Why the Latest Fad Diet Probably Won’t Work

Posted on: November 18, 2013 By: Kevin Tavakoli

With the growing obesity problem constantly in the news, it seems as if a new and popular diet springs up every few months. Celebrities hop on the bandwagon, touting great weight losses in a short amount of time. What they don’t show is how most of them put the weight right back on after they quit the diet. This can end up costing you in the long run, from higher insurance rates to bigger doctor bills.

Most fad diets are based on cutting out a particular food group, or restricting your diet to only a few certain foods. Nutritionists say this can be dangerous in the long term, because you’re missing out on important nutrients. Our bodies need protein, which is missing in juice diets and cleanses, and the fats and carbohydrates that many of the one-ingredient (cabbage soup, potato, pineapple) diets omit. No one can stay on these diets for long without feeling sick, and when they go back to their old eating patterns, the weight comes back on.

Useful Items For Your Glove Compartment

Posted on: November 15, 2013 By: Kevin Tavakoli

Every driver should have an emergency kit in the trunk that includes a first aid kit and other items useful if you break down on the road. Sometimes, however, there are times when you need an item and you can’t or don’t want to get out of the car. This is why you should keep a small group of important items in your glove box.

  • A window breaking tool can save your life if you get swept away in a flood or otherwise find your car underwater. If your electric windows short out, this can be the only way to get out.
  • A cell phone charger and GPS unit that plug into the car. Both can save you if you’re lost.
  • A squeeze flashlight that doesn’t need batteries.
  • A pair of gloves, both for cold days and to protect your hands if you have to break a window.
  • A small collapsible umbrella.
  • A small first aid kit.

Car Thefts On The Rise: Protect Your Vehicle!

Posted on: November 6, 2013 By: Kevin Tavakoli

California has seen a disproportionate increase in car theft compared with other states in recent years. The good news is that there is now better information available regarding the habits of auto thieves—and it’s more readily accessible. You can help prevent theft of your property by keeping the following in mind.

  • Always make sure your windows are rolled up and your doors are locked. Thieves look for easy targets.
  • Keep your keys out of plain sight at home, and don’t mark them with your name or address—this could be disastrous if they are ever lost and fall into the wrong hands.
  • Don’t leave valuables (such as electronics) visible inside your car. Pack them away before your trip, as don’t want anyone to see you shifting possessions into your trunk or glove compartment.
  • Invest in an alarm system if you have a high-end or often-stolen model of car. Tracking devices and immobilizers are also gaining popularity.

Posted on: November 4, 2013 By: Kevin Tavakoli

Dental Plans Enable You to Maintain Your Teeth and Gums Without Spending a Small Fortune

Posted on: November 1, 2013 By: Kevin Tavakoli

Taking proper care of your oral health is an important part of a preventive health plan, but dental procedures are often costly. If you have dental insurance or a dental plan, you can receive a check-up, have X-rays taken, get your teeth cleaned and have cavities filled without having to worry about paying high fees.

The beauty of a Save-On Health Insurance Services, Inc. dental insurance plan is that it is relatively inexpensive, and the amount of money you save for simple maintenance visits more than pays for the amount you spend on insurance premiums. If you have a job, find out if you can get a group dental insurance plan that costs even less money than private coverage.

Dental plans also help pay for expenses that cost more than general maintenance procedures. A crown can cost more than $1,000, but if you have a good dental insurance plan that provides you with dental care in Los Angeles, California, you will pay a considerably less sum of money for the same crown.

For more information about the importance of having dental insurance coverage for the proper maintenance of your teeth and gums in Los Angeles, California please contact Save-On Health Insurance Services, Inc.

What Does Having A Grandfathered Plan Mean?

Posted on: October 30, 2013 By: Kevin Tavakoli

Representatives of Save-On Health Insurance Services, Inc. want you to know that if you were covered by a major health insurance plan in the Los Angeles, California, area before or on March 23, 2010, you may have a grandfathered plan. A grandfathered plan is a plan that continues to offer the same benefits as those offered prior to or on March 23, 2010.

Whether or not you have a grandfathered plan depends on the grandfathered date of the actual plan rather than the date on which you enrolled in the plan. If a grandfathered plan still continues to exist, and you wish to enroll in the plan after March 23, 2010, you are still enrolled in a grandfathered plan.

Grandfathered plans include health plans covered by major health insurance providers such as Kaiser Permanente, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and United Healthcare. To find out if you have a grandfathered plan, read the fine print. Legal regulations require health plans to disclose whether they are grandfathered plans. Grandfather plans covers more doctors and hospitals in their network.

For more information about the meaning of a grandfathered plan in the Los Angeles, California, area, please contact Save-On Health Insurance Services Inc.
