Just about everyone benefits from fasting. Even those who live a relatively healthy lifestyle. In this day and age, with our fast-paced society, stressful lives, depleted soils, toxins and pollution practically every where we turn (in our food, the water we drink, the air we breath, our furniture, our toiletries, etc.), poor eating habits and decreased atmospheric oxygen; it's no wonder that there is a build-up of toxic waste in our bodies!

Fasting is not an extreme therapy. Anyone can do it. However, proper supervision is important to make sure that the body is supported, and that detoxification and healing are maximised without causing too much discomfort. The fasting and detox programme offered by MyAfya is designed to support all types of people.

Note though, that if you are diabetic (Type I or Type II), or suffer from severe hypoglycaemia, it is not recommended that you undertake a complete juice fast. Anyone with major chronic illness should consult their naturopath or doctor before attending.
