Alkaline Fasting
Alkaline fasting is a profound detox experience without significant sacrifices.
All acid-forming foods are eliminated from the diet, and you will nourish yourself solely with vegetables, fruits, sprouts, and fresh herbs. This is intended to kickstart a long-term, healthier everyday diet. At Alphotel Stocker, fasting is about eating with full presence, savouring the simplicity. It's about finding fulfillment in restraint, chewing consciously, and being invigorated by lightness. It aims to activate the cellular-level recycling process through reduction.
