Fasting on vacation

What is fasting on vacation?

As the name suggests, on a fasting holiday you go “on a health holiday” and during this time you consciously refrain from increasing certain foods and drinks either entirely or only partially. When on vacation, many people find it easier to fast consistently, as professional care is provided by trained specialists such as doctors; therefore this form of vacation is enjoying increasing popularity. With a targeted fasting cure, you can increase your health, lose weight and even positively counteract certain diseases or symptoms.

Many are wondering what one can eat during these so-called fasting days on vacation. When fasting according to Buchinger, the daily diet consists of freshly squeezed fruit juices, broths, teas or mineral water, for example. The increase in these fluids is an important part of fasting, as the body is supplied with essential vitamins and minerals. This form of fasting goes back to Otto Buchinger, a German doctor who is considered the founder of this fasting method. Through a dosed administration of energy (a certain number of calories) the body should be purposefully detoxified and consequently regenerated; Losing weight is often a pleasant side effect.

With a purification (also called detox), toxic substances or harmful products of the daily metabolism are excreted. However, fasting should not only be viewed from a physical, but also from a mental or spiritual aspect. After all, a fasting vacation should lead to a holistic improvement in health. Of course, you can also lose excess pounds with a fast.
