Healthy Habits and Lower Premiums: How Lifestyle Impacts Life Insurance

When it comes to life insurance, many Mississippi residents are surprised to learn just how much their daily habits can influence their eligibility and the cost of their premiums. At Paige Agency, we believe that understanding this connection empowers our clients to make choices that benefit their health and wallets.

How Lifestyle Choices Affect Life Insurance

Life insurance providers assess financial risk when determining your premium. Factors such as age and medical history play a role, but your lifestyle habits are just as important. Insurers look closely at behaviors that may impact your long-term health. Consider the following:

• Smoking or using tobacco products can significantly increase your premiums, as it raises the risk of health conditions.
• Regular exercise is linked to better cardiovascular health and lower rates of chronic disease, which can make you a more attractive candidate for lower premiums.
• Maintaining a balanced diet helps manage weight, blood pressure and cholesterol, all of which are considered during the underwriting process.
• Excessive drinking may lead to higher premiums or even denial of coverage.

Benefits of Healthy Habits for Your Policy

Adopting a healthy lifestyle can do more than improve your well-being, it may also help you qualify for better life insurance rates. Making positive changes can have a meaningful impact on your insurance options.

Tips for Lowering Your Life Insurance Premiums

• Quit smoking and avoid tobacco products
• Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine
• Choose a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains
• Limit alcohol intake
• Schedule regular check-ups to monitor your health
