Fasting will cleanse and detox your body

Why is detox fasting beneficial for the body?

• During the fasting process tissues and cells in the body are thoroughly cleansed helping them to regenerate.
• The detoxing process helps to stimulate the body's own self-healing abilities.
• A period of fasting helps the immune system to rebuild.
• Detoxing benefits the metabolic and digestive systems as well as having a profound impact on the mind.
• Fasting is one of the few successful biological measures for detoxification in our polluted environment.
• By fasting, the body saves the energy required by digestion, which represents 30 per cent of the total energy expended. The energy thus made available in used in the healing process.

What are the rules for a successful detox fast?

• Do not eat for one or two or more weeks. Only drink tea, vegetable broth, fruit and vegetable juice and water, more than you need to quench your thirst.
• Leave out everything not necessary to living. That means all things that have become enjoyable habits, but harm the body during fasting: nicotine and alcohol in every form, sweets and coffee; medication unless essential. Diuretics, appetite depressants and laxatives should never been taken.
• Free yourself as far as possible from your everyday routine. Get out of professional and family obligations. Stay away from the telephone and your appointment book. Renounce the newspapers, radio and television. Instead of outside stimuli listen to yourself. Follow directives that come from within yourself.
• Behave naturally: listen to your body and its needs. If you are tired, get some sleep. If you need exercise, walk, swim, do sports. Do all the things you like – read, dance, listen to music, enjoy yourself.

What detox fasting is not:

• Our fasting programme is not about starving.
• It is not about deprivation or want.
• A detox fasting is not about just eating less food.
• Forgoing meat for a few days.
