You will stay on track, and everything is done for you, so you can truly relax and enjoy the activities/rest knowing that your body is getting the best balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals it needs to reset itself.
You never have detoxed.
Most of us in our lives have never taken the initiative to step forward and eat clean for a time period, say, 10 days. In this way, we don’t really know whether our normal state is our optimal state or not. Think of it as a tune-up, a super-quick, super-easy way to supercharge your health.
You need a STAYCATION.
Self-nurturing practices: deep breathing, sleeping 7-8 hours a night, a little exercise, self-love, is something which we haven’t practised in a while. Our normal lives involve too little sleep, too much bad food, too little exercise, and too much stress. We need to stop it and practice the above. All this works to get your body and mind back to their original factory settings—and quickly!
