Fasting
Why fast? What is all the fuss about? Fasting has been around for centuries. In the fifth century, Hippocrates, the Greek ‘Father of Medicine,' first recognized fasting as a way to prevent illness and boost immunity.
At Wild View Retreat, the nutrition and juicing retreats are extremely popular. Daily talks on preventative health are a key focus of the retreats. Their qualified BANT-registered nutritional therapists are on the side to support your retreat and provide tips and tools to take home with you for improving your daily lifestyle and healthy routine.
Fasting has many peer-reviewed, evidence-based health benefits:
Weight loss and retaining a healthy weight long-term but only as part of a transition to a primarily plant-based diet that minimizes processed food
Wild View Retreat is completely isolated and submerged in nature, accommodating up to 24 guests in twin/double or triple ensuites with first class infinity pool and yoga studio facilities that will simply take your breath away.
During this detox retreat, you will be provided three delicious juices or smoothies every day alongside a warming homemade nutritious soup in the evening, included in the price.
The juices have been carefully designed by a nutritional therapist to support the detox process yet keep nutrient levels sustained to enable daily participation in the fitness and yoga classes. The busy program of activities is deliberate to keep you distracted while you go through the fast.
Nobody ever goes ‘physically’ hungry, often mistaken 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 them all in a fun workshop environment under the guidance of the nutritional therapist.
