What sounds like a rather unhealthy lifestyle is unfortunately increasingly becoming a reality for many people in our hectic times. And even if you top your lunch roll with cheese instead of sausage or replace the uncomplicated pasta dish with a rice dish, we should be aware of one thing: Many foods that we eat every day form acids in our body. Coffee, alcohol, sugar and dairy products in particular are so-called "strong acidifiers". The result can be hyperacidity, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, obesity or skin problems.Quite simply: by consuming basic foods. Because an alkaline diet can help to regulate the sensitive acid-base balance in our body. There is a particularly attractive option to eat an alkaline diet on an alkaline fasting holiday. But what is actually meant by "alkaline fasting"?
"Alkaline fasting" is the name given to a fasting regimen in which you only consume pure alkaline meals. How is that supposed to work? Well, relatively easy! The magic words are fruit and vegetables. Because base-forming foods such as apples, broccoli, fresh herbs or potatoes can help to bring our natural acid-base balance back into balance. In contrast to other fasting methods (such as the therapeutic fasting according to Buchinger) you do not have to "starve" with an alkaline fasting cure in the BIO HOTEL - on the contrary: You enjoy tasty, alkaline dishes made from fruit and vegetables and can eat as much of them as you want ! The only important thing is that you follow a plan.
But that's not all: In addition to the deacidification effect, an alkaline fasting cure in the hotel can help you detoxify and cleanse your body. For information: Toxins and acids are excreted to a limited extent via organs such as the lungs, kidneys, intestines or skin. If these substances are deposited, one speaks of so-called slag. However, in order for our body to be able to effectively excrete these undesirable substances, healthy deacidification mechanisms are required. And this is where the alkaline fasting regimen comes into play. The term alkaline fasting thus also describes a gentle option for purification (also called detox).
Just imagine your natural acid-base balance as a scale. If you eat a balanced diet, i.e. acid-forming foods such as meat and grains as well as alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables, you keep your "scales" - to put it simply - in balance. In the case of hyperacidity, however, this natural balance is thrown into disarray. Health complaints can be the consequence. During an alkaline fasting cure in a hotel, you work specifically on bringing your acid-base balance back into harmony.
In principle, it is not possible to say in general how an alkaline fasting cure works in a hotel (people are simply too different for that). Nevertheless, the guests of our base fasting hotels repeatedly report the following positive effects:
- A completely new body feeling
- Noticeable vitality
- Improved performance
- Less headache
- Awareness to have a healthy diet
Due to the targeted alkaline (and healthy) diet, it may well be that you feel noticeably lighter after a base fasting cure in the hotel. In other words, an alkaline fast can also help you shed some unwanted pounds. A pleasant side effect, so to speak.
A base fasting holiday in the BIO HOTEL usually lasts 7 days. In this alkaline fasting week you will be accompanied by experienced experts and the alkaline meals follow a specific plan. Of course, you can also spend a longer holiday in the base fasting hotel and expand it with numerous other activities, such as hiking or wellness treatments. Those who would like to “get a taste” of the world of alkaline fasting will also find arrangements in the offers of our hotels that last less than 7 nights.
In our Alkal Fasting Hotels you will find qualified and competent staff who will accompany you professionally on your Alkal Fasting cure. At the beginning of your stay, there are usually initial nutritional discussions. In addition to the purely alkaline diet, the price usually includes additional services such as liver wraps or special alkaline baths - after all, the goal is also to purify and cleanse the body. You can arrange the time between meals as you wish. For example, some guests prefer to relax in the wellness area with Ayurveda. Others opt for exercise programs such as hiking in nature. On the last day of your vacation at the Alkaline Fasting Hotel, you will again have discussions and receive valuable tips for an alkaline-rich diet in everyday life.
For example, a day on an alkaline fasting holiday could look like this:
- Your day starts with a delicious earthen coat flake muesli and fruit
- Then it's off to the wellness area for a soothing aroma massage
- After your treatment, relax in the relaxation area and enjoy a fragrant herbal tea
- At lunchtime you can look forward to crispy salads and warm vegetable dishes
- In the afternoon you are bursting with energy and dare to take a short hike through idyllic natural landscapes
- In the evening you can enjoy a warming soup with boiled vegetable carpaccio
- The rest of your alkaline fasting day is spent in your room, reading a good book and sleeping heavenly in natural bedding
