Summer is over, and with it our vacation adventures and culinary escapades have come to an end. No matter whether we enjoyed the sun's rays on Ibiza, relaxed by the the Baltic Sea, partying on Mykonos, relaxing on Mallorca, or exploring the culinary wonders of Italy, one thing is certain:
Summer has provided us with plenty of culinary delights and perhaps the occasional glass of wine or Aperol. But now that fall is just around the corner, it is time to give our body a well-deserved break and to reset it in a gentle way.

What is juice fasting?
Juice fasting is a proven method of detoxifying the body and replenishing energy. This type of fasting involves replacing solid foods with freshly squeezed juices for a limited period of time, often 3-7 days. These juices
usually consist of a variety of fruits and vegetables that are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Juice fasting allows the digestive system to regenerate as it is less stressed, and aids in the elimination of toxins from the body.
Why fasting? What are the benefits?
Fasting has a long history and is practiced for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the benefits of juice fasting:
- Detoxification: Juice fasting removes toxins and waste products from the body, resulting in a better overall well-being.
- Weight loss: Juice fasting can help lose excess pounds and regulate body weight.
- Increase energy: many people report feeling more energetic and vital after a juice fast.
- Improving skin: juice fasting can lead to more radiant skin and a clearer complexion.
- Strengthening the immune system: The intake of vitamins and minerals strengthens the immune system.
