Picture of Food guide - Mediterranean Diet

Food guide - Mediterranean Diet

Healthy Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean diet has a remarkable effect on the physical and mental well-being of every individual. It is rich in olive oil, nuts, fish, Mediterranean herbs, fruits and vegetables. This means that monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids are a predominant feature of this diet.  As reported by The New York Times (Kolata, 2013) and TIME Magazine (Sifferlin, 2013), research by several scientists and researchers have revealed that Mediterranean food improves general well-being and digestion, lowers  blood cholesterol and at the same time improves the functioning of mental abilities and the brain, especially during ageing. Furthermore, it has been proven that Mediterranean food is better than a low calorie diet. Over 30 % of heart attacks, strokes and also deaths due to heart disease can be prevented with the Mediterranean diet.  There is also proof that the Mediterranean nutrition is helpful in lowering the possibility of a stroke, as well as in treating children’s asthma and cancer.

Mediterranean Diet at the LifeClass Hotels

At the LifeClass Hotels we create menus with an emphasis on Mediterranean food and locally grown products. Therefore, we guarantee the constant freshness and high quality of each meal as well as taking care of the health and well-being of each guest. Our offer includes numerous fresh and healthy possibilities, diet menus, detox menus, etc. Our master chefs eagerly prepare exquisite culinary masterpieces and Mediterranean, Istrian and Slovenian specialities, such as Istrian “fuži” - Istrian pasta with truffles, Istrian “bobiči” - bean and corn minestrone, marinated sardines, blue mussels buzara style, etc. All dishes are selected and prepared according to traditional recipes. In combination with recreation in the Mediterranean environment with negative ions - rich sea air - whether it is yoga on the Sunny Terrace or dance workshops on the beach or cycling around the salt pans -, we positively contribute to an improved well-being of every visitor.

Food guide - Ayurvedic Diet for Body Detoxification

Due to the increasing accumulation of toxic substances in the body, obtained by an improper lifestyle and inadequate nutrition, cells become more and more poisoned and vital body functions decrease. With a carefully planned diet that is based on Ayurvedic principles, pranayama yoga and Ayurvedic treatments selected according to a dosha type, we effectively cleanse your body and skin, fill the body with new energy, and take care of inner balance and well-being. In Ayurvedic detox programmes, nutrition is of prime importance.

The Ayurvedic diet does not allow the consumption of meat, fish, dairy products and eggs. Therefore, the food must not be of animal origin. This type of food is similar to the food that is classified as healthy food in the West, and is based on organic production. This kind of a diet does not create mucus in the body and is mostly composed of raw, fresh vegetables and fruit. With the combination of regular consultations with our Ayurvedic specialist at the Shakti – Ayurveda Centre, regular meditation, yoga, sports activities and wellness treatments, our guests are provided with active detoxification and perfect well-being.

Food guide - Dishes for the Power of Thought

Based on the Ayurvedic and Mediterranean diets, and their beneficial effects on physical and mental abilities, we have drawn up the Brain Power Booster Programme for the needs of our business guests and event organisers. This unique programme optimises the individual’s abilities and thus increases ROI of event organisation. We assure you that our special diet and services performed by our Ayurvedic professionals will make you feel invigorated and focused throughout an event. Our Brain Power Booster Programme meals are based on complex carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids and antioxidants.  Complex carbohydrates are broken down more slowly in the liver, absorb glucose into the blood and thus into the brain. Accordingly, they are called "brain fuel".  Fatty acids, particularly omega-6 and omega-3, have a positive effect on memory whereas amino acids have a strong effect on nerve connections in the brain, thus affecting the ability to concentrate and think. Antioxidants inhibit free radicals which are produced as a consequence of stress, a poor diet and ageing. In order to keep your brain energy and concentration at a desired level, we organise morning meditation, breathing exercises, Brain Power Booster breaks, lunch and massages that improve your well-being, thereby improving your abilities.

Activities

Picture of Cycling

Cycling

Cycling is not only recreation, but also a first-class experience. Niko, a LifeClass Hotels entertainer, will take you on the best bike trips. There, a look at olive groves and salt pans will take away all your worries, while the antioxidant-rich sea air will be filling your lungs. You will head for Fiesa, a natural park with two little lakes, riding through a tunnel to the Strunjan or Sečovlje salt pans and elsewhere. The Portorož’s surroundings are a true treasure chest.  

Guided cycling is free for all our hotel guests.

