Surrounded by championship golf courses and turquoise waterways, the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa at the Turnberry Isle Yacht Club was recently hailed by the London Business Times as "arguably the most effective diet, exercise, and lifestyle-change program in the world." Nathan Pritikin began the Pritikin Diet and Exercise Program over 30 years ago. Ten best-selling books have been written on the Pritikin Program, and over 75,000 people have visited the Center, which prides itself on being the "Harvard of Good Health." Some attend simply to shed a few pounds while others come both to prevent and reverse problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and obesity. All come to regain optimum health and maintain it for life.
No other lifestyle-change program has been more closely studied by the scientific community. More than 90 studies in top medical journals have documented the Center's phenomenal results.
Here are highlights: A study of 4,687 Pritikin grads in The New England Journal of Medicine showed an average drop in total and LDL cholesterol of 23 percent In a study of 652 diabetics by Diabetes Care, a medical journal published by the American Diabetes Association, 70 percent of those on oral agents left the Center free of these medications, and 39 percent of diabetics on insulin left insulin-free. Of 268 participants entering the resort on drugs for hypertension, 83 percent normalized their blood pressure and left the resort completely free of blood pressure drugs, according to the Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation. In three weeks, people reduced oxidative stress, controlled blood pressure, and reduced insulin levels by 46 percetn reported Circulation, published by the American Heart Association.
A typical day begins with a sunrise stretch. After breakfast, guests are immersed in closely monitored exercise classes, nutrition seminars, one-on-one counseling with physicians, stress management workshops, and classes that make healthy living easy and enjoyable, with topics such as Dining Out, Designing Your Home Exercise Program, and Maximizing Your Stress Hardiness. The clientele includes many high-level business executives and politicians as well as others looking to boost their emotional and physical health.
