Restoring strength and health the natural way

In the spring many people may feel slightly unwell and tired even if they are healthy. You are not as full of strength as usual, your favorite food doesn’t make you happy and you are totally bored at work. Why does this happen all of a sudden? There may be several reasons. It could be the beginning of an illness, stress, or the body warns you that there are too many slags and toxins in it. The cause of this could be unhealthy nutrition, physical inactivity and unhealthy lifestyle or environmental conditions.

A team of professionals from “Jaunkemeri” has developed a new program called “Magic Juice” which promotes healthy lifestyle. The 3 to 5 day long course includes taking up to 10 different combinations of fruit and vegetable juices, as well as a certain vegetable diet.

Cleansing the body with the help of juices is one of the most popular methods in the world. Because of the fact that for a certain period of time one drinks only fresh juices, the health and strength recover in a natural way. The healing powers of juices contribute to the rejuvenation of the whole body. Juices raise enzyme activity and thereby improve the metabolic processes, which leads to weight loss. Juices can help to increase immunity, to strengthen blood vessels and improve blood circulation.
For maximum effect, in addition to juice therapy, experts from the rehabilitation center include a series of medical procedures and activities in the program.

- The assessment of the participant’s health on the first and last day of the course, which includes health monitoring by a doctor and a consultation with a physiotherapist. You can ask the doctor about additional health strengthening procedures, such as mineral water baths, mud applications, hippotherapy. For those who haven’t had a medical examination for a long time, it is recommended to pass some necessary check-ups that are available in the rehabilitation center.
The physiotherapist measures weight, girth of hips, waist and arms. He also defines the body mass index, the percentage of adipose tissue, as well as tolerance to loads.
- Participants of the program, as mentioned previously, are offered healthy nutrition: fresh fruit and vegetable juices and cocktails, as well as a tasty and healthy low-fat diet. Each menu item, whether it is juice, cocktails, or vegetable dishes, is very important for strengthening health. For more effective cleansing, the program nutrition specialist encourages to drink a lot of fruit and herbal teas, plain water and mineral water “Jaunkemeri” during the course.
- There are physiotherapeutic and sports classes included in the program, such as: water aerobics, pilates, fitness and Nordic Walking along the coast of the Baltic Sea and in the pine forest. It is important to know that there is no sense in a healthy diet without physical activities. The lymph is the main cleaner of our body. Deeply located lymph vessels are activated only during active muscle contractions, such as physical loads in the gym, swimming, cycling or walking. We are strengthening the heart by training our muscles every day.
- Therapeutic and relaxing procedures such as classic and aroma massage, underwater massage, lymphatic drainage, salt treatment and a bath complex contribute to the harmony of body and soul, stimulate the metabolism and help to restore energy.
