American Heart Month has been commemorated each February since 1964. It’s a time when the nation spotlights heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Throughout this month, the American Heart Association aims to raise awareness and support for research efforts to ensure that millions of people live longer and healthier lives. In many cases, heart disease is preventable when people treat high blood pressure, exercise moderately, refrain from smoking, control blood sugar and cholesterol, and get regular physical exams.
Medicare Supplement Plans — also known as Medigap — help fill the coverage gaps left by Medicare. There are multiple benefits to having a Medicare Supplement Plan, but one big reason is that your out-of-pocket costs will be much more predictable and easier to budget. You won’t need to worry about how much you’ll owe every time you go to the doctor or are hospitalized.
There are even more reasons to choose a Medicare Supplement Plan. I can fill you in and set you up with a plan that fits your personal needs. Reach out any time by phone or by clicking “reply” on this e-mail to send me a note.
Have you been thinking about some ways you can be healthier in the new year? According to a study from the National Institutes of Health, a great, easy way to boost your health is to drink more water. The study finds that well-hydrated adults have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases and may live longer than people who do not get enough fluids. Drinking water helps prevent dehydration, lubricate your joints, maintain a normal body temperature, regulate blood pressure, and even ease constipation. The National Academy of Medicine recommends that adults over age 50 drink about 91 ounces for women and 125 ounces for men. If you take medications that affect fluid balance, check with your doctor about the optimal amount of water to drink each day.
Yes, covering funeral expenses is among the most popular reasons that people buy life insurance. However, it’s important to know that life insurance can have a myriad of other benefits. Life insurance can help protect your family’s future by replacing income and paying off debts like auto loans, mortgage, and credit cards. It can also fund continuing education for a loved one or be used to provide a legacy for your favorite charity. Plus, life insurance can build cash value over time. For example, every time you make a premium payment on a permanent life insurance policy, part of that amount goes into a cash value account. That account can be accessed during your lifetime, if you need it, through withdrawals or borrowing against it. Bottom line: While covering funeral expenses can certainly be a significant reason to have life insurance, it’s not all there is.
