Juice Master, the juicing company owned and run by director Jason Vale, has launched its second retreat. Juicy Oasis launched in Portugal in June
2013, offering week-long residential juicing and exercise programmes. The new retreat is open year-round, so the offering includes a gym and spa – the Eden Spa – to ensure guests have fitness and relaxation options whatever the weather. This second location, which is wholly
owned by Vale, is bigger and more luxurious than the original retreat in Turkey. “There’s a beautiful relaxation room with suspended cocoons, a hot pool, five treatment rooms and an outdoor loft sauna overlooking the lake,” says Vale. “There’s also a yoga dome, a

huge exercise platform overlooking the lake, and a small gym with equipment from Life Fitness and TRX.” The original Turkish retreat has been

running for around 10 years, and has now settled at a location in the mountains outside Dalaman. It offers a mountain water pool, a covered space for exercise classes during the heat of the day, a platform for morning and evening sessions, and beautiful surroundings for daily hill walks. Vale now has plans for more Juicy Oases:

“I’d like two in the States – one on the east coast and one on the west. I’d also like one in Australia and one in England, in Cornwall.” For a full report on the Juice Master philosophy and business, please turn to p38.
Obesity is a disease, declares AMA
The American Medical Association (AMA) – the leading physicians’ organisation in the US – has voted to declare obesity a disease, in a move that effectively categorises 78 million American adults and 12 million children as having a medical condition requiring treatment. “Recognising obesity as a disease will help
change the way the medical community tackles this complex issue that affects approximately one in three Americans,” says AMA board member Dr Patrice Harris. The AMA’s decision lifts obesity above
the status of a health condition, disorder or marker for heightened risk of disease

– as high cholesterol is for heart disease, for example – and essentially makes diagnosis and treatment of obesity a physician’s professional obligation. “This will force primary care physicians
to address [obesity], even if we don’t have a cure for it,” says Dr Rexford Ahima of the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Prior to the vote, the AMA sought advice on
whether its action might help affected patients get improved access to useful treatment, or simply further stigmatise a condition that has numerous causes but few easy fixes.
