Juice Fasting

Why juice fast?

Because of unhealthy and excessive eating, stress, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle our body is filled with wastes and toxins. This can, over the years, lead to physical symptoms: fatigue, lethargy, aching joints and muscles, recurring colds and sniffels, menstrual problems, ... So every now and then, it's good to do a combination of fasting and exercise. This gives the body a chance to purify itself.
You can follow detox programs of 8, 12 or 15 days in Portugal. During these programmes, you get fruit and vegetable juices three times a day and a vegetable soup in the evening. These juices contain all the vitamins and minerals that the body needs to function properly. Because your body does not have to digest during the fasting, you have more energy for other things, such as sports.

There are several reasons for following a detox week, including:

Detoxification of the intestines and restoring the body
Upgrading condition and improving resistance
Slowing down or just relaxation
Lose weight: because of the sports program you will also lose weight
A start to conscious living, eating and exercise
To recover the balance between body and mind

Mens sana in corpore sano

Beside the bodily wastes, a detox holiday also affects the mental "toxins" such as anger, rage, hatred, grief, jealousy, intolerance and mourning. This is less woolly than it initially sounds. Our mood has an impact on the condition of our body. Emotions attach themselves to our bodies and thus increase wear.

An excess of stored waste can cause physical and psychological symptoms, such as allergic reactions, asthma, irritated skin, loss of sleep and smaller obscure ailments. Eventually, we no longer function properly and we get trapped in a vicious circle of feeling bad and then get ill.

For all these reasons it is good to detox occasionally. A moment of reflection, a time to cleanse and recharge.

Programme

First you will have a personal intake interview with our natural therapist. She will thoroughly discuss your general health, weight, blood pressure and fat percentage with you. After the detox programme, we will evaluate your personal results.

Every morning, lunch and afternoon you will get a tasty fruit or vegetable juice and in the evening eat a soup of fresh vegetables.

The following sports classes are given daily:

Hiking in the beautiful surroundings
Aqua aerobics, aqua fitness and aqua jogging
BBB or aerobics or pilates
Stretching or yoga

In the warm summer months, the programme is adjusted to the temperature so that the activities take place in the cooler times of the day.

The programme comes with a complementary lymphatic therapy, a half-hour massage and two trips. Both trips are to typical Portuguese cities:

Albufeira, with its stunning views overlooking the ocean, is the most popular touristic attraction of the Algarve,.

Loulé is a mountain town with a gypsy and a farmers market offering a variety of local products.
