For best results, before joining our detox program follow the Pre-Detox Program be sent after you confirm your booking for two weeks. This will both alkalize and prepare your body for a deeper cleansing. If you do not have enough time, you should start a minimum of 3 days before the detox program. For optimum results in the pre-cleansing phase, eat no meat, dairy products, salt, sugar or foods with added sugar. Stop the intake of coffee, tea, alcohol and all other drinks with caffeine. You can drink all sorts of herbal teas instead. Drink water as often as possible, but not with a meal. Water is a critical addition to the cleansing process. It is best to drink at least 6% of your body weight (I.e. 70 kg body weight, drink 4.2 liters of water).

Pre-cleansing prepares your body for the deep cleansing you will experience on the full fasting program. On a pre-fast, your body will move from an acidic state towards the alkalinity needed for cleansing. You’ll also increase your storage of electrolytes, giving your body the strength needed for cleansing. Fasting without properly preparing your body can result in rapid toxin elimination which, rarely can result in some discomfort including headaches, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness.

The pre-detox is significant in terms of easing the transition to a detox program. If you start your detox without do- ing the pre-detox beforehand, you might feel the “detox symptoms” stronger. These symptoms are also called as the “healing symptoms” which are general reactions that the body can experience in the first couple of days of the detox such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, having strange dreams etc. If you arrive to the center without doing the pre-detox, we can apply the green detox programs to help you to do your pre-detox at ZOYA.

There is nothing specific you need to bring, just comfortable clothing for yoga, meditation and exercise classes etc. Some sports shoes (trainers) for walking, sun cream, swimming suite and a good book for when your chilling out by the pool.

Sportswear and swimsuit would be sufficient to wear during your program. (For the daily walks, yoga classes, use of the fitness room, daily pool/sea/infrared sauna/steam room usages etc.) 

In this modern life we are exposed to polluted air, stress and passive life, consuming processed foods, additives and many other factors cause accumulation of toxins in our bodies.
