Summer is here, and barbecues have become an integral part of our warm-weather traditions. But what if this summer, you tried something new and different? We invite you to embark on a fasting or detox journey! Yes, that’s right – this summer, let’s trade meat and sausages for a healthy fast. Here are some reasons why this might be your best summer decision.
Body Cleansing and Detox
Fasting gives your digestive system a chance to rest and recover. Without the constant need to digest food, your body can focus on expelling toxins and renewing cells. Fasting contributes to better digestion, improved skin condition, and overall well-being.
Mental Clarity and Focus
Many people find that fasting helps improve mental clarity and concentration. Without the constant fluctuations in blood sugar, the mind is sharper and thoughts clearer. This is a great opportunity to focus on personal growth and self-discovery.
Weight Control
The goal of fasting is not to lose weight but to ensure that your organ systems and hormones function properly. Fasting helps achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. While summer often brings the temptation to indulge and overeat, fasting is a great way to “teach” your body to function better.
A New Perspective on Summer Traditions
Fasting is a great way to create new traditions and try something different. It’s an opportunity to bring new healthy habits into your life and enjoy the summer in a different way.
Fasting and Conscious Abstinence from Food
It’s important to distinguish between forced starvation and conscious fasting. Unwanted starvation indeed causes suffering and many serious diseases, but it differs from conscious fasting as much as a criminal’s knife differs from a surgeon’s scalpel. During fasting, a controlled process occurs in the body, where an adaptation mechanism is triggered to help retain essential nutrients and ensure proper organ function.
People who have undergone a fasting cure know that the feeling of hunger only occurs in the initial days and later disappears completely. This is due to the body’s adaptation during fasting, which helps avoid hunger psychosis and self-poisoning with metabolic waste products. During fasting, these waste products are removed from the body through special procedures, which is why therapeutic fasting includes activities such as enemas, colon cleansing, water treatments, massages, nature walks, and breathing exercises.
How to Prepare?
Before fasting, it is important to prepare. Gradually reduce your food intake and prefer lighter foods like fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Listen to Your Body
During fasting, it is important to listen to your body. If you feel tired or weak, take it easy and rest sufficiently. If fasting causes too much discomfort, take a break and consult with our medical staff if necessary.
Alternative Summer Activities
Here are some alternative activities you can enjoy without a barbecue:
Hiking and Nature Walks: Explore new trails and enjoy the fresh air.
Yoga and Meditation: Strengthen your body and mind with yoga and meditation sessions.
Reading and Self-Education: Take time to read and learn something new.

By trying a fasting or detox program, you can refresh your body and mind while still making the most of your summer.
