  • Dr. Richard Townsend, founder of Pontevedra Concierge Medicine, shared advice on taking charge of cardiovascular health. "Make the time. It's a priority," Townsend emphasized. "It's not that we don't have time; we just don't prioritize it."

The article from News4JAX, published on December 30, 2024, features Dr. Michael Weiner, a cardiologist from Baptist Health, who provides insights on improving heart health for the upcoming year. Dr. Weiner emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes to enhance cardiovascular health, including adopting a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while reducing salt, sugar, and saturated fats. He also highlights the significance of regular physical activity, suggesting at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity weekly. Additionally, Dr. Weiner discusses the benefits of stress management techniques like yoga and meditation, the necessity of quitting smoking, and the importance of regular medical check-ups to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other heart health indicators. He encourages individuals to set realistic health goals, track their progress, and seek support from healthcare providers or community programs to maintain heart health.
