Men's diet and lifestyle a case for importance of life insurance

More factors that should encourage men to consider covering themselves with life insurance or critical illness cover have been highlighted by an expert from Leeds Metropolitan University.

According to Alan White, a professor of Men's Health, men seem to be oblivious to the risks of cancer despite the fact that they have a higher level of smoking and an increased rate of obesity than women.

Reacting to figures released by Cancer Research UK showing men to be far more at risk from cancer and its effects than women, the health expert said that more men are overweight than women.

"The way men put their weight on, around their middle, it increases the risk of fat-related cancers," he said, adding that other issues such as more alcohol, red and processed meat and less fruit and fibre mean that men are more at risk.

Such revelations highlight the importance for men to protect their financial future as well as that of any dependants by taking out critical illness insurance or income protection cover.

These products can come in handy in the event of death or illness by paying out a lump sum or guaranteeing a source of income until retirement or recovery is made.
