Man’s Risk of Heart Attack Cut with 3 Hours of Vigorous Exercise a Week

In a report from Medicine Net, a man's risk of heart attack may be cut with just 3 hours of vigorous exercise a week. If you have suffered complications from a heart attack that have prevented you from returning to work, then you could qualify for long-term disability benefits.

A new study performed by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, found that the risk of heart attack in men, who engage in 3 hours of vigorous exercise each week, could be reduced by as much as 22%.

Additionally, the researchers discovered that of the decreased risk, about 38% of it was the result of healthy levels of good cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein.

Those men in the study who did suffer a nonfatal heart attack or died as a result of coronary heart disease were found to have the following conditions: 

• less good cholesterol;
• more bad cholesterol;
• diabetes; and
• high blood pressure.

Vigorous exercise can include high-intensity interval training, speed walking, or running.

When you are unable to work for an extended period of time due to a severe health condition, then you could qualify to receive disability benefits. A South Florida long-term disability lawyer can help determine eligibility and assist you with the process of filing a claim.

Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve.

When a severe medical condition makes it impossible for you to work and you've been denied your long-term disability benefits, an attorney from LaVan & Neidenberg, P.A. can help you cut through the red tape and fight for your benefits, no matter where you live in the U.S!
