Anyone looking to boost their chances of cheap life cover could do so with a few tweaks to their diet, it has emerged.
Two separate studies, published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, have revealed that people who consume a Mediterranean-style diet and exercise daily are more likely to live longer.
Using data from over 566,000 people aged 50 to 71, the first found that people eating such food were less likely to die of cancer or heart disease.
Components of the diet included vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains and fish.
In the second study researchers found that individuals who exercised for about 30 minutes every day were 27 per cent less likely to die early.
Commenting on the findings, Professor Tim Key at Cancer Research UK said the links between diet and cancer are "complex".
"This study confirms that a diet high in vegetables and fruit and low in red and processed meats is associated with a moderate reduction in the overall risk for dying from cancer," he remarked.
"More research is needed to determine whether certain aspects of this type of diet have specific effects on particular types of cancer," he concluded.

More has been discovered about the link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer, thanks to recent research.
Scientists at the University of Mississippi found that alcohol intake had a direct effect on both the size of cancerous tumours and the stimulation of the tumour growth.
Laboratory mice were injected with a breast cancer solution and while some were given water, others received an alcohol water solution.
The four-week study revealed that alcohol can certainly up the risk of breast cancer, with tumours developing in the alcohol-fed mice weighing in at an average of 1.4g, nearly twice as large as those in the water-fed rodents.
Jian-Wei Gu, leader of the research team, explained that while malignant cells are produced daily, most do not develop.
However, the study showed that moderate alcohol consumption – the human equivalent of two drinks a day – enabled the cancerous tumours to grow faster.
The mice in the alcohol-fed group carried more protein in their bloodstream, enabling blood vessels to infiltrate the tumour and provide nutrients.

Diabetes complications such as blindness, heart disease, kidney failure and amputations would be reduced if more people had access to insulin pumps, it has been claimed.
Charity Diabetes UK pointed out that such pumps are more effective than traditional injections, but current UK access to them is "patchy".
Simon O'Neill, director of care, information and advocacy for the organisation, outlined research published in the journal Diabetic Medicine which found that insulin pumps are more effective than traditional insulin injections at improving blood glucose control and reducing hypoglycaemic episodes.
"Although pumps are not recommended for all people who manage their diabetes with insulin, it would be beneficial for many including those with type-two diabetes," remarked Mr O'Neill.
He added that despite the pumps costing £1,400, compared to £500 insulin injections, greater use of them would save the NHS money in the long term as complications including loss of limbs – which can ultimately cause the loss of independent existence - would fall.
Just over two per cent of British people with type-one diabetes use pumps compared to 15 to 20 per cent in the US and Germany.
