 The Pritikin Program was launched in 1974 by Nathan Pritikin, who started a health revolution by showing that heart disease, diabetes, and overweight could be largely prevented by exercise and a diet emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seafood, nonfat dairy foods, and limited lean meat. Since 1975, more than 90 studies published in top medical journals like the New England Journal of Medicine have documented the Pritikin Program's remarkable effectiveness in helping thousands worldwide who have attended the  Pritikin Longevity Center and millions more who have Nathan Pritikin's best-selling books lose weight safely, effectively, and permanently; dramatically reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels and triglycerides; normalize blood pressure; lower insulin levels; avoid heart bypass surgery, reduce inflammation markers like C-reactive protein; and significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks, diabetes, strokes, and several forms of cancers.
