Join The Rosati's For A Dream Trip To Italy
|
|
We invite you to join the Rosati's on a dream trip to Italy, November 20th to 27th. You will be picked up at Fiumicino, Rome's airport and transported to Locanda Rosati, a country inn just outside of the idyllic town of Ovieto, about halfway between Rome and Florence. We will enjoy La Dolce Vita, the Italian lifestyle, with breakfast and dinner at the Locanda, where 80 percent of the food is organically grown on their farm and our very low sodium cuisine requests are deliciously prepared.
To our knowledge, this is the only cardiologist and dietitian led Italian tour available, where you will enjoy what many consider the best "local" food and wine in the world -- and actually return home healthier! Leisurely daily outings will include visits to a local winery for lunch and a wine tasting, a visit to a local frantoio (where olives are being pressed to make olive oil), the magnificent towns of Assisi, Civita di Bagnoreggio, Orvieto and a local spa or Montalcino. We will also visit a sheep farm and assist in making and consuming the best Pecorino cheese (from sheep's milk) you've ever tasted.
Sunday, November 27th, we will return to Fiumicino. The cost of the trip including transportation in Italy, lodging, all breakfasts and dinners, and all but 3 lunches, guides and two cooking classes at the Locanda, is expected to be around $3,000 per person. The final cost will depend on the number of participants and the exchange rate closer to the time of the trip.

In this webinar, Drs. Francis Neelon and Robert Rosati review the rationale and results of treating patients with Type 2 Diabetes with the Rice Diet.
They discuss the results of other researchers who have compared the effects of medications vs. lifestyle modification (i.e., diet and exercise) in preventing the progression of abnormal glucose tolerance to frank diabetes. In brief summary, it is safe to say that medications help but lifestyle factors win hands-down.
They also share the results we have obtained with patients on the Rice Diet, including the improvement in hemoglobin A1c (a long-term measure of average blood sugar), fasting blood sugar, and ability to discontinue the use of medication.
