How To Lower Life Insurance Premiums With Proper Exercise And Nutrition
2010-09-23
Life insurance premiums are primarily based on one's life expectancy and risk factors, such as being overweight or having high blood pressure. Factors such as physical condition and whether the prospective insured's weight are considered consistent or acceptable for a normal group of people of that height and age according to the standardized weight charts utilized by insurers in determining average weight ratios. Subsequently, life insurance premiums can be considerably lower because of benefits associated with proper exercise and a nutritionally balanced diet.
A prospective insured that follows a nutritionally balanced diet and proper exercise will receive consequential benefits besides obvious ones, looking and feeling better. A person adopting a calorically and nutritionally balanced diet will enjoy increased energy, stamina, improved digestion, and more sound sleep. Additionally, if the diet is appropriate for their body type, gender and metabolic rate, they will not be overweight or obese. Calories will be metabolized and utilized for body systems functions, such as energy production and temperature regulation. There will not be excessive or extraneous calories available to be stored as lipids or fats. A nutritionally balanced diet will have the appropriate combination of lipids, grains, vegetables, fruit, and protein appropriate for that metabolic profile.
In determining the life insurance premium rate, body weight is a critical factor, which should be near the target weight recommended by the standardized height and weight charts. Therefore, a person who subscribes to a nutritionally balanced diet will not typically experience substantial weight gain that will cause them to have a minimized life expectancy, which would result in an increased life insurance premium.
Additionally, a prospective policyholder who exercises regularly will experience health benefits that will increase life expectancy; as a result, will pay a lower life insurance premium. For example, athletic people and those who exercise regularly usually have a lower heart rate and blood pressure. This translates into a higher life expectancy; they are not considered candidates for strokes or heart attacks, especially those who exercise in conjunction with a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet. The lower heart rate, lower blood pressure, and including an optimized metabolic rate capacity can be partially attributed to the presence of more muscle tissue, which efficiently converts calories to expendable energy. The body will have minimal excess adipose tissue and the body weight will be appreciably lower than a person who does not exercise regularly and eat a properly and nutritionally balanced diet. Therefore, life insurance underwriters will offer a lower life insurance premium because of the positive life expectancy associated with a normal weight, low heart rate, and lower blood pressure.
