Intermittent fasting prioritises the fasting rhythm. The fasting phase allows the body to burn fat continuously without constant replenishment. The most popular method is the 16:8 approach, where healthy, sugar-free, protein-rich food with plenty of vegetables and low-sugar fruits can be consumed within an 8-hour window, followed by a strict 16-hour fast ideally starting at 6 p.m. Ample sleep is crucial, as is drinking water and tea. Black unsweetened coffee is also recommended due to its appetite-suppressing effects. This fasting variant is further supported by exercise and physical activity. Intermittent fasting is a true fountain of youth, as it slows down the ageing process of body cells and positively impacts blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.

• Reduced-calorie or alkaline diet in a 16:8 interval rhythm
• Water and tea station in the room

• Participation in the fitness and activity programme

Fasting is a natural method of preventive medicine, with the most famous being the Buchinger method developed by Dr. Otto H. F. Buchinger.

The method "Fasting for the Healthy" differs from Buchinger fasting only in terms of responsibility (self-directed or medically supervised), the objective of the measure (health promotion or disease treatment), and the duration of the fast. This gentle liquid therapy for weight loss, detoxification, and cleansing involves a strict abstinence from food and luxury items for a limited period. Instead, after intestinal cleansing, there is a focus on ample fluid intake in the form of water, tea, vegetable broths, and juices. To maintain circulation, walking and hiking are recommended, alternated with periods of rest and relaxation. Towards the end of the fasting period, there is a careful reintroduction of nutrition. Fasting can help alleviate symptoms of rheumatism, gout, diabetes, skin and intestinal diseases, and creates optimal conditions for enhanced joie de vivre, increased vitality, and a strengthened immune system.

It's all about balance! Alkaline fasting is not a fasting therapy, but a gourmet diet that can be easily integrated into everyday life! It consciously avoids acid-forming foods and indulgences such as meat, sausages, eggs, fatty dairy products, sweets, and alcohol.

Alkaline-forming foods such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, sprouts, mushrooms, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, almonds, and high-quality vegetable oils are used. Only water and tea are consumed. With a targeted active and relaxation program, the acid-base balance is quickly restored. This form of detoxification can aid in the treatment of rheumatic diseases, skin problems, migraines, and performance decline, and improves overall health.