You may rent bikes against surcharge at hotel reception and set out on a trip yourself, discovering the treasures of Slovenian Istria.  The Slovenian coast offers numerous very interesting bike trips along the coast as well as in the hinterland.  The mild climate makes cycling possible throughout the year. The lengths of ascents are appropriate for cyclists who are in good and not so good shape. Well worth considering is a tour to Petrinjski Karst dominated by the Slavnik hill range and further on by the Kojnik. Furthermore, amazing cycling trips are also the ones in Croatian Istria where the lanes are almost empty, and the scenery idyllic. The terrain in this area is the most suitable for mountain bikes.

Picture of Walking and Nordic Walking

Walking and Nordic Walking

Our LifeClass Hotels are an outstanding starting-point for a large variety of walks. A LifeClass Hotels entertainer, will take you every sunny morning for a marvellous guided walk or Nordic walking in the immediate vicinity of the amazing Slovenian Istria. Along the shoreline, she will take you to the magnificent medieval city of Piran, to the magical Sečovlje Salt Pans or to Forma Viva, an outdoor gallery with a breathtaking view of the Bay of Portorož.  

Guided walks and Nordic walking are free for all hotel guests.

You may also rent Nordic walking poles, and explore Slovenian Istria on your own.   You will be thrilled with Istria’s amazing natural and cultural heritage along the attractive footpaths.  There is also something for those of you who have a bit of Robison Crusoe-like spirit. A breath-taking view stretches all the way from Croatian Istria across the Northern Italian coast to the Slovenian Alps and then descending to the Karst edge. The Municipality of Piran “abounds” in footpaths, so you may choose a new strolling adventure each time you go for a walk, and thus experience something refreshing and relaxing. 

Did you know?  At the seaside, you daily breath in around 10 billion particles that have a beneficial effect on the airways, bronchi and lungs. Therefore, your walk along the coast will be both relaxing and healing. Check some of the most exciting possibilities of walks around Piran and Portorož.

Picture of Trips

Trips

Portorož and Piran are outstanding destinations, and superb starting-points for a diversity of trips.  The Piran countryside offers you authentic experience and a feeling that the time has stopped here. The hills of Slovenian Istria are dotted with old stone houses.  Majestic views stretch from the Adriatic Sea all the way to the Alps above it. Furthermore, there are olive groves and vineyards on the steep slopes of the hills, whereas orchards and vegetable fields dominate in the valleys.  Take a ride along the Istrian wine trail.   Discover the heritage of Istrian farmers and indulge in exquisite Istrian cuisine.

While strolling around the narrow village streets, you should visit “torklja”, an olive press.  If you are there in the autumn – when olives ripen – you could taste freshly pressed olive oil.  Alternatively, you may opt for a sea adventure and set off for a sea trip to Venice or treat yourself to first-class shopping in the nearby city of Trieste and in other Italian cities.

Healthy and Amusing Meals for the Youngest

We know the magic that will make your kids come to the table. At the LifeClass, healthy dishes become amusing, too.

When the child turns 1 and becomes more independent, he/she starts eating with other family members and tastes new food. At that time it is recommended to introduce him/her a myriad of flavours. A diet – which is balanced in terms of energy and nutrition and tailored to the needs of children in the phases of growth and development – is one of the most important positive factors of maintaining health. Enriching a daily diet with fruits and vegetables is crucial for good health.  They contain numerous substances that are vital for a normal growth and development, and at the same time protect against infectious diseases and a variety of chronic non-contagious diseases in the adult age. Therefore, it is very important to introduce fruits and vegetables to the child early enough in his/her life – naturally in an interesting  way.

For the youngest, our master chefs eagerly prepare small and funny, but above all healthy and local culinary masterpieces:  colourful and healthy fruit skewers, wholemeal pancakes with home-made marmalade and chocolate, wholemeal muffins, and home-made cookies with antioxidants. Sea shapes will fascinate and amuse every child as well as providing him/her with a fresh and healthy Mediterranean meal. At the family-friendly Hotel Mirna, your youngest may visit the children’s culinary corner where our master chefs will be spoiling them with truly special and diverse children's menus.

Picture of At the Hotel ( Water Recreation )

At the Hotel ( Water Recreation )

Hotel guests have unlimited free entry to the swimming-pool complexes with sea water and the swimming pools with the thermal Prehistoric Sea (the 42,000-year-old sea). Every day, in the morning or afternoon, you may also join the guided water recreation: exercise under the guidance of a physiotherapist or water aerobics. Jump into the sea and have a good stretch!

