LISTENING- COMMONLY-HELD BELIEFS

IF YOU ARE WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT, WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU EAT, NOT WHEN YOU EAT IT. A CALORIE AT MIDDAY IS NO DIFFERENT FROM A CALORIE AT MIDNIGHT

BEING EXPOSED TO COLD TEMPERATURES LOWERS OUR BODY’S DEFENCES, SO THAT MEANS THAT IF YOU GET COLD, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO BECOME INFECTED BY A COLD, OR TO DEVELOP A COLD IF YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN INFECTED

METAL PIPES ARE EXCELLENT CONDUCTORS OF ELECTRICITY, AS IS TAP WATER

READING IN THE DARK OR IN BAD LIGHT CAN CAUSE A TEMPORARY STRAIN ON THE EYES, BUT IT RAPIDLY GOES AWAY ONCE YOU RETURN TO BRIGHT LIGHT

SOME LUCKY PEOPLE PRODUCE CHEMICALS WHICH EITHER PREVENT MOSQUITOES FROM DETECTING THEM OR WHICH ACTUALLY DRIVE THEM AWAY

BOTTLED WATER (MINERAL WATER) ISN´T SUBJECTED TO THE SAME REGULAR TESTING THAT TAP WATER IS, AND IN SOME TESTS THAT WERE DONE IN THE U.S A THIRD OF THE SAMPLES ANALYSED WERE CONTAMINATED

private or state health systems?

State Health Systems: Advantages

• Good healthcare should be available to everyone for free.
• State healthcare is paid by the government using money from taxes.
• Everyone has access to the same quality of care and treatment.
• Private healthcare is unfair because only wealthy people can afford it. Private healthcare creates inequality
• Private healthcare doesn´t cover all medical services.
• The National Health Service (NHS) in Spain provides free healthcare for every resident.
• Patients must pay the monthly costs of private insurance whether they need the services or not.

Private Healthcare: Disadvantages

• You get what you pay for: the more cover you want, the higher your premium will be.
• It can be difficult to know which PMI (private medical Insurance) policy suits you
• You can't predict illness: you might develop a condition that isn't covered.
• Expertise: private hospitals might not have the same depth of expertise found in teams within the NHS or all departments on one site

Private Healthcare: Advantages

• State hospitals are often very large and difficult to run.
• Private hospitals have shorter waiting lists for operations and appointments.
• Patients can benefit from faster treatment.
• Many people prefer to pay for a more personal service.
• Patients have their own room and more comfortable facilities.
• unrestricted visiting hours for guests.
• Patients may request a specialist when they feel that they need a specialist without waiting for a referral from a doctor.
• You choose your doctor
