The philosophy behind VIVAMAYR is to enhance people’s quality of life in a targeted way by improving their health. The VIVAMAYR Health Concept has been specifically developed for this purpose. At our VIVAMAYR Medical Health Resorts, this approach is always 100% tailored to the individual needs of the guest. Food culture, and by extension nutrition, is possibly the most significant element of all.

Changing our eating habits allows us to boost our immune system so that illnesses can be prevented or healed. A dietary switch also helps repel intruders such as viruses. Achieving the right acid-base balance in the body is one important prerequisite in this regard. Alkaline vegetables therefore have a crucial role to play in proactive healthcare!

Fresh and seasonal produce has the potential to become a “health hero”. This is why the title of our new VIVAMAYR Cookbook is dedicated to the “stars of the vegetable world”. We hope that our health-related recommendations will become your lifelong companions. Discover the power of plant-based cooking, and embrace a whole new attitude to life. Welcome to the healthy world of VIVAMAYR!

The VIVAMAYR Health Concept The VIVAMAYR Health Concept

Balance begins in the stomach Balance begins in the stomach We feel most at ease when all areas of life are in balance. We have to perform at work and also want to enjoy leisure and relaxation. We need to take time to nurture our relationships and time for ourselves. The same goes for the body. Physical equilibrium is a prerequisite for lasting good health and for quality of life. Our organism is equipped with a whole series of compensatory mechanisms in order to maintain this balance. In the long term, however, these are unable to cope with stress and over-exertion during our everyday routine, neglectful eating habits and the excess consumption of acidic foods and treats. Preservation of health thus increasingly becomes a balancing act. But there is some good news. Our lifestyle can make us prone to sickness, but we can also avoid illnesses if we shape it in the right way. The VIVAMAYR Health Concept has been developed to provide you with active and sustainable support in this regard. In order to grasp the significance of nutrition for our health, simply consider the fact that each one of us consumes three or more meals every single day. If we extrapolate this over an entire lifetime, then it soon becomes apparent that our eating habits are more powerful than we think. The Austrian doctor Franz Xaver Mayr was quick to recognise the health-enhancing potential of nutrition combined with digestion. The research he carried out laid the foundations for the dietary treatment of a whole range of disorders. The VIVAMAYR Medical Health Resort has continued to develop his methods and has created a modern form of Mayr Medicine by adding functional myodiagnostics. Treatment is also supplemented by orthomolecular medicine. The VIVAMAYR Health Concept translates these findings and experiences which have been gleaned over a period of many years into practical preventative measures which can benefit us in our everyday lives. “Strengthening the immune system is at the very heart of the VIVAMAYR medical approach. Healthy nutrition is the most important preventative factor.” Professor Harald Stossier “Our immune system is like a police force, ambulance service and fire brigade all rolled into one. The fewer secondary sites it is required to attend, the better it will be able to take care of our health.” Dr. Maximilian Schubert