Swimming in the swimming pools with the thermal Prehistoric Sea water has beneficial preventive and curative effects on the skin, respiratory organs and well-being of everyone. You will be filled with energy of the 42,000-years-old Prehistoric Sea. Swimming in sea water stimulates the functioning of the organs (the liver, kidney, skin) that excrete harmful substances from the body. These substances travel to the skin surface through the lymphatic system, and salt accelerates their excretion. Sea salt is rich in a myriad of substances. It contains at least 80 different minerals: carbonates, sulphates, calcium, potassium, bromine, sodium, manganese, magnesium, iodine, iron, fluorine and silicic acid. Therefore, salt has beneficial effects on the skin and helps with various skin conditions.

Entry to the swimming-pool complexes and participation in guided water recreation is free for all hotel guests.

In addition, during our treatments we use natural ingredients extracted from herbs, flowers, fruit and minerals, prepared according to original oriental formulae, as well as top-class natural cosmetics and equipment by eminent world producers.

Traditional Thai massage

Traditional Thai massage (Nuad Bo Rarn) came into being as a result of a strong desire to give physical happiness and satisfaction to a beloved one. It is based on the concept of the ten most important energy channels (Sib Sen), which flow throughout the body. Lying adjacent to these energy channels are acupressure points which are of exceptional importance in the regulation of life energy. By massaging these points, one can relax, improve blood circulation, reduce stress, alleviate pain, sharpen the senses, strengthen the functioning of the internal organs, preserve vitality as well as create a balance between the energy of the body, mind and spirit.

Thai massage combines knowledge of Indian yoga, Chinese acupressure, chiropractics as well as Japanese shiatsu massage. Traditional Thai massages and natural body care, which are performed by expert Thai practitioners, are aimed at providing complete relaxation of both body and mind. The beneficent touch of the hands calms and relaxes the body and caresses the soul. The positive effects of massage are additionally complemented by a fine selection of essential oils and extracts from Thai herbs, fruit and blossoms.

Wai Thai Massage

A combination of traditional Thai massage and massage with oil and massage balls. This massage relaxes the body, increases its flexibility, improves well-being, and contributes to a sound mind in a sound body. It comprises massage of the whole body, including a head and facial massage

Essential oils

At the Wai Thai centre we employ six different types of massage oils. They are all made of entirely natural cold-pressed plant oils, such as jojoba, almonds, coconuts, apricot kernel oil as well as a mixture of essential oils. Each particular essential oil is composed of a particular combination of specific essential oils with specific properties. The oils are easily absorbed and non-allergenic.

In our temple of well-being we employ the following massage oils: Tranquillity oil, Thailand spice oil, Lemon grass oil, Spirit oil, Love oil and Relaxing oil. Based on its scent, you can also choose the massage oil that is to your liking and best suits you. These oils are excellent for everyday body care as well.

In addition, its direct effect on the skin and hypodermis makes it useful for anti-aging programmes.

The thermal mineral water may be also used individually for the purpose of an isolated therapy, however, its effectiveness boosts in the combination with other local natural substances (especially salt pan mud - fango) and the use in physiotherapies, massages and saunas.

Pains in the lower back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip etc. are the most common symptoms of numerous orthopaedic diseases. The goal of physiotherapy is to reduce pain and to restore the normal or still acceptable function of the locomotor system.

Bioptron therapy – biostimulation light therapy (one location), 10 min

The Bobath therapy is an excellent way to treat neurological patients and various neurological conditions. This therapy follows the latest neurophysiological and biomechanical theories. It is based on a positive approach to the patient, a transfer of the therapy to the daily life, using the patient's abilities to restore or strengthen weaker parts of the body after injuries or disease conditions that affect the functioning of the neuromuscular system.

The basis of the Bobath concept is the assessment and targeted treatment of individuals with disturbances in the functioning of movement and muscle tone as the consequence of a neurological defect in the central nervous system.

Forms of electrotherapy include electrotherapy with direct electric current (galvanic currenst) and electrotherapy with alternating electric current, like therapies with low frequency current (TENS, diadynamic currents, etc.), with medium frequency current (interferential currents) and therapies with high frequency currents.

Group therapeutic exercises

They are carried out in our swimming-pools with thermomineral water and in the gym under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The exercises in the water are suitable for all chronic ailments, in particular ailments of the locomotor system, for maintaining overall condition and as a measure of prevention. They are, most of all, the right choice for people who have difficulty in performing exercises when out of the water. The exercises in the gym however aim at strengthening the general condition of the locomotor system and alleviating problems in the neck and lumbar area of the spine.

