What you eat and drink is the first line of defence against toxic overload, which can lead to weight gain and a lethargic sluggish, metabolism. By controlling what goes into your mouth, you have the power to reduce a huge number of toxins that could otherwise enter the body. Here at Zante Zest we work with you to customize a healthy detox juice/meal plan for you to kick start your metabolic rate, increase your natural energy levels and aid to finding your perfect body shape.
This is termed "cleanse" rather than ‘FAST’ because you get ALL the adequate calories and nutrition required for the body to meet its daily tasks – from at least 4 litres of fresh juice composed of daily green vegetable juices, fruit juices and super green foods spirulina and wheatgrass. Often when people "fast" instead of "cleanse" they take in very small amounts of liquid/calories, the metabolism slows, their energy slumps, and they may feel quite ‘dysfunctional’. Juice cleansing works differently, supporting the body throughout all its functional daily life requirements, while experiencing massive cleansing on a cellular level.
Fresh live juice and smoothie requires hardly any digestion, so all its nutritional goodness gets rapidly into your system while simultaneously giving your digestive system a rest. Your body can then use that saved energy to clean out old matter, especially from the small intestine. The average person holds 2-5lbs of toxic old matter in their intestines, and cleansing is an ideal way to release it, giving the body a phenomenal chance to rejuvenate and restore. Far from being a time of ‘deprivation’, this extraordinary healing programme is an experience of abundance and massive nutritional intake.
The greatest benefit to a detox or cleanse is its ability to start fresh, and transition to a long-term, healthy way of eating. Many of our clients, and people who have followed the 4 day juice cleanse, have told us that their cravings for salty, fatty, or sweet foods disappear. On following 3 days of healthy Greek food they have begun to appreciate the natural flavours of whole, fresh foods, and they’re able to reconnect with normal hunger and fullness cues.
In addition, losing some pounds and inches over the cleanse can create the motivation and confidence to embark on a longer journey. Finally, the beautiful retreat and environment away from daily stresses gives the chance to prevent you from being able to act on any usual emotional, social, environmental, and habitual eating triggers, which can be the first step to breaking unhealthy patterns. All of these benefits can make committing to healthy goals – like cooking healthy food at home more often, eating breakfast each day, and bringing your lunch to work and increased water intake – a whole lot easier.
"4 days cleanse and you feel the journey begin to a healthy, happy you :)"
