The Pritikin diet

Almost 50 years ago, Nathan Pritikin, at 42 years old, suffered from severe heart disease. He created the Pritikin Program - and reversed his own heart disease. The Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa is now a health resort in Florida where guests come from all over the world to achieve good health and weight-loss results.

The Pritikin philosophy 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.

Studies have found that the Pritikin program has helped many in:

• achieving healthy, lifelong weight control
• Dramatically reducing total and LDL "bad" cholesterol
• Controlling insulin levels so effectively that many diabetes no longer require drugs or insulin shots
• Lowering blood pressure to the point where thousands of hypertensives graduate medication-free
• Eliminating the need for bypass surgery and angioplasty, and
• Substantially reducing risks of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and cancers of the breast, colon, and prostate
