Abstract: Introduction: Wellness is the act of ensuring a healthy lifestyle regularly. It is a multidimensional phenomenon. There are various wellness providers, including hospitals, insurance companies, diagnostic centres, and wellness firms. It focuses on the wellness programs offered by Indian and International health insurance companies. Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study on the wellness programs delivered by health insurance companies. The survey was conducted to gauge customers’ outlook on the wellness programs offered by insurance companies. Result: List of wellness programs offered by various health insurance companies. The determination of the interest of consumers in wellness programs and rewards related to it. Discussion: Wellness programs encompass fitness challenges, dietary modifications, lifestyle adjustments, goal-oriented exercises, and healthy living practices. This paper discusses wellness initiatives, benefits, and regulations of wellness programs for insurance companies. Application: A comprehensive wellness plan for health insurance companies to increase the well-being of their customers. Conclusion: Both the insured and the insurer benefit from the wellness initiatives. Wellness programs help individuals maintain their health, thereby reducing the likelihood of future claims. This increases the revenue of insurance companies.

Abstract: Hookworm infections are helminthic infection that affects tropical and subtropical areas. Several laboratory animals have been infected with hookworms. Due to parasitic infection, the structure and function of tissues undergo severe derangements and metabolic disorders. In the present study, a hamster, Mesocricetus auratus, was infected with a hookworm, Ancylostoma ceylanicum. The carbohydrate content of A. ceylanicum in M. auratus was studied in both control and infected individuals. Understanding the level of pathogenicity caused by an A. ceylanicum infection can be aided by examining the total amount of carbohydrates present in the tissues of the host, M. auratus. A biochemical analysis was performed to determine the total carbohydrate content. The brain and spleen were found to have higher carbohydrate contents. There was decreased carbohydrate activity in the kidney, liver, gut, and muscle. The present study describes the alterations in total carbohydrate content in various tissues of the host, M. auratus, resulting from infection with A. ceylanicum. The results obtained from multiple tissues due to infection were statistically significant. It was further plotted graphically and interpreted. The research conducted in the present study helped to understand the biochemical changes occurring in the host, Mesocricetus auratus, due to hookworm infection, Ancylostoma ceylanicum.
