NUTRITION AND JUICING RETREAT
Fasting has been a part of human tradition for many centuries. In the 5th century Hippocrates the Greek ‘Father of Medicine’, recommended abstinence from food to reduce symptoms of illness and boost immunity. In today’s increasingly materialistic and overindulgent society, regardless of our individual faith or non-faith traditions, we can all benefit from fasting from time to time.
Fasting has many peer reviewed evidence based health benefits:
- Improving cognitive function, brain health and memory
- Increasing energy
- Reducing toxins
- Improving cardiovascular health, normalising blood pressure and cholestrol
- Reducing insulin resistance
- Improving mood and mental health
- Reducing appetite and food cravings
- Anti-aging
- Weight loss*
*and retaining a healthy weight longterm but only as part of a transition to a primarily plant based diet that minimises processed food
At Wild View Retreat guests are provided 3 delicious juices everyday alongside a warming nutritious soup in the evening. The juices have been carefully designed by our nutritional therapist to support the detox process yet keep nutrient levels sustained to enable daily participation of the fitness and yoga classes. The busy programme of activity is deliberate to keep you distracted while you go through the fast. A daily programme of workshops and talks are provided to support improving dietary and lifestyle habits. When guests’ finish the week they feel renewed and reenergised armed with the tools and techniques to make positive improvements to their lifestyle.
On the last day of the fast guests have the option to break the fast with food samples made during cooking demos under guidance of the nutritional therapist.
All our retreats in 2019 sold out and we are delighted to be running more retreats in 2020 this time with an updated new set of 2020 nutrition and wellness talks and demos.
