Our Approach to Health & Wellness
At The Hydro, we promote a preventative health lifestyle with a particular emphasis on both exercise and diet.
To achieve this outcome, we design a meal plan to cleanse your system.
We recommend specific treatments to stimulate, detoxify and rejuvenate your body’s essential functions.
We advocate particular exercise programmes to promote general vitality.
We encourage the art of relaxation – one of the most neglected, yet essential, antidotes to modern lifestyles.
And we endeavour to reinforce your self-belief and motivate you to embrace this new lifestyle philosophy.
Good Health Must be Sustainable
Sustainable Health stems from a belief in that human well-being is not isolated, but intricately linked to the health of the world around us.
Responsible farming practices stand as the foundation of human well-being, forging an unbreakable connection between the Earth’s health and the vitality of its inhabitants.
At The Hydro, we actively embrace the connection between a healthy environment and our individual well-being.
To that end, we are constantly upgrading the Hydro farm to achieve a fully-circular, carbon-neutral future.
The Vital Link between Our Health and The Environment
Clean air, pure water, fertile soil and abundant biodiversity, directly impacts our ability to lead healthy lives.
The availability of nutrient-rich foods and the preservation of natural ecosystems all contribute to our physical and mental vitality.
By embracing eco-conscious choices and reducing our ecological footprint, we contribute to the preservation of our planet’s resources, ensuring they are available for future generations.
The Roots of Wellness
At The Hydro, we practice the principles and techniques of both soil regeneration and syntropic farming.
This approach mimics the structure and functioning of natural forests to create productive and sustainable food systems; to create a holistic and sustainable farming method.
Our focus on soil health, nutrient cycling and ecological balance, promotes long-term soil fertility, reduces the need for external input and supports the regeneration of natural ecosystems within the Hydro’s unique agricultural landscape.
