Is your cholesterol raising your insurance costs?
While each individual life insurance policy may be different depending on the policyholder’s needs, there are certain factors that remain constant and affect your life insurance costs. One of the most common factors that can have a great impact on your life insurance costs is — believe it or not — cholesterol. Nearly 50 percent of adult Americans have cholesterol levels that are not within the general desirable range. While this is definitely bad for your health, it also puts a lot of strain on your life insurance policy.
While a slightly elevated cholesterol level will not generally impact your life insurance costs, if you have cholesterol level is severely elevated, or if you have slightly elevated levels combined with another negative underwriting factor (such as blood pressure or weight), your costs may be higher. So how do you remedy this problem? Check your cholesterol levels regularly and find out ways to lower the high levels. This can help you both physically and fiscally.
