Fasting cures are becoming increasingly popular with many people and there are many different reasons for this. On the one hand, a conscious diet based on healthy foods is becoming increasingly important for many people in times of fast food and highly processed foods. In addition, more and more scientific studies are proving that the temporary deprivation of food has a positive effect on the metabolism. According to these studies, fasting cures are said to have the following positive effects on the body and health:

• Lowers blood lipids, blood sugar and blood pressure
• Reduces inflammation (rheumatism, arthrosis or intestinal diseases)
• Cellular cleansing and regeneration of stem cells is boosted and ensures body rejuvenation

Nevertheless, many people do not have the confidence to fast on their own. Partly for fear of negative influences on the body (not eating anything too quickly, eating again too quickly or not eating for too long, etc.). For this reason, fasting guides are increasingly sought-after contact persons for professional support during the fasting period - whether in a group or 1:1. In therapeutic fasting, the focus is not only on fasting itself, but also on a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating habits and appropriate exercise. Fasting leaders are committed to ensuring that their clients have an all-round positive fasting experience, are available to answer questions, ensure the well-being of participants and provide motivation in difficult moments.

There are very different approaches to therapeutic fasting. In most cases, the approaches are based on humoral medicine, the theory of types and the theory of constitution. Most fasting is done with alkaline broths, tea, soups, juices, water and vegetables. Participants in therapeutic fasting training learn about theories and methods with different nutritional directions and also familiarize themselves with intensive dietetic methods, the metabolic phases of fasting and all other topics relating to fasting.
