NUTRITION AND JUICING RETREAT
At Wild View Retreat our Nutrition and Juicing Retreats are extremely popular. Daily talks on preventative health is a key focus on our retreats. Our qualified BANT registered Nutritional Therapists are on side to support your retreat and provide tips and tools to take home with you for improving your daily lifestyle and healthy routine. Guests are provided with 3 delicious nutrient packed juices everyday alongside a warming nutritious soup in the evening. The juices have been carefully designed by our Nutritional Therapists to support the detox process and boost nutrient levels to enable daily participation in all the yoga and fitness classes and guided walks. All classes are optional but we will encourage you to join all of them to get the most benefit from the retreat. Our highly experienced instructors provide fun and flexible classes which are suitable for all levels, with no prior experience necessary. You will be amazed how easy you find the week, just read the reviews if you are unsure of what to expect. The busy programme of activity is deliberate to keep you distracted while you go through the fast. Nobody every goes ‘physically’ hungry, often mistaking habitual mental hunger for the real thing. On the last day of the fast guests have the option to break the fast with a light plant based meal prepared by us all in a fun workshop environment under guidance of the Nutritional Therapist. Guests finish the week feeling renewed and reenergised, armed with the tools and techniques to make positive improvements to their lives.
Why fast? What’s all the fuss about? Fasting has been around for centuries. In the 5th century Hippocrates the Greek ‘Father of Medicine’, first recognised fasting as way to prevent illness and boost immunity. By giving your digestive system a rest, there is 70% more energy that can be diverted to healing, repair and regeneration of other systems of the body. Combine this with the healing benefits of antioxidant juices and soups, its a power-packed punch of a kick start and reboot to everyone’s health.
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.
