A few days ago, we were invited to meet the longevity center and spa, Pritikin located at the Doral Golf Resort in Miami. This longevity and spa center has been featured in over 100 medical journals and remains one of the only non-hospital Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation centers in the country.
Home Sweet Home and more!
During our welcome tour we realized we were experience a unique kind of wellness center. Yes, a new concept full of experts from health to nutrition and fitness to spa, along with the amazing accommodations: spacious rooms with beautiful tropical garden views to the quintessential spa experience T- Suite; it’s what we call “home sweet five stars home!”
Pritikin Eating Plan: Hunger is never an issue!
The first impression when we were at our dining experience was the fact there was not salt on the table, just pepper! We asked the waiter “you don’t use salt?” — He politely said “no, but you will love the food.”
He was right, our choices (fish & meat) were incredibly delicious. The food was fresh, had exquisite taste, and was very healthy. The chef of Pritikin never uses salt as a condiment, in addition to no fat or sugar on your desert–you can eat as much as you want, and still lose weight.
We found out later that our gourmet meals were prepared by Chef Anthony Stewart who has won five gold medals in top culinary competitions, for his masterful use of foodstuffs like fresh seafood and tropical fruit from his native Jamaica.
A Healthier, Leaner, Younger You!
Pritikin is considered the only health resort in America with education and exercise programs covered by Medicare. The best part of their life-changing programs is the experts, who love to share their insights with guests. We learned tips about how to avoid the wrong foods, heart-healthy recipes (we brought home a lot of new recipes) and how to stay on track with our new year’s resolutions, among others.
With guests regarding their experience on Pritikin, we find out that a lot of them traveled to Miami to get their health back on track. That is a smart vacation!
