We all want cheaper insurance and more of us are realizing the importance of life insurance. If you are a vegetarian and want life insurance there could be a better deal for you. There is an insurance provider called Animal Friends who are offering non-meat eater’s approximate savings of 10% discount on life insurance.

Elaine Fairfax the managing director at Animal Friends Insurance, said: “The risk of vegetarians suffering from some cancers is reduced by up to 40 per cent and from heart disease by up to 30 per cent, but despite this, they have to pay the same life insurance premiums as meat-eaters.

We believe this is unfair and the life insurance industry needs to acknowledge the fact that being a vegetarian can have a very positive impact on life expectancy and reduce premiums accordingly.”

With figures like these it no wonder being vegetarian can save you on life insurance and also go toward you living a longer healthier life.
