Vita Vie Retreat Introduces Thalasso-Fit - A New Approach to Wellness

July 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Vita Vie Retreat, known for their heart pumping Bella Boot Camp retreat, aims to promote wellness in an all new way, Thalasso-Fit. To aid weight loss, improve health and help clients aleviate tired and achy muscles and joints, Vita Vie Retreat has adopted a new philosophy called Thalasso-Fit(tm), a blend of Thalassotherapy and dynamic, full body  fitness.

The ancient Greeks developed their own system of water-based therapies which used the healing elements and properties from the Mediterranean Sea, titled Thalassotherapy. Thalasso, meaning "sea" in Greek was used to revitalize, rejuvenate and refresh the mind, body and soul. Breathing in the healing sea air, rich in negative ions and sea minerals, aids in this revitalizing and healing process. Walking on the edge of the ocean as well as in the water allows for the inhalation of sea minerals such as sodium, magnesium, chloride and sulphate which are then absorbed through the lungs and directly into the blood stream.

Sodium, the main positive ion found in sea water, is also found in extra-cellular fluids in our bodies. These fluids, such as blood plasma, bathe cells and carry out important transport functions for nutrients and waste. Positive magnesium ions are also used by the body and are an ingredient of some medicines like Epsom salts, which are commonly used to treat aches and pains. Negative chloride ions also play an important physiological role in the central nervous system and in transporting protein around the body. The effect of Thalassotherapy can be profound. Thalassotherapy has a beneficial effect on the skin, cellular exchange, respiratory system and the whole body as there will be increased oxygenation, elimination of toxins and a revitalization of the mind and body.

With many beach walks and ocean side activities included in the schedule, Vita Vie Retreat incorporates the healing of the sea and the sea air to aid in the optimal function of your body. In addition to your body's revitalization, Thalasso-Fit(tm) is also a great benefit to the mind. Partnered with NSpa at the Delray Beach Marriott and Spa Ocean Sands at the Marriott Resort and Spa, Vita Vie Retreat guests can also take advantage of the many treatments from the sea including sea salt scrubs and seaweed wraps to enhance their Thalasso-Fit(tm) experience. The sea remains a place where people relax, rejuvenate and renew and that's exactly the aim at Vita Vie Retreat.

Retreats run weekly and range from Bella Boot Camp to Private Weight Loss Retreats as well as the Vita Vie Golf Retreat. Packages from 3-7 nights are available and start at $1590. For More information call: 800-768-5708 or visit http://www.bvretreat.com.
