Palazzo di Varignana has launched a luxury Health and Wellness Retreat package, based on the Acquaviva Method.
Created by Dr. Annamaria Acquaviva, a distinguished dietician, nutritionist, and pharmacist, and the Scientific Director of Palazzo di Varignana, the Acquaviva Method brings a holistic approach to wellness, sustainability, and longevity.
The scientific direction of Dr. Acquaviva is dedicated to designing a vacation primarily focused on wellness, sustainability, and longevity: restaurant menus, holistic activities, beauty treatments and “transformative” experiences are selected based on the scientific evidence that demonstrates its effectiveness.
Dr. Annamaria Acquaviva, Scientific Director of Palazzo di Varignana, said: “Scientific research confirms that the human body is an extremely fascinating mechanism that functions optimally only if all parts are in balance with each other. Epigenetics, in fact, studies how environmental factors and lifestyle can influence the expression of genes, promoting health, disease or premature aging.
A conscious lifestyle helps to control the running of the “clock hands” dictated by unhealthy behaviours. It is therefore possible to modulate our DNA through strategies to express our full psycho-physical potential, create harmony between mind and body and promote healthy longevity.
Aquaviva Method: 5 Pillars of Health
- Nutrition – functional and nutritional nutrition plays a crucial role in a person’s health and well-being
- Inner harmony and balance – full well-being is achieved by virtue of a state of harmony and inner peace
- Physical activity – an integral part of healthy habits
- Sleep & rest – sleep is one of the fundamental pillars for psycho-physical and cognitive well-being
- Food & cosmetic integration – nutrition is not always sufficient on its own to provide nutrients, vitamins, mineral salts, and antioxidant active ingredients. For this reason, endogenous and exogenous integration can fill this gap
