| Why detox? |

The simple answer is because you’ll feel a million times healthier, younger, happier, prettier and wiser at the end of it than when you started. You’ll come out with a renewed passion for life. And another one. This is a unique opportunity for you to get in touch with yourself – with the little girl, woman, friend and sister within; with your sad, happy, shy, angry self. Get in touch and give this girl a big hug. How often has that happened in your life? More reasons? Pressing the ‘Reset’ ButtonWhen you detox you abstain from all that is toxic to your body and mind. Instead of constantly eliminating fresh toxins in the system, your body can direct all its energy towards the removal of old, accumulated waste. At the same time, fresh minerals gained from detoxing through a juice fast (our method) will keep you feeling fresh, pure and vibrant. Giving Your Body a BreakThe digestive process requires plenty of energy (in fact, most of the energy we get from food is spent on digesting it). Even if your diet is optimal, digesting it still requires a great deal of effort. Detoxing through a fast gives your over-worked organs, which labour 24/7 in an attempt to keep up with you, a welcome break. Biggest bonus, though? Your mind gets a break, too. Losing WeightWeight loss is a perfectly normal side-effect of fasting. The energy you release by freeing up the digestive system allows your body to process excess weight and fat it could otherwise never get to in the normal run of things. Losing weight may prove easier than through any other diet you may have experienced. Promoting Anti-agingThe aging process thrives on the toxins provided by an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. A good detox, especially a nutritious juice fast, allows for deep tissue cleanse and re-nourishment, thus acting as a revitalising brake for aging. A post-detox sensible diet and lifestyle will reinforce the cell regeneration effects. Improving Your HealthDetoxing through fasting has been known for millennia as a prime healing tool (nicknamed the ‘knifeless operation’). A regular detox will keep you in a constant state of prevention, and could improve or even heal acute and chronic conditions (e.g. migraines, skin ailments, hypertension, digestive complaints, repeated colds and sore throat, chronic inflammations and infections and menstrual disorders), especially if followed by sensible diet and lifestyle improvements. Touching Your SoulIf you’re tuned into all things spiritual, you’ll find it a lot easier to connect with your inner source when on a detox. Freed from attachment to food, your mind will be liberated to vibrate at higher awareness levels. A juice fast detox grants you faster access to a deep meditative state and allows for heightened sensitivity and compassion.
