The World's Best Detox Retreats
Give your mind, body and soul a well deserved boost with a luxury detox programme from one of the world's leading leading health and wellness hotels.
Imagine yourself at the end of a long day: perhaps you are feeling tired and decide to eat some fast food, or relax with a glass of wine. We all do it. We're only human after all! But have you ever stopped to think what chemicals are really in that food? How many different chemical compounds is that burger or pizza made from? In fact, one popular global burger chain uses up to 78 different artificial additives in its food range.
Why am I writing this? It's certainly not to deprive you of the joy of the occasional burger. It's to point out that our modern lives and modern diets do contain a large range of non-essential additives. So surely the stresses and effects of this can build up in our systems over time. Add to that, the hectic nature of life today, which can cause the release of stress-related inflammatory chemicals in our bodies. This is where the concept of having a detox comes in. Research shows that our bodies do naturally safely dispose of many 'toxins' which we come across in our day to day lives. However, a detox programme is designed to give this process an extra short term boost in a range of ways, for example; healthy eating, hydration and exercises. They also provide lasting benefits through learning which you can take beyond the retreat.
Nowadays there's a very large array of different detox diets and programmes, which could seem confusing. So if you want to detox, we think that a detox retreat is great way to do it. You will have personalised expert guidance, be in a luxury relaxed environment while taking a break from the stresses and strains of everyday life.
Here at Health Travel we aim to provide our clients with the ultimate luxury wellness travel experience. So in this blog we have curated a selection of the World's best detox holidays.
