WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE

Millions of adults go to great lengths to protect their assets. ose measures run the gamut from simple everyday e orts like utilizing two-factor authentication when accessing nancial accounts via online or mobile banking apps to more complicated undertakings like estate planning. Life insurance is a component of estate planning that is vital to anyone looking to protect their assets in the event of their death.

• EXPLAINING LIFE INSURANCE. Life insurance is both similar to and di erent from other types of insurance. Like homeowners and auto insurance policies, life insurance provides nancial protection in di cult circumstances. A life insurance policy is a contract between an insurance provider and a policy holder that guarantees a payout to bene ciaries designated by the insured individual in the wake of that individual’s death.

• PERSONAL HISTORY. Insurance providers di er, but individuals interested in life insurance can expect to be asked about their medical histories and lifestyle habits when discussing policies. Prospective policy holders will o en be asked to sign waivers that allow providers to access their medical records. is is necessary so companies can get an idea of the health of the person applying for life insurance, which will determine the cost of a policy. at information, as well as family history, is important because it can serve as an indicator of future health risks. Some variables, including lifestyle habits like smoking, won’t necessarily appear on an individual’s medical history. In an e ort to address that, insurance providers typically ask prospective policy holders to answer a variety of questions about their lifestyle, including whether or not they smoke and how much alcohol they consume. It’s vital that individuals answer these questions honestly, as companies can deny payouts to bene ciaries if they determine policy holders misled them during the application process.

• COVERAGE. Coverage needs vary depending on the individual. Life insurance is intended to provide for loved ones in the a ermath of a policy holder’s death. How much money will those individuals need to pay their bills? Young adults who are just starting their families may want more coverage than aging adults who have already paid o their homes and saved a considerable amount for retirement. e National Association of Insurance Commissioners recommends that individuals ask themselves how much of the family income they provide and if anyone else, such as an aging parent, depends on them for nancial support. Answering these questions can help individuals determine how much coverage they need.

• TYPES OF COVERAGE. Insurance providers o er various types of life insurance policies. Term life policies are among the most popular because they tend to be a ordable while o ering substantial coverage. ere are di erent types of term life policies, but policies tend to run for anywhere from 10 to 30 years and expire around the time individuals reach retirement age. at’s because many people save enough for retirement and don’t have the sizable expenses, such as a mortgage, to account for at this point in their lives. at means loved ones won’t necessarily need to be provided for in the wake of a policy holder’s death.

Permanent life insurance policies last until the policy holder’s death so long as he or she continues to pay the premiums on time. Financial advisors can help individuals understand the ins and outs of the various types of permanent life insurance policies, which di er from term life policies because they can serve as investment vehicles and sources of loans in certain instances.

WHAT DENTAL HYGIENE DOES FOR OVERALL HEALTH

Brushing and ossing your teeth may save you extra sessions in the dentist’s chair each year, but the bene ts of dental hygiene do not end with pearly whites. In fact, there’s a direct correlation between oral hygiene and overall health.

Oral health o ers clues about overall health, advises the Mayo Clinic. When a dentist or hygienist checks a person’s mouth, he or she is getting a window into that person’s overall wellness - including if something is amiss.

Dental hygiene matters because, without proper brushing and ossing, bacteria in the mouth can grow unchecked. Over time, that bacteria can in ltrate and break down the so tissues in the gums and teeth, eventually leading to decay and gum disease. Greenwood Dental Care in Illinois states that the bacteria from the mouth could travel into the bloodstream and elsewhere, causing a host of issues.

ere’s a high correlation between an unhealthy mouth and systemic diseases. e United Kingdom-based dental group Fulham Road Dental indicates that gum disease is linked to heart problems, kidney diseases and certain types of cancer. Dentists who notice problems in their patients’ mouths may be able to predict potential illnesses elsewhere in the body, advising those patients to seek consultations with other healthcare providers.

Here’s a deeper look at some of the correlations between oral health and overall health, courtesy of the Mayo Clinic.

• ENDOCARDITIS: When bacteria or other germs from the mouth or another part of the body spread through the bloodstream, they can attach to certain areas of the heart. is causes an infection in the inner lining of the heart chambers or valves.

• PREGNANCY AND BIRTH COMPLICATIONS: Periodontitis has been linked to low birth weight and premature birth.

• CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: While it’s not fully understood why, clogged arteries, stroke and heart disease may be linked to in ammation and infection caused by oral bacteria.

• PNEUMONIA: Bacteria in the mouth may be pulled into the lungs, where it can lead to respiratory illness, such as pneumonia.

It’s a two-way street with health and the mouth. Certain diseases can lead to issues in the mouth. HIV/AIDS may cause mucosal lesions in the mouth; those with osteoporosis may have weakened periodontal bone and tooth loss; and research has shown that diabetes puts gum health at risk.
