Olive Retreat Wellness Guide: Body Detox Dialogue

If there were any rules on how to live a healthy lifestyle, Rule number one would be Know Your Body, and Rule two would be Trust Your Body. Unless you're suffering from a severe illness, no expert in the world can know better than your own body what it needs to be healthy, or what health is for you. In that sense we advise people to know what healthy means to them, and be it. Your body is the best pharmacy you'll ever have, administering the exact amounts and ratios of all the biochemical substances you'll ever need. It's a miracle of health and life that we can still only understand a small part of, even with all the modern science available to us today. At Olive we believe our bodies are gifts given to us to experience and enjoy temporarily, and that seeing ourselves in this way, with gratitude, helps us to become truly healthy. Only then we can love and care for our bodies while we have them. With a little health knowledge they always know what they need.
