Duxbury, MA (PRWEB) February 28, 2014 -- Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Welch Healthcare and Retirement, which owns and manages five assisted living communities on the South Shore of Massachusetts, held Heart Healthy Educational Dinner Presentations at two communities last month in celebration of American Heart Month.

To reduce the risk of heart disease, it is important to control blood pressure, lower dietary fat and cholesterol; manage diabetes; and maintain a healthy weight by staying active.

In Duxbury, the Allerton House residence provided a heart-healthy menu to more than 50 local residents who wanted to learn more from cardiologist Dr. Michael McLaughlin of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Plymouth. Dr. McLaughlin told the capacity crowd about the many ways to improve heart health. Area residents mingled with residents of the 34-apartment-home assisted living community, listening intently to how they might manage cholesterol and hypertension or change certain aspects of their lifestyle to lower their risk of cardiovascular disease.

Dr. McLaughlin graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 2004, he completed his fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Among the recommendations for reducing heart disease risk are: Do not use tobacco products – smokers double their risk for heart disease. Dr. McLaughlin said, to reduce the risk of heart disease, it is also important to control blood pressure and lower dietary fat and cholesterol; manage diabetes; and maintain a healthy weight by staying active. Finally, he recommended eating heart-healthy foods and keeping stress to a minimum.

In Hingham, about 20 miles north of Duxbury, MA, Dr. David Denmark, an interventional cardiologist at Harbor Medical Associates, gave a presentation to a capacity crowd on “Vascular Health from Head to Toe” at Allerton House at Harbor Park. It was preceded by a complimentary heart-healthy dinner.

Dr. Denmark discussed the many conditions that affect the circulatory system, and ways to treat and prevent them. He talked about peripheral vascular disease, which includes a range of conditions involving blood vessels that are located outside of both the heart and the brain; coronary artery disease, or heart disease, which results when plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to heart attack and stroke; and varicose veins.

Allerton House in Hingham offers traditional assisted living as well as a dedicated memory care neighborhood for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. To learn more about upcoming programs or to schedule a personal visit, contact Marketing Director Carol Taylor by telephone at 781-749-3322 or via email at: ctaylor(at)welchhrg(dot)com.
