The Pritikin Program, described by its creator Nathan Pritikin as "mankind's original meal plan", became popular in the early 1980's. The focus of the Pritikin diet is unprocessed or minimally processed straight-from-nature foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes (such as black beans and pinto beans), whole grains such as brown rice, starchy vegetables like potatoes and yams, lean meat, and seafood. The Pritikin Program also emphasizes plenty of daily exercise, including at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise like brisk walking, weight training two to three times weekly, and stretching, optimally every day. It's a very low-fat plan, almost vegetarian and is geared toward preventing heart disease as well as weight loss.

The Pritikin Longevity Center and Spa is a health resort nestled in a private enclave, a gracious work of Italianate architecture, and is surrounded by 650 acres of tropical paradise at the famed Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami. The center features swimming pools, five championship golf courses, tennis courts, dazzling fountains, and meditative labyrinths.
