Ill health doesn’t discriminate by occupation, age or income
Whether a lawyer, teacher or carpenter, the everyday lifestyle choices made by your clients have a direct influence on both their current and future health.
In the UK 62% of adults are classed as either obese or overweight1. This means that for many of us we are at a higher risk of developing serious health conditions such as cancer, high blood pressure, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
In 2016/17, the number of NHS hospital admissions where obesity was recorded as a factor increased by 18% to 617,0002. Of these 69% were aged between 35 & 642 – people of core working age.
Regular exercise, losing weight (if overweight) and eating a balanced diet can help to improve your client’s health and reduce the risk of developing serious health conditions.
Without change, obesity rates and the diagnosis of associated conditions will continue to rise. So too will the risks that ill health poses to your clients’ income.
Protecting their income against the impact of illness or injury could be invaluable at a difficult time. That’s why income protection plans from The Exeter now provide cover for clients who suffer from type 2 diabetes.
