Hydrate and feel great
It’s amazing how much better we feel when we eat good food, drink plenty of water, make time to relax, breathe some fresh air and do regular exercise.
Drinking water keeps your body hydrated and moisturised from the inside out. It’s also an ideal way to ease your body into healing itself naturally.
Water fasting therapy is often considered the most effective manner to increase elimination of waste and enhance the healing process of the body. Water fasting is not the same as starvation. Unlike fasting, starvation is a process in which the body uses essential tissue for fuel, when not eating. Water fasting spares essential tissue (vital organs) while utilising nonessential tissue (primary fatty issue but also adhesions and swelling etc.) for fuel.
