FASTING & HIKING
FASTING AND HIKING IN THE BAVARIAN RHÖN
Hiking on quiet paths in the heart of Germany, the beautiful Rhön - here you can find peace, free your mind and recharge your batteries in contact with nature. Our guided fasting hikes are an ideal complement to the fasting period: they gently train your cardiovascular system and activate your metabolism. But that's not all - fasting hikes, i.e. the combination of therapeutic fasting and hiking, offer you a multitude of additional benefits for body, mind and soul.
How does Fasting & Hiking help ?
Therapeutic fasting is a tried and tested method for detoxifying and cleansing the body.
By abstaining from solid food, the metabolism is stimulated and the body can rid itself of waste products and toxins. By walking during the fasting cure, you intensify these processes. The physical exercise supports the elimination of toxins through the skin and also stimulates the circulation. This effectively accelerates the cleansing process and makes you feel lighter and more energised.
Fasting and hiking in the picturesque surroundings of the Rhön also has a positive effect on your mental health.
Contact with nature and being at one with the landscape have a calming effect on the mind. You can leave the stress of everyday life behind you and concentrate on the here and now. Exercising in nature has a positive effect on the production of endorphins, which leads to an increased sense of well-being and an improved mood. During the fasting cure, you can find inner peace and serenity.
In addition, fasting hiking offers the opportunity to develop new habits and lead a more conscious life.
During fasting, you become aware of your eating habits and have the opportunity to rethink them. In combination with hiking, you can become more aware of your body and your needs. You learn to listen to your body and treat it with care. You can also integrate these experiences into your everyday life after the fasting hike and achieve a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
Who is Fasting & Hiking suitable for?
Fasting hikes in our fasting clinic are particularly suitable for otherwise healthy people with risk factors such as stress and lack of exercise.
We therefore recommend fasting hikes in relation to:
-
Stress reduction: Fasting and Hiking offers the opportunity to escape the stress of everyday life and find peace and quiet in nature. The combination of fasting and physical exercise can help to reduce stress, improve your mood and increase your general well-being.
-
Improving physical fitness: Lack of exercise is a risk factor for many health problems. By walking while fasting, you become physically active and can improve your stamina, muscles and flexibility. This can contribute to better long-term health and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other illnesses.
-
Weight management: Fasting walking can help to reduce excess body fat and regulate body weight. If lack of exercise has led to weight gain, fasting walking can be an effective way to boost metabolism and aid weight loss.
-
Promoting detoxification: Many people in Germany suffer from stress and a lack of exercise. This can lead to a build-up of harmful substances in the body. Fasting and Hiking allows the body to detoxify and eliminate toxins, which can lead to improved health and vitality.
