• Quick Quote’s tips to stay motivated and benefit from an active lifestyle

Boost your immune system

You can make your immune system function better by avoiding smoking, eating a diet high in; fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low in saturated fat, and; exercising regularly.

Regular physical activity

New studies claim that the average life expectancy is anticipated to rise by more than 5 years by 2030, however, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development suggest that the UK is the most obese country in Western Europe, and not enough people are exercising regularly. Doing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day will lower your BMI, decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease, keep your blood pressure and cholesterol within a safe range, and lower the cost of your Life Insurance premiums!

Optimism is the key to success

Achieving an optimum level of psychological well-being is a vital step to take on the ladder to your health goals. According to the Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 6 people are likely to experience a common mental health problem each week and around 1 in 4 people in the UK will endure a mental health problem every year, as stated by mental health charity Mind. Being positive is easier said than done, but helping others, getting outside more, getting enough sleep and spending more time with family and friends can help boost your outlook and optimism, leaving you feeling more motivated and active.

Never forget your goals

The power of writing down your dreams and goals should never be underestimated. It can offer you control of what you need to achieve and gives you the chance to look back to see what you have achieved.

Organisation

Being organised and having good time management won’t just benefit your professional life, it’ll benefit your personal life too. According to the Health and Safety Executive, up to 500,000 people in Great Britain have work-related stress that often results in illness. Buying a whiteboard, using your smartphone’s calendar, or purchasing a swanky new looking notepad to write your to-do lists can all help - organisation comes in many forms!

Carry on challenging yourself

Life would be mundane if we never grasped the opportunity to challenge ourselves once in a while. Turning every ‘can’t’ into a ‘can’ is surprisingly beneficial for staying determined and motivated. This way, you’ll see results for things you never thought you were capable of doing.

Put your mind at ease by taking out Life Insurance

If you haven’t already, take out a Life Insurance policy to make sure your loved ones would be provided with the financial security they’ll need after you’ve gone. Another benefit to being covered by life insurance is taking out critical illness cover at an additional cost when you purchase life cover, which will provide even more financial security should you develop a life-threatening illness.
