Detox retreat
How are you feeling lately? Healthy, full of energy? Or do you feel sluggish, tired, old and bloated? Do you feel that you could be happier, look younger and don t live your life to your full potential? If the latter then you may consider going to a detox retreat!
What is a detox retreat?
A detox retreat is a place where you can fast and cleanse your body of physical and emotional toxins that accumulates from modern stressful lifestyles. You can opt for a 4, 7 or 10 program where you will eat limited food and have colonic irrigation treatments on a daily basis. A good retreat will also provide yoga classes, daily massages, a fasting consultation, a fasting guide and notes, and other relaxing and enjoyable activities like walking or fitness classes.
Detox retreats have become increasingly popular and you will find them all over the world.
Why do I need to fast?
Today s life is fast, with fast food made for immediate consumption, vegetables that contain pesticides and meat that contains many preservatives or is injected with antibiotics. Processed food is also loaded with saturated fat, sugar and salt. If you combine the over consumption of these with stress and the pace we live at, it is no wonder that toxins accumulate in the body and often makes us fat.
When the body is overwhelmed by these excess toxins they bypass the elimination channels and are directly stored in fatty tissues under the skin, to prevent them from entering the blood stream. As toxins continue to build up, new cell formation is disrupted and your immune system is weakened. By fasting or drastically restricting the amount of calories eaten even for a short time you can rest your digestive system and cleanse your elimination channels. If you have excess weight it will help you to lose this weight fast.
How will I cope with the fasting?
You may be surprised at how easy it can be. Many people don t experience any hunger at all as they just feel so much better. You will still drink a lot of water and will be provided with all necessary nutrients through herbs and special drinks. Most good retreats will also provide good supervision through experienced staff. The beauty of a detox retreat is that fasting is combined with activities like yoga, massage or even dancing so the whole process can be fun and relaxing.
