Alzheimer’s Disease Risk May Be Lowered with Regular Walking

The Social Security Administration provides disability benefits to individuals who qualify under their listing of impairments. Alzheimer's disease is a condition that may qualify you to receive Social Security disability benefits.

The Doctor's Lounge reports that according to new research, a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's may be lowered with regular walking. These findings were presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America meeting in Chicago.

Researchers indicate that when individuals walk 5 miles per week it can help slow the progression of Alzheimer's. Additionally, even those who have no signs of the disease may help to ward it off by regular walking.

The National Institute on Aging reports that there are between 2.4 million and 5.1 million individuals in the U.S. who have Alzheimer's disease. This degenerative disease typically leads to significant memory loss and reasoning ability.

While researchers are not saying that walking is a cure for Alzheimer's, they do believe it can make a significant difference on the impact it has for an individual. Walking also carries other health benefits, as well, so regular exercise is encouraged.

A Social Security disability attorney can help you if you have been denied disability benefits or need help determining if your medical condition qualifies you to receive them.

When you are interviewing Social Security Disability attorneys ask critical questions, like: how many Social Security Disability hearings do you have per month; do you understand the SSA's POMS (the manual Social Security employees use to process claims); and, do you understand the date last insured and how it affects my disability onset date?
