Even if you’re of a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and have low blood pressure and cholesterol, it’s possible that you may fall into a less-preferred California life insurance class. This is because there are other factors in addition to your current physical health that influence the costs of your premiums. One of these is your family medical history.

Even if you’re healthy right now, it’s a possibility that this may not be the case further down the track. Your life insurance company will look to your parents to see whether you are likely to become a higher risk later on in life. If your parents died young, or became ill from a heart attack or stroke, your insurance company may perceive you as being higher risk.

Similarly, if there are genetic factors in your family, these will also need to be taken into consideration. Issues such as cancer, diabetes, some mental illnesses and many other illnesses or diseases may all affect your life insurance premiums. This is particularly the case if there is a strong correlative hereditary link, meaning that you are highly likely to be affected by the same issues.

Still, although you may not be able to improve the outcomes of your family history, keeping as healthy as you can is in your interests – and being healthy makes you more likely to obtain a better rate when you purchase your life insurance policy.
