By now, all the holiday cookies have been consumed, leftovers thrown away -- and the bathroom scale is now the scariest sight in your home, a close second to your credit card statement after so much Christmas shopping. With all the sugar taking over your body, it's more difficult than usual to stop overeating and snacking. I'm here to tell you there is hope. Working out is number one to getting back on track, but for those who really, really need a life-altering experience to shed toxins and get in the mindset of health, there's a trip from Boston to British Columbia - to Fresh Start Health Retreat Center - that I'm preparing to take during their January offering. Five days of de-tox from years of accumulating unhealthy habits.
So what is Fresh Start? It's a program designed to throughly detox and cleanse the whole body to rid waste, improve sleep and energy, improve skin health and optimize your body systems and organs, as well as optimize the body's metabolism. Ah, that equals weight loss.
A bit more on Fresh Start is below:
This wellness facility will help to "reset" your taste buds and offer the tools to adopt more healthy eating patterns. You will consume specially-designed drinks for detox and cleansing of the digestive tract, liver, gall bladder, blood and lymphatic systems, and kidneys of heavy metals, Candida and parasies. These drinks, coupled with fresh juices, raw food nd exercise, along with whatever extra spa treatments or colon hydrotherapy necessary -- helps to effectly clean you while there, far away from Boston, with nothing to do but cleanse your body and soul.
I plan to walk away with the knowledge of how to get the highest quality produce, and how to set up a healthy kitchen and prepare healthy meals. Three walks a day! I can't wait! Here is a list of what you get at Fresh Start, and if you can't come up with the cash immediately, they offer a 0 percent financing program for those who qualfy.
