Wellness Travel: This Autumn, prepare your body’s defences with a brand-new Immunity support programme at PGA Catalunya, Spain
From October, a new two-day Immunity Support Programme launches at Spanish healthy lifestyle holiday resort PGA Catalunya Golf and Wellness to strengthen the immune system ahead of the winter season. Devised in partnership with integrative medicine expert Dr Saskia Kloppenberg, the evidence-based treatment plan combines holistic therapies and cutting-edge technology to boost circulation and deliver key vitamins at a cellular level – an effective pretentative measure for those susceptible to seasonal illness.
The resort’s immunity-centric treatment plan blends holistic treatments like their Signature Hammam and detoxifying Kneipp therapy with mindful movement, alongside results-driven technology. A carefully administered Intravenous Vitamin Infusion delivers nutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin C directly into the bloodstream rather than via the stomach (which can deplete many of the benefits), to support the immune system’s optimal functionality. Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy boosts oxygen in the blood by 20 times and Photobiomodulation – an innovative red-light therapy that promotes soft tissue healing and enhances defensive cell mechanisms.
Participants also benefit from an antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic diet curated by the resort’s resident nutritionist Miriea Cervera, optimising the body’s oxidative process and defending against cellular damage associated with stress, seasonal weather changes and illness. The immunity-boosting, natural menu features seeds and nuts, leafy green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, mushrooms, fermented ingredients, healthy fats, spices and aromatic herbs.
“As the days become darker and the weather shifts in Autumn, our bodies typically become more vulnerable to stress and tiredness, affecting our sleep and skin. Our aim was to design the perfect short retreat for solo travellers looking to prepare themselves mentally and physically for the winter months, particularly those susceptible to catching colds at this time of year. This unique mix of treatments and technology, delivered within our peaceful, natural environment will leave guests feeling revived and ready to combat the seasonal viruses prevalent over the winter months.“
