As part of 'body', and under the guidance of PTX instructors, guests will be put through a rigorous personal training schedule combining both group and individual sessions that focus on fitness, nutrition and performance.

They will be given plenty of time to recuperate, enjoy a daily full board dining programme of healthy and nutritious meals, drinks and snacks and make use of the dazzling array of activities and amenities on offer at Burj Al Arab.

For the 'mind' section of the programme guests will learn a number of new life skills to hold them in good stead as they prepare to embrace life after the retreat. Activities for the mind include early morning sunrise yoga sessions and daily food demonstrations by the Resort chefs to guide them in the preparation of shakes, snacks and meals with optimum nutrition for a healthy body. There will also be daily talks from PTX experts covering Nutrition, Fitness, Health & Wellbeing and the opportunity for private mentoring sessions in order to establish and achieve personal health goals.

And finally the 'spirit' will ensure that the stunning Burj Al Arab provides the ultimate sanctuary from which to embark on the journey of self-discovery. Daily 45 minute massages, Pilates and unlimited access to the spa facilities ensure guests relax, unwind and soak up everything that the hotel has to offer.

Packages can be tailored exclusively for men and women with male or female only trainers delivering sessions in separate* training facilities which include a Wellness Gym, training studios, swimming pools and extensive spa facilities.

UF review of resveratrol studies confirms potential health boost

2011-06-22

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A University of Florida review of research finds the polyphenol compound known as resveratrol found in red wine, grapes and other fruits may not prevent old age, but it might make it more tolerable. News stories have long touted resveratrol as a cure for various diseases and a preventative against aging. "We're all looking for an anti-aging cure in a pill, but it doesn't exist. But what does exist shows promise of lessening many of the scourges and infirmities of old age," said UF exercise psychologist Heather Hausenblas, one of the researchers ...

How dense is a cell?

2011-06-22

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- More than 2,000 years after Archimedes found a way to determine the density of a king's crown by measuring its mass in two different fluids, MIT scientists have used the same principle to solve an equally vexing puzzle — how to measure the density of a single cell. "Density is such a fundamental, basic property of everything," says William Grover, a research associate in MIT's Department of Biological Engineering. "Every cell in your body has a density, and if you can measure it accurately enough, it opens a whole new window on the biology of that ...

New study reduces threat level for caribou in Alberta's oilsands country

2011-06-22

U of A statistical researcher Subhash Lele was part of the team that used specially trained dogs to find scat from caribou, moose and wolves in an area south of Fort McMurray. Laboratory analysis of animal scat ...

Government should consider public health implications of all major legislation

2011-06-22

WASHINGTON — Because strong evidence indicates that policies beyond the health sector have substantial effects on people's health, all levels of U.S. government should adopt a structured approach to considering the health effects of any major legislation or regulation, says a new report by the Institute of Medicine. In addition, federal and state policymakers should review and revise public health laws so that they adequately address current health challenges. "The law has been an essential factor for improving the public's health through policies such as decreasing ...

Can humans sense the Earth's magnetism?

2011-06-22

WORCESTER, Mass. – For migratory birds and sea turtles, the ability to sense the Earth's magnetic field is crucial to navigating the long-distance voyages these animals undertake during migration. Humans, however, are widely assumed not to have an innate magnetic sense. Research published in Nature Communications this week by faculty at the University of Massachusetts Medical School shows that a protein expressed in the human retina can sense magnetic fields when implanted into Drosophila, reopening an area of sensory biology in humans for further exploration. In many ...
