By Les Masterson Updated on November 25, You can't erase evidence of a lifetime habit of cheeseburgers and cigarettes before a life insurance medical exam. But you can avoid mistakes that lead to false test results and higher life insurance rates. A life insurance medical exam takes about 20 minutes. It includes height, weight and blood pressure checks, as well as blood or urine samples and a request for medical history. The healthier the measurements and lab results, the lower the premiums you'll pay for coverage. EMSI in southern Wisconsin. Wacky life insurance exam readings Steinberg recalls a stock broker who couldn't take his eyes off the stock ticker while she conducted the exam in his office.
As the market numbers scrolled by, his heart rate and blood pressure went through the roof. The readings were normal when he couldn't watch the stock market drama. Made from coca leaves, the tea is used to treat altitude sickness in the Andes. American travelers bring it back from South America and sip it at home, not realizing the tea metabolizes in the body similarly to cocaine. Years ago, people could test positive for opiate use after eating poppy seeds. Though there are some strains of especially potent poppy seeds, you probably won't test positive for opiates from eating baked goods these days as the threshold for a positive opiate test has been raised, Sears says.
Examiners share the things most likely to mess up your results: 1. Drinking too much coffee Stimulants like caffeine boost blood pressure and heart rate. Get a good night's sleep so you don't need a big jolt to get going. It's probably OK to have your usual cup of Joe the morning of an exam, but gulping down several cups is a bad idea. Avoid any caffeine -- including those "energy shots" -- at least an hour before the exam, says Kim Anderson, director of insurance services at Force Diagnostics in Chicago. Getting stressed out Steinberg has often seen "white coat syndrome" boost blood pressure readings. Use relaxation techniques and spend time in a calm environment. Eating when you're supposed to fast Eating before a blood test can elevate triglyceride and glucose readings, Sears says. Follow fasting instructions, and let the technician know if you had anything to eat and when. Doing a killer workout Exercise is good for you over the long haul, but a strenuous workout can spill protein into the urine, Sears says.
Even if the elevated protein level is temporary and due to exercise, the insurance company won't know that. High protein levels in urine can indicate kidney problems. EMSI recommends no strenuous exercise at least 12 hours before the exam. Skimping on water You might think you should avoid water before an exam in order to maintain your weight. That's not the case. You should drink plenty of water the day before the exam and a large glass an hour beforehand. Smoking You can't avoid nicotine rates if you're a regular tobacco user -- the evidence will show up in lab tests. But you should still avoid tobacco at least an hour before an exam, Anderson says. Nicotine is a stimulant and can elevate blood pressure. Getting drunk the night before A customary small glass of wine with dinner is probably OK, Sears says, but don't overdo it. The alcohol could throw off test results for liver function.
Anderson advises avoiding all alcohol at least eight hours before the exam. Binging on pretzels and chips Too much salt can lead to dehydration, boost your weight and throw off tests for kidney function. Avoid unusually salty foods 24 hours before the exam. Additionally, make a list of all the medications you take and bring that with you to the exam, along with identification, your doctors' names, and phone numbers and information about your family medical history. The paramedical examiner will likely go over all that information, even if you've already given it to your life insurance agent. Your health and life insurance rates Health status plays a critical role in how much you pay for life insurance. Smoking and age influence rates, but even if you're 30 nonsmoker, you'll pay more if you're in poor health.

How to Study for an Exam in One Day Author: Better in Violet Whether you're cramming for a test or trying to write and essay quickly, the last few weeks of school can be scary for students of all ages. The situation becomes even more stressful when you've only got one day to study for an important exam. The good news is you that can prepare for a test in 24 hours, but you've got to be strategic about how you approach the material. The tips in this article are designed to help you save time while you're studying you're whether you have a full day before the exam or just the night before.
With some hard work and perseverance, you'll be able to confidently identify and memorize key concepts in the course even if you've fallen behind in class. Before You Begin Remain Calm If you've left studying to the day before the test, it's likely that you're panicking about how you're going to get all of the work done in such a small amount of time. No matter what your circumstances are, it's absolutely important that you don't panic. Stress and anxiety will make it much harder to concentrate, memorize facts, and think critically about the exam material.
