👵 Health Myth Check!

"Don't go to bed with wet hair... you'll catch a cold!"

Sound familiar?

❌ MYTH

You catch a cold from viruses, not from wet hair.

Sorry, Gran... this one's officially busted. 😄

💬 What health myth did your family always swear by?

🤱 World Breastfeeding Week

Fun Fact

Did you know?

Breast milk isn't the same at every feed. It naturally changes throughout a feed and as your baby grows, adapting to meet their changing nutritional needs.

Nature really is remarkable. 💙

🫁 World Lung Cancer Day

Your lungs work hard for you every single day. Today is a reminder to return the favour.

Knowing the signs, prioritising regular check-ups and seeking medical advice if something doesn't feel right can make a meaningful difference.

Take a deep breath. Take care of your health. 💙

💙 Medical Aid and Health Insurance are often confused, but they aren't the same.

Choosing the right option starts with understanding what each one is designed to do.

Medical Aid
Medical aid is designed to provide comprehensive healthcare cover. The benefits you receive depend on your chosen medical scheme option, and contributions are generally higher because of the broader level of cover.

Health Insurance
Health insurance provides cover for specific healthcare events and benefits outlined in your policy. It can be a more affordable option for people looking for essential healthcare protection.

Neither option is "better" than the other. The right choice depends on your healthcare needs, your budget and the type of cover you're looking for.

At Oneplan, our Health Insurance offers:
💙 Private hospital cover
💙 The freedom to visit any doctor
💙 Funds on your Oneplan Claim Card before your appointment
💙 Family discounts on selected plans

💬 Before today, did you know there was a difference between medical aid and health insurance?

Oneplan Health Insurance is not a medical scheme and the cover is not the same as that of a medical scheme.

💙 Understanding Insurance Terms

What is a Maximum Overall Limit?

A Maximum Overall Limit is the highest amount your policy will pay for a specific benefit during your policy period.

Once that limit has been reached, no further claims can be paid from that benefit until your policy renews.

Understanding your policy limits can help you make the most of your cover and avoid unexpected surprises when claiming.

🌿💙 Happy World Nature Conservation Day!

Looking after the planet is one of the simplest ways we can help protect our own health and the health of future generations.

Small actions can make a big difference:

💙 Reduce, reuse and recycle.
💙 Save water where you can.
💙 Choose reusable items over single-use plastics.
💙 Spend time outdoors and appreciate nature.
💙 Leave every place a little better than you found it.

Together, we can help create a healthier future for everyone.

💬 What's one small thing you do to help care for the environment?

💙 Cold Hack Check

You've probably heard this one before...

"If you cover yourself in Vicks, your cold will disappear faster."

❌ Myth.

Vicks VapoRub can help relieve symptoms like nasal congestion and coughing, making you feel more comfortable, but it doesn't cure the common cold or speed up your recovery.

The best way to help your body recover is to:
💙 Get plenty of rest.
💙 Stay hydrated.
💙 Eat nourishing foods.
💙 Follow the directions on any over-the-counter medicines you use.

💬 What's the craziest cold remedy you've ever been told to try?

💙 Great health cover is even better when it's shared.

💙 Feeling a little drained? You're not alone.

Mid-year fatigue is real, and after months of balancing work, family and everyday life, it's normal to feel like your energy is running low.

Here are a few simple ways to recharge:

💙 Prioritise a good night's sleep.
💙 Stay hydrated throughout the day.
💙 Get outside for a short walk or some fresh air.
💙 Take regular breaks away from your screen.
💙 Make time for activities that help you relax and reset.

Remember, looking after your health isn't just about treating illness. It's about taking care of yourself every day.

💬 What's your favourite way to beat the mid-year slump?

💙 Why donate blood?

Donating blood is one of the simplest ways to make a life-saving difference.

Here's why it matters:

🩸 One blood donation can help save up to three lives.
🩸 Blood is needed every day for emergencies, surgeries, cancer treatment and childbirth.
🩸 Donated blood cannot be manufactured. It can only come from generous donors.

Your donation could be exactly what someone needs.

💬 Have you donated blood before, or is it something you'd like to do in the future?
