Good morning peeps , meditation done.

Quote for the Day:

“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.”

Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison, the genius who invented the light-bulb, had another ‘lightbulb’ moment when he said today’s quote:

“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition”.

And 2,000 years before that Hippocrates, the father of medicine, was so right when he said,

‘let food be thy medicine’.

And yet fast forward to today and a recent study of Americans showed that many Americans are undernourished. Yes, you read that correctly – despite the USA’s high levels of obesity, much of its population is undernourished! For example, only 11% of people meet the daily recommended intake of fibre and only five per cent consume the recommended amounts of potassium. A large majority also fall short on vitamins A, C, D, calcium and iron – instead eating more saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium than recommended. These stats are unbelievable and the UK is no better.

But with the right nutrition we can really improve our health.

What good can nutrition really do?

Heart
Researchers showed that a heart-healthy eating plan rich in fruits, vegetables and fish significantly reduced the chance of a second heart attack and stroke in people with cardiovascular disease.

Diabetes
Another study from Harvard showed that eating more whole fruits, particularly blueberries, grapes, and apples, was significantly associated with a lower risk of type-2 diabetes.

Mental Health
Various studies have linked a higher intake of omega 3 with improvements in mental health.

Stroke
A Mediterranean eating pattern supplemented with nuts can reduce your stroke risk according to the American Heart Association’s review of the literature.

And for my own injury I have been looking at the food that helps with Osteoarthritis of the hip, which includes,

Fish Omega 3

Olive Oil

Milk, yoghurt and cheese

Broccoli

Green Tea

Oranges

Whole grain rice and cereals

Beans

Garlic

Pistachio nuts

Turmeric

At our Elysium luxury lifestyle clubs that offer a blend of high-end holistic, fitness, dance and yoga, balanced against a members club with luxury guesthouse, we will be trying to educate our members about how to take your power back as an individual and away from the doctor. YOU can treat yourself and the prescription is simple – real, fresh, honest, unprocessed food in sensible portions.

How great is that. Our first club will be Elysium Fields at Thorpe Constantine  just over an hour away from London and the Ethicurean  will design the food and we will prescribe the food for you and your lifestyle needs in in The Glasshouse, our purpose built chill out zone and refuelling area, designed by award winning architect and glass specialist Brent Richards.

The Glasshouse will be just across the courtyard from The Granary, which will be the onsite Ethicurean Restaurant at Thorpe Constantine, which will be the leading destination venue within a 100 mile radius, ideal for weddings, special events and all sorts of health, fitness and rejuvenation activities with 3,000 acres of farmland, formal gardens, a walled garden and beautiful agricultural buildings, including granary, byre, bull pens and many more buildings with original features, fixtures and fittings.

It has some of the finest examples of classic English countryside you could ever hope to see.

The Clock Tower and Stables will become a haven for health and wellbeing,

Facilities include a yoga studio, spinning studio, Barre/Dance studio, HIIT factory, PT Pod, changing rooms, showers, steam, sauna, cold plunge, treatment rooms, consultation rooms, reception area, brasserie, chill out zone, Japanese garden, library/ study/work area, members lounge and bar and boutique guest rooms.

The grounds will provide outdoor fitness and wellbeing activities ustilising the natural resources provided by the beauty of the Estate.

Refuelling our members properly and efficiently after all their various physical activities is a key part of the Elysium philosophy.

Time, comfort and taste is of the essence and in Iain and Matthew Pennington of the Ethicurean, we have found the perfect partners and Elysium Fields at Thorpe Constantine is the perfect place to provide this.

Have a superb Saturday and a wonderful Easter weekend.

“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.”
