When is a good time for alkaline fasting?
You might ask yourself when it is most appropriate to focus on Alkaline fasting to get involved. Basically, it is always good for the body to eat a diet that emphasises alkaline foods, enjoy peace and quiet, experience gentle exercise through yoga and hiking, breathe in the forest air and support the body with massage, liver wraps and foot baths.
Die Wirkung all dieser Elemente kann man vertiefen, indem man schon vor dem Basenfasten-Urlaub anfängt, den Körper und den Geist um- und einzustellen. Dadurch ist der Übergang fließend und die Entgiftung kann gradueller, verlängert, sanfter und tiefer gehen. Zum Beispiel hilft es, den Konsum von koffeinhaltigen Getränken, wenn man sie regelmäßig konsumiert, zu reduzieren – allen voran Kaffee, aber auch manche Tees wie Schwarztee oder Matchatee und dunkle Schokolade. Es werden nämlich keine „aufputschende“ Getränke, auch nicht Grüntee und Yerba Mate, während der Zeit des Basenfastens konsumiert. Daher hilft es, sie bereits vor dem Basenfasten graduell mit anderen Kräutertees oder Wasser zu ersetzen, um Kopfschmerzen und Müdigkeitserscheinungen zu Beginn des Basenfastens entgegenzuwirken.
...when you want to refresh yourself and gain more lightness
As alkaline fasting gives the body a "reset", refreshes it, in some cases leads to weight loss and detoxification, times in life or in the year when you let go of old things, make new resolutions or focus on your health are particularly suitable. For some, this may be the time after the Christmas holidays and New Year's Eve festivities. For many, spring is a particularly good time to refresh and regenerate physically and mentally, for example March and April. Alkaline fasting can also be a good idea in autumn or in months when you would otherwise experience a slump and want to stay healthy and active, such as in November.
At the Zollhaus, alkaline fasting is possible all year round, as our guest advisors, who are specially trained in alkaline fasting, are always available to carry out the programme and personal discussions.
Alkaline fasting is not recommended during pregnancy
However, it is important to point out that it is recommended to refrain from alkaline fasting during pregnancy. However, an alkaline diet can of course also feel good during pregnancy, as you want to keep your body fit and eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially during this time.
Alkaline fasting comprises 5-10 days in the customs house
The alkaline fasting programmes at the Zollhaus last 5, 7 or 10 days. Depending on the length of the programme, 1-2 yoga sessions are already included (you can book more on site), 1-2 alkaline massages, a guided hike and several alkaline foot baths and liver wraps. The area has many well-signposted hiking trails, so you can take a few steps on your own through the woods and fields every day.
Especially in winter, saunas support alkaline fasting
Entry to the Wellness landscapewhich consists of four saunas - one of them Infrared sauna - included. Taking a sauna can be very helpful during alkaline fasting as it supports the body's purification and detoxification process. In the sauna, the body is stimulated to sweat out toxins through the skin. The infrared sauna is particularly recommended here, as its deeper effect is said to have a stronger detoxifying effect than a conventional Finnish sauna. The infrared radiation penetrates deep into the tissue layers and makes the body sweat. The heat of the sauna also stimulates the circulation and promotes blood flow, which in turn supports the elimination of toxins through the skin.
If you prefer a classic style, you can of course also choose the Finnish sauna sweat and thus purify yourself. Another way to support the detoxification process in the body is to Salt sauna. In the salt sauna, the evaporation of salt water creates a salty microclimate, which has a positive effect on the respiratory tract and metabolism. This in turn helps to remove harmful substances from the body. So even in winter we can optimise our body's Alkaline fasting and regeneration.
