Car insurance looks after your car if it gets damaged or stolen–right? However, life insurance doesn’t work the same way. If either your health or life gets damaged or lost it doesn’t get “fixed up” by your insurance company. Life insurance benefits the ones we leave behind, not the owner of the life.
So how do we look after our life to ensure that our health is maintained? We don’t do it by paying monthly premiums. You can’t buy health. You have to invest your time and energy in the lifestyle choices you make to get health.
Some lifestyle choices are easy such as choosing to go to bed and get more sleep rather than watching Game of Thrones until the early hours of the morning. Others, such as choosing to exercise require more effort. However the returns are better than any investment than you’ll make in the stock market. Let’s talk about the health returns you’ll get from a policy that features regular exercise.
Older men get excellent returns for regular physical activity with a decrease in the risk of death by 40%. But this policy is suitable for everyone. Regular physical activity reduces death and the risk of breast cancer by 50%and colon cancer by 60% And for being a regular exerciser you’ll also receive a special bonus 40% reduction in the incidence of heart disease. If you’re unsure whether you’d like to take up this offer could we tempt you by lowering your risk of developing type II diabetes by 60%?
But how much does this cost? Is this a trick that involves hours and hours of grueling sweating and heaving? How about an investment of just 1.5% of your time? Let’s take you through the maths. Just 2.5 hours of moderate intense exercise will qualify you for the rewards listed above. There’s 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week = 168 hours/wk. Just 2.5 of those 168 hours gives you outstanding health returns
As with making any financial decision, you’ll need to weigh up if the investment is worth the return. P.S. If you’re spending time watching TV on Facebook could you invest this time more wisely?
