The short answer
Alkaline fasting is good for you any time
Basically itโs always good to eat alkaline, enjoy rest, move gently with yoga and hiking, breathe forest air and enjoy massages, liver compresses and foot baths.
Alkaline fasting gives your body a โresetโ, refreshes you and can help you lose weight โ especially when you want to let go and start new resolutions. What it is: What is alkaline fasting?
๐คฐ During pregnancy?
Alkaline fasting is not recommended during pregnancy. An alkaline-leaning, vitamin-rich diet can still feel good โ best discuss it with your doctor or midwife.

Which season suits you?
Tap a season:
A fresh start after the holidays
After Christmas and New Year many long for lightness. January is the perfect restart for your resolutions.
Plus: the snowy Ore Mountains โ winter walks and then the sauna. More: Winter holidays in the Ore Mountains.
March and April: refresh body and mind
Spring is the classic fasting season โ March and April are ideal to refresh body and mind.
The first wild herbs appear in the forest.
Eat light, be outdoors
In summer light food comes naturally โ fruit and vegetables in abundance, long days.
After hiking, our own natural lake awaits.
November: stronger into the dark season
In autumn, e.g. November, alkaline fasting helps you get through the dark season healthy and active.
Warm vegetable soups, pumpkin and liver compresses make it cosy.
