Intermittent Fasting 16:8

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.

Fasting for Health

#2 Best Seller

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.

Alkaline Fasting

from$915

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.

Introductory talk and tips for the time afterwards
First liver compress included

Fasting is a key method in longevity medicine!The Schroth therapy is a natural healing process that strengthens the body's self-healing and defensive capabilities. Success is based on the four pillars of diet & nutrition, wraps & detox, drinking and dry days, as well as rest & exercise. The Schroth diet is low-calorie (about 800-850 Kcal), predominantly alkaline and gentle. For Schroth wraps, one is enveloped in moist cold linen sheets, packed with several hot water bottles. This induces a healing fever that flushes out metabolic residues. It boosts the body's defenses and trains the skin for detoxification. The therapy doctor determines drinking and dry days to further enhance the skin's drainage function. Alongside water, tea, and juices, a therapy wine is permitted on drinking days. On drinking days, sports and exercise are recommended, while dry days focus on rest, relaxation techniques, and massages.

I had imagined a week of fasting would be terrible. But it was a great week. Thanks to the wonderful hotel staff, the kitchen and the external staff who provided a varied program. The rooms and service were excellent. And someone must have ordered the weather. Renting a bike was very easy. And great hiking trails in the area. We would love to come back.
