Ten Days Of Detox

I have just spent ten days at a world class health retreat in Kin Kin thanks to my very generous dad.

Part of the Living Valley Springs property in Kin Kin, Queensland

Living Valley Springs incorporates natural health lectures, detox routines (steam baths, clay wraps, colonics, lymphatic drainage massage, short juice fasts), exercise opportunities (scenic walks/hikes, gym, stretch classes, personal trainer, mountain climb) and pampering (mmm massages, facials, salt scrub & mud wraps etc).  

Mum, me & a group of 20 other guests and staff climbed Pomona Mountain on day 7

People go in order to sort out chronic illness, to detox from cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, preservatives in food, and to learn what lifestyle and foods our bodies were intended for.

I went because my immune system does not love me.... and I have a couple (ok quite a few) kilos I could lose.  Mainly, I'm sick of getting every cold, flu, throat, chest, and sinus infection around.  

When they said we were having salad for lunch I did not expect this deliciousness...

At the end of the ten days, I was given a lifestyle plan quite different to the lifestyle I've been living.  I'm going to document my progress here, hopefully not only to shed some light on healthy habits we should have, but selfishly so I have some sort of accountability and encouragement through the process, and an opportunity to reinforce what I've learned.  Stay tuned...
