Calcium supplements are commonly taken to aid in bone loss prevention. According to previous researchers, calcium supplements may help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke that normally lead to permanent disability.
However, a recent study suggests that calcium supplements may actually lead to a dramatic increase in the risk of heart attack and stroke. Meanwhile, it appears that a calcium-rich diet could deliver a reduced heart attack risk.
Recent studies concluded that the higher the calcium intake, the greater the damage it brings to blood vessel walls, hence the risk of a stroke. However, not all researchers believed the said findings. In fact, those who criticize the findings claim that osteoporosis leads to more bone fractures than heart attacks. They confirmed that calcium supplements can help prevent such fractures.
This was opposed with the belief that calcium supplements seem to increase the risk of a heart attack by a quarter and to reduce the risk of fractures by just 10 percent. Due to conflicting details, it is advisable that anyone who intends to take calcium supplement should first seek medical advice and prescription of the drug.
Heart attack and stroke may lead to either long term disability or permanent disability depending on the gravity of the condition. When it comes to long term disability benefits, it can be paid personally by the wage earner from a private insurer or from an employer.
However, recipients should expect that insurers will make it hard for the disabled to get access to the benefits they lawfully deserve. Therefore, it is highly recommended to seek help from a Los Angeles social security disability firm for them to provide guidance and legal representation in seeking disability benefits.
