Cholesterol Management and Your Cardiovascular Health

When a severe medical condition such as cardiovascular disease results in disability, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits if you are unable to work.

A report from a nutritional outlook reveals that over half of the adults in the United States have high or elevated cholesterol which can lead to cardiovascular disease. The trends found by Innova Market Insights show that Americans have spent $11 billion on food with heart health claims like “cholesterol free” and “reduced cholesterol” since 2008. Many of those products are bakery and cereal or dairy products.

Fat enriched foods have become part of the American diet and have resulted in higher incidence of obesity, cholesterol problems and cardiovascular problems. If your doctor has told you that you are unable to work as a result of a cardiovascular condition, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration doesn’t always make it easy for the disabled to the Social Security Disability benefits that they deserve. If your obesity or cardiovascular problems make it impossible for you to work and you have been denied your Social Security Disability benefits, Sharon Barrett can help you cut through the red tape and fight for your benefits no matter where you live in the Tampa Bay area.
