia, laziness, feeling tired, shortness of breath even after walking a little are the symptoms of kidney failure.'


There are also problems like bone pain, frequent urination, not much foam coming out when passing urine, and the color of urine is like tea.


Some kidney problems may not show any symptoms. But sometimes stomach ache, burning urine, fever may occur. If such a problem repeats, it may be a kidney problem," said Dr. Singh says.


What is the treatment for kidney failure?


After kidney failure, you should first go to the hospital and undergo tests to find out which stage it is. In Nepal, most of the people with chronic kidney problems go to the doctor only as a last resort.




There are five stages of kidney failure. The fifth stage is the last stage. Patients up to the fourth stage are cured by taking medicine. If it is in the first stage, it will not go to the second, if it is in the second, it will not go to the third. But medicine should be taken regularly.


But if the patient has reached the last i.e. fifth stage, dialysis and kidney transplant are the only options.
