The Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa is a health resort in Aventura, Florida where guests come from all over the world to achieve unparalleled health and weight-loss results. Nearly 50 years ago, its founder Nathan Pritikin, just 42 years old and suffering from severe heart disease, created the Pritikin Program – and reversed his own heart disease. At his death in 1985, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that Nathan Pritikin’s arteries were completely free of any effects of heart disease, and were as “soft and pliable” as a teenager’s. (NEJM, 1985; 313: 52)
The Pritikin Program launched a revolution. Since 1975, millions have read Pritikin’s nine best-selling books. More than 100,000 have attended the one- and two-week lifestyle-change programs at the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa. The Pritikin Program, simple yet stunningly remarkable in its benefits, focuses on daily exercise and an eating plan based on natural, whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seafood rich in omega 3s, and limited lean meat. At the Pritikin Longevity Center, guests enjoy six heart-healthy, gourmet meals and snacks daily, such as grilled lobster, roasted bison, wild mushroom risotto, and chocolate mousse.
Many diet-and-exercise programs claim results, but where is the proof, the published results? Scientists from Harvard Medical School, Stanford University, UCLA and many other research institutions have lauded Pritikin’s effectiveness to help prevent and reverse heart disease and other health concerns. More than 100 studies in prestigious medical journals like JAMA, the New England Journal of Medicine, and Circulation have documented the Pritikin Program’s extraordinary success in helping thousands worldwide:
- Achieve healthy, lifelong weight control
- Dramatically reduce total and LDL “bad” cholesterol
- Control insulin levels so effectively that many with diabetes no longer require drugs or insulin shots
- Lower blood pressure to the point where thousands of hypertensives graduate medication-free
- Decrease inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein
- Eliminate the need for bypass surgery and angioplasty, and
- Substantially reduce the risk of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and cancers of the breast, colon, and prostate
Recently, the London Business Times described the Pritikin Program as “arguably the most effective diet, exercise, and lifestyle-change program in the world.”
The Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa, the vacation resort of choice for weight loss and health improvement for thousands worldwide, is located in Aventura, Florida, just 20 minutes from either the Ft. Lauderdale or Miami airports.
