       The Pritikin Longevity Center is a serious, science-based health program, where guests come from all over the world to achieve unparalleled health and weight-loss results. It offers a lifestyle-change program unsurpassed at any other health resort.
       Pritikin is situated in a lush tropical setting at the luxurious Turnberry Isle Yacht Club, in Aventura, Florida, surrounded by championship golf courses and turquoise waterways The building is magnificent. You enter into a regal marble lobby. The main lounge and dining areas are constructed of dark, rich woods, with parquet wood flooring and elegant carpeting. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford views of turquoise waterways, where expensive yachts are docked, and an inviting pool with a bridge and waterfall. Tennis and golf facilities are nearby.  
      Its setting is a stunning, waterfront resort with 75 very large, deluxe rooms or suites – all with a spectacular water view and balcony. Each room features exceptional amenities like huge whirlpool tubs, plush terry cloth bathrobes, and cotton slippers. You’ll also enjoy fresh orchids, turndown service, an inspiring “thought of the day” tucked under your pillow every night, and more.
        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. 
       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 diabetics no longer require drugs or insulin shots
