To get going in the morning, you start with aqua gymnastics at the spa center. This strengthens many muscle groups and the cardiovascular system. Background knowledge on the subject of alkaline fasting is provided by the in-house nutrition experts. At group fasting meetings, people exchange ideas, talk about their own experiences, encourage each other and motivate each other to persevere with the same goal. The daily changing active and wellness therapies, which take place in the morning and afternoon, are completely tailored to the fasting vacation: Light equipment training or treading water ensure sufficient exercise and stimulation of the metabolism, which contributes to positive intestinal health. The guests' favorite activity is Nordic walking in the adjacent Müritz National Park, through the spa gardens or along the Müritz. Relaxing wellness therapies, such as detoxifying liver wraps in the form of hay flower packs, a massage bubble bath or an alkaline bath, in which the body is freed from stored acids in the skin. And if your stomach starts to pinch and you feel a little grumpy, a cup of herbal tea or a hot water bottle, which is available to every guest in their room, will soothe you.
The most important aspect of fasting is the diet. The professionals from the kitchen team conjure up alkaline dishes for every meal that are rich in fiber and secondary plant substances and keep you full for a long time. To achieve this, the portions do not have to be huge, and the eye also likes to eat them nicely presented. For breakfast, for example, porridge with fresh fruit or millet porridge with cinnamon plums are served. At lunchtime and in the evening, the menu includes spicy soups and vegetable stir-fries or muesli polenta wedges with avocado cream and spelt pasta with Provençal crème fraîche. At home, guests receive a collection of recipes from the spa center with a selection of delicious and healthy alkaline dishes to cook at home.
