Weight Loss May Stave off Memory Loss


Pursuing a long-term disability claim can be complicated, which is why you may need the help of a Palm Beach County long-term disability attorney if you are suffering a medical condition that has made it impossible for you to work.

According to a report from Health News, findings from new research indicate that a person's memory may be improved with weight loss. This research comes from Kent State University and was published recently in the Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases journal.

Weight loss has many health benefits but new findings show that cognitive abilities and concentration can also be improved. Obesity has been considered a potential risk factor for Alzheimer's for some time. This research indicates a need for further study in the link between obesity and memory problems.

After analyzing 150 patients, 22.9% had difficulty with memory and 23.9% demonstrated impaired learning. After undergoing gastric bypass surgery and losing an average of 50 pounds, 12 weeks later improvements in memory were seen in all patients.

Those patients who did not undergo gastric bypass surgery not only showed no signs of improvement but after 12 weeks they exhibited a slight decline in memory.

If you have questions concerning your claim or if you were denied long-term disability benefits, you should consult immediately with a Palm Beach County long-term disability attorney.

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 to cut through the red tape and fight for your benefits, no matter where you live in the U.S!