If you're feeling overly stressed, take 15 minutes before studying to clear your mind and relax. Try some yoga, listen to a favorite song, or make a quick call to a supportive friend. Just don't make it any longer than 15 minutes—set that timer and be prepared to get to work once relaxation time is over. Gather Your Materials Don't make the mistake of beginning a study session without the proper supplies. Take the time to find a blank notebook, some pens, the course syllabus and textbook, and your full class notes.
Organize these materials neatly on a clean work surface, so that you have the freedom and space to access them when you need to. Find a Quiet Spot It's tempting to study with a large group of friends, especially if you're tackling a particularly hard subject. And while friends can provide some much-needed support, they're not always the best study buddies when you're pressed for time. If you're serious about getting the work done, look for a quiet study spot away from friends, television, and other distractions.
The logic behind this strategy is that if a concept is very central to the course, then you will gain peripheral knowledge of other less important topics by focusing on it. In general, you know something is important if: The instructor has explicitly said it will be on the exam. It is fundamental to understanding other topics in the course. It is highlighted, underlined, or bolded in a course syllabus or textbook. To begin looking for these terms, grab your course syllabus, a pen, and a blank notebook. Start making your way through the syllabus, jotting down any important terms in the blank notebook as you go. Another idea is to make flash cards for each key term. Whatever method you choose, make sure you have a complete inventory of these key concepts for review.
Keep this list handy so you can add more terms as you work. The idea is to make a kind of "cheat list" for you to review at the end of the studying session. Study Tip Set a timer that goes off every 30 minutes or every hour. This spaces out your study time so that you have breaks to look forward to. Scheduling dedicated time slots for studying also helps you stay committed to your task. Look for Summaries in the Textbook If your textbook is well-designed, it should have summaries of each section at either the beginning or the end of each chapter. Find these summaries and study them—hard. Some professors will also provide summaries of important themes as handouts for the class. Anything that's labeled Introduction, Conclusion, or Summary is what you want to focus on here, since these sections will synthesize information for you, making it easier to remember. As you study, jot down anything you want to commit to memory. Unlike your list of key terms, this type of note-taking doesn't have to be neat.
Just grab some scraps of paper and write down what you need to remember. Make sure you're writing and not typing, since typing isn't as effective for memorizing facts. Computers and the internet can either be distractions or useful tools. Try turning the wifi off if you find yourself not being able to differentiate the two. Make Use of Mind Maps, Charts, and Graphs This isn't something you want to spend a lot of time doing if you're pressed for time, but taking fifteen minutes to make a quick mind map is a great way to synthesize the information you've learned.
One of the tricks to studying effectively is seeing the connections between various topics in the course. Don't make the mistake of assuming the material in Week One has no relevance to Week Seven. In fact, it's more than likely that Week Seven directly builds on concepts learned near the beginning of the course. Try using a visual aid, like a chart, graph or mind map, to explicitly identify the connections between the course material. It'll give you a much better understanding of the concepts as a whole. Teach a Friend Another effective way of memorizing information is to pretend you're teaching it to someone else. Once you feel reasonably comfortable with the material, meet up with a friend for an hour and present them with what you know.
Encourage them to ask questions about the material so you'll be forced to re-explain concepts or think more critically about the subject. It sounds hard, but teaching someone who knows less about a topic than you do is a great way to cement what you already know. Remember Having a good friend assist you with your studies is great, but you should consider hosting a session with a peer from class as well. They might be able to clarify concepts that you did not fully understand or present ideas in a new light. Study Out of Order It is easy to second-guess this tip, but it can be a effective technique for learning new material if done correctly. Our brains don't always work in a perfect, and we are no different. After thoroughly reviewing your notes in order, randomly go back and read them in no particular order.
You will be training your brain to remember the information on its own, instead as a part of a series. If chronology is relevant to the subject, like history, then be mindful of noting chronology, but still change the order in which you study. Review Your Important Terms List Remember the list of terms you made at the beginning of the study session? It's now time to review it and make sure you understand everything on the list. For each term, try saying a complete definition out loud.
