Why what you put in your body is what you get out of it

Nutrition is an essential pillar of all of the pro­grammes at Clinique La Prairie. It’s the number-one ingredient to longevity and the most powerful tool for boosting overall wellbeing. Our experts suggests that following a probiotic and prebiotic-rich diet by incorporating fermented foods, brightly coloured plants and plant-based proteins will help restore gut health naturally. Everything starts in the gut. It’s an excel­lent way to boost immunity, prevent inflammation and the ageing of cells. What we eat influences every other aspect of our daily lives, so food should also be used in a strategic manner to increase cognitive performance or promote relaxation, depending on the time of day.

A health-conscious life­style wouldn’t be complete without the right amount of quality sleep. That’s why our experts recommend tryptophan-rich foods for dinner (such as sesame seeds, spinach, mushrooms, cashew nuts, tofu or pumpkin seeds). This is fundamental for mood, sleep, cognition and memory. Setting an alarm to go to bed and winding down before­hand is also a must. After all, it’s during our sleep where most of the body’s healing and regeneration happens.

Daily meditation, work-out and yoga sessions can be great methods for learning to disconnect fully, while breathing exercises ensure that the body gets enough oxygen in stressful situa­tions. Another tip? Use blue-purple pigmented foods in your diet, such as blueberries, eggplant, dark grapes, figs, purple onion, purple cabbage, purple cauliflower, plums, black rice, to promote neuroprotection. And learn something new every day …. It will do wonders when it comes to brain health !

Building on over 90 years of expertise, at Clinique La Prairie, we know “living fuller for longer” is within our reach to push the boundaries of longevity. We acknowledge that this quest can only be fully reached if our bodies are in an optimum state of health, and without the burden of chronic disease and frailty that comes with the process of ageing.

Slowing down the ageing process requires a multidimensional protean approach that combines the continuous advances in medical technology with the best available evolving knowledge from all the major dimensions of health including evidence-based medicine, nutrition, exercise and wellbeing.

This multidimensional protean approach is what gave rise to the 4 principles of our CLP longevity concept: 

1. Ageing in the human organism is driven by two main processes: immunosenescence and senoinflammation, known together as inflammaging.

2. Age-related changes occur on three recognizable biological levels of the human organism, the molecular, the cellular, and the organ systems. Each of these levels represent distinct opportunities for the development and application of the tools of longevity medicine.

3. Genetic and epigenetic factors combine to create individual manifestations and experiences of health and disease states driven by the processes of ageing. For this reason, the effective application of the science of longevity is complete when it is guided by the most advanced and scientifically sound individualized programs.

4. Longevity science is most effective when its application is inspired by and respects the synergistic and interconnected nature of the biologic levels of the human organism. The 4 pillars of Clinique La Prairie represent a synergistic and comprehensive philosophy that governs the application of our longevity medicine.

Clinique La Prairie is staffed with more than 50 specialists who have at their direct disposal the most advanced diagnostic and treatment tools to help guests revitalize, and live longer, fuller, healthier lives.

Evidence-based Medicine, Nutrition, Movement and Wellbeing comprise the synergistic four pillars of the CLP Longevity Concept.

Our success is measured in the ability of our guests to achieve their personal health and wellbeing goals. We are committed in this relationship as a partnership where we equip you with the best of our knowledge and methods on longevity science, and we empower you to make incremental changes in the long-term with what you learn in the short time you spend with us.

It is this partnership that determines the success of our overall CLP Longevity Concept.
