Recommendations Made By Researchers to Target Physical Inactivity

Being inactive can lead to serious health complications, which may result in the need for long-term disability benefits. In the event of a severe medical problem, you should speak with a long-term disability attorney to discuss your legal rights to filing a claim for disability benefits.

According to a report from CNN Health, recommendations are being made by researchers to target physical inactivity rather than focusing on fitness and exercise. By raising awareness to the public about the risks of living a sedentary lifestyle, some researchers believe it may be more beneficial.

In a new study, it was found that women who sit for extended periods of time have an increased risk of pulmonary embolism. Women at greatest risk were those who sit for more than 41 hours a week outside of work time. Those at the least risk were those who sit 10 hours or less.

This study only focused on a sedentary lifestyle outside of work. It didn't factor in jobs where sitting is also an issue.

Inactivity can be detrimental to an individual's health in a number of ways. It can increase the risk for other serious cardiovascular problems as well. You should consult with an Atlanta long-term disability attorney if you need help pursuing long-term dsiability benefits or appealing a claim that has been denied.

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.
