Why Detox?

Detox is a powerful way to make changes on every level of your being; because when you make a change in your physical body you will see that change manifest in your mental, emotional and spiritual life too.

It can be hard to keep healthy in today’s world, however a regular Detox can play a significant part in acheiving and maintaining optimum health and in overcoming long standing health problems.

Our bodies can become toxic in many ways; for example, through our food and drink, the air we breathe, what we put on our skin; and even by the way we think! Although the human body is designed to eliminate toxins, it can quickly become clogged up, leading to toxins becoming stored in the cells and joints. Ultimately this reduces the body’s ability to function properly and to heal itself.

The process of a well managed fasting and colon cleansing programme helps to release and eliminate unwanted toxins in a safe way. Detox helps the body to heal itself as nature intended; cleansing and repairing with the result that seemingly unrelated health problems often disappear for good.

Weight Loss and Detox

People come to our retreats for a variety of different reasons and the detox programme has helped many people overcome a wide range of health issues. In addition to helping with a specific health issue, most people also lose weight on our detox. For some people this is their primary aim of coming on detox, for others it is an added bonus. Detoxing aids the weight loss process not just due to the fact that you stop eating your normal diet for the week but for many other reasons including the following:

alkalises the body – the body retains fat as protection against the overproduction of acids produced by a typical Western diet. As ypour body becomes more alkaline so the fat is no longer needed

improves digestion – a congested bowel and sluggish digestion can both increase the fat load in the body.

improves metabolism – eating processed foods and high levels of saturated fat can affect your metabolic rate. Removing these for your diet helps to increase the rate and therefore helps you burn fat faster
