In the course of time, many different fasting methods have developed: therapeutic fasting according to Buchinger, alkaline fasting, soup or juice fasting and many more. As different as these may be, there is one thing in common in the goal of detox - to purify and detoxify the body. Therefore, fasting is often referred to as therapeutic fasting. As a result, there is no difference between fasting and therapeutic fasting per se, as they are mostly one and the same thing. However, a fast should not be confused with a diet, as the latter usually aims to lose as much weight as possible in a relatively short period of time. Compared to dieting alone, a fasting holiday has the great advantage that it is usually done under expert supervision. So you get very clear instructions that are good for body, mind and soul. Another nice aspect of therapeutic fasting is that people who enjoy excellent health can also benefit from it. A professionally conducted detox cure in the fasting hotel can also help to strengthen the immune system.
