Migdalia’s unique wellness program acilitate prevention and remission of:
Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, Obesity, Arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, Depression and Anxiety and more.
While there certainly is a place for medicinal intervention when treating chronic disease, research shows that there is an even stronger claim for individual authority in taking ownership over one’s health – by breaking chronic behaviors, we can help treat, reverse and avoid chronic illness.
Migdalia’s holistic approach to treating disease emphasizes a whole plant based diet, exercise, relaxation/stress management, rest, health coaching, social support.
HEART DISEASE
34% drop in LDL (bad) cholesterol in 10 days
Heart disease is the second cause of death in Israel, second to cancer.
According to The American Heart Association, 7 controllable risk factors include:
smoking
high LDL – “bad” cholesterol, and low HDL – “good” cholesterol
uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure)
physical inactivity
obesity
uncontrolled diabetes
uncontrolled stress and anger
Migdalia’s practiced dietary treatment for heart disease and hypertension includes:
Whole plant based diet with no animal protein or fat
Low quantities of oils mostly olive oil cold pressed
Foods which lower low grade chronic inflammation : whole grains, vegetables, fruit and nuts and seeds
Exclude: animal fat, margarine, sugar, alcohol, and lower in salt for hypertension
TYPE 2 DIABETES
Migdalia diet 3 times more effective than other diet plans
Type 2 Diabetes is not necessarily a degenerative and deadly disease. Today we know we can stop diabetes and beat it into remission!
Diabetes is a dangerous disease that needs to be prevented or treated with the utmost seriousness. By the time diabetes is painful or troublesome, loss of eyesight, renal failure and amputation may occur.
Substantial research shows how energetic lifestyle changes like weight loss, healthy eating and exercise can stop and reverse diabetes.
Our tailored diet to treat diabetes follows three simple rules:
It is a whole plant based diet with no animal protein or fat.
It is very reduced in free fat, just small quantities of cold pressed olive oil.
It is composed of low glycemic index foods.: legumes (beans, lentils etc), dark green vegetables, most of the fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole cereals.
We exclude: sugar, white bread, pastries with white flour, baked potatoes, children cereals with sugar
We use intermittent fasting for all diabetics because we now know blood sugar and insulin resistance can be controlled much better with two meals than with 6 meals a day.
METABOLIC SYNDROME
30% less blood pressure after a week’s treatment
Migdalia’s dietary principles and holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle.
OBESITY
Lose 1.5 – 6 kg in 10 days
Today, according to The National Institute of Health (NIH), USA, the most accepted approach to weight loss is a combination of 3 essential methods:
Diet
Exercise
Behavioral, mental change
Migdalia’s whole plant based diet has 2 approaches:
First approach is mild weight loss (500-1000 grams a week) by lowering daily caloric intake with 500-1000 calories daily. The second approach is through marked caloric restriction or intermittent fasting for those where it is not contraindicated. In this case guests can lose 3-5 kilograms per week. There is an increase in studies indicating potential healing effects of fasting. To reduce the loss of muscle protein during fasting we recommend small quantities of juice and vegetable broth of about 300 calorie per day.
Guests learn how to use tasty whole plant-based diets, exercise and stress relieving techniques to fight back obesity and overweight.
Our wellness coach will guide you in your journey to health, including daily whole plant-based cooking classes and nutritional counselling.
ARTHRITIS AND OTHER INFLAMMATORY DIESEASES
Low-grade inflammation markers normal after 10 days
Arthritis and other inflammatory diseases
Low grade inflammation or meta-inflammation is a hot-bed for most chronic diseases like atherosclerotic heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease and arthritis.
Inflammation is a good thing when is limited in time and is a response to the invasion of enemies (viruses, microbes, cuts and wounds), but when a low grade inflammation sets in for months it is a risk factor for the development of different chronic diseases including arthritis.
Low-grade inflammation is related to food:
Overeating high caloric density low nutrient density foods
Eating mostly refined foods
One of the biggest contributing factors to causing arthritis and other chronic diseases comes from dietary behavior which includes food high in calories and low in nutrients.
Migdalia’s dietary plan including whole plant based foods and increased water intake reduces inflammation – which is the starting point to healing!
DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY
You can reverse mild depression in 10 days at Migdalia
Depression and Anxiety
According to experts, 4 percent of Israelis suffer from depression but many do not seek professional help.
A quarter of women and an eighth of men will suffer from at least one episode of depression during their lifetimes.
In addition, 3-5% of teenagers suffer from depression – even the most serious types – in any given year.
As part of Migdalia’s approach to lifestyle wellness, we institute a Depression Prevention and Reversal Program including health conscious diet, exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, massage, hydrotherapy and music – which go a long way in treating depression and anxiety.