HILT therapy – high intensity laser therapy (one location)

Horizontal traction (cervical, lumbar)

Individual therapeutic exercises with a physiotherapist

Invidiual therapeutical excercise

Therapeutic exercise plays a primary role in physical medicine. Movement is carried out passively, actively or against resistance to improve limited mobility of the joints and strengthen the muscles. At the same time the patient learns how to perform appropriate exercises, which he can later include in his daily routine. The treatment gives each patient the advantage of having a physiotherapist present during the therapeutic exercises enabling thus better assistance and supervision of the exercise performance as well as increased patient motivation.

Kinesio Taping pain-alleviating therapy – tape application (one location)

The therapy with Kinesio Tapes is a fast and effective modality for treating painful conditions of musculoskeletal system. This progressive technique of applying special elastic tapes promotes the body’s own natural healing process as it enables normal functioning of muscles, reducing at the same time swellings and pain. Kinesio Tapes are applied in specific ways to increase the range of movement and promote the muscular function, improve blood and lymph circulation, alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, help stabilize the joints and thus assist rehabilitation.

Laser therapy – pain-alleviating therapy (one location)

The therapy involves a focused light of specific frequencies. It improves the tension of the blood veins, the blood circulation in the affected area and consequently, also cellular metabolism and renewal. It promotes the healing of wounds and reduces pain, cramps and localised inflammations. It also acts against bacteria and viruses. Laser therapy is effectively used to treat skin problems (wounds and lesions on the shin, changes in the skin due to herpes or herpes zoster, scars following an operation or an injury) and some diseases of the locomotor system, such as acute conditions (myalgia, sports injuries, conditions after operations, dislocations and blows) and chronic conditions (pains along the spine, degenerative arthritis of larger joints, degenerative arthritis of smaller joints in the arms and legs).

Magnetic Therapy (one location)

The treatment is focused on the cell. It works by directing the magnetic field onto a part of the body, thus improving the blood circulation and consequently increasing the amount of oxygen in the tissue, while also reducing localised inflammation as well as alleviating pain. The therapy has proved exceptionally efficient in alleviating pain so much after fresh injuries as in chronic degenerative conditions of the spine and in large and small joints, in treating wounds, healing of broken bones and soft tissues, as well as in the regeneration process of damaged nerves.

QRS Waver – Quantum magnetic therapy, 20 min

Shockwave therapy – therapy with shock waves (one location)

Traction/Gamma Swing Therapy – Spine-Stretching with an Oscillating Movement

Gamma Swing Therapy – we use the Gamma Swing device to gradually lift the body in three different positions (with a raised pelvis, a raised lumbar area and normal hanging position) and we gently swing it, which stretches the muscles and ligaments, mildly separates the joint areas in small vertebral joints and reduces pressure in the area of the intervertebral disc.

The Gamma Swing therapy is primarily used for degenerative diseases of the spine and for lower back pain; the therapy also significantly alleviates the symptoms of mild osteoarthritis. It has a beneficial effect on the tension in the area of back muscles, on blockages on the small vertebral joints and on changes of intervertebral discs.

Trigger therapy, 20 min

A physiotherapeutic manual treatment ofindividual painful points in muscles which reduceshyperirritability and tension in muscletissue and relieves pain.Trigger points (i.e., muscle knots) are themost frequent phenomenon in fibromyalgiasyndrome, which most often affects middleagedwomen and frequently results fromlong-lasting forced posture, lack of physicalactivity, stress, etc.

Picture of The 42,000-Year-Old Prehistoric Sea

The 42,000-Year-Old Prehistoric Sea

One day, 42,000 years ago, mammoths were grazing in the meadow by the sea, and reindeer were timidly observing them from the wood, constantly watching out for cave lions and leopards. The air was tense, and the animals grew restless. And then, the ground shook. Hairy rhinos were the first to start running away.  The first shock was followed by another one, even more violent. Then deep cracks started to appear in the ground, and the sea began flowing into them. Nature, just like hundreds of times before, exhibited her tremendous force, and took to her bosom a moment of the old days.

After having been caught in the deep layers of the Earth for thousands of years, this very sea came into the world again in thermal pools in the middle of Portorož. The underground sea is pumped from a 705-metre deep well.  

In terms of chemical composition, the Prehistoric Sea only partly resembles the present-day sea. The Prehistoric Sea’s high mineral content (chlorides, sulphates, sodium, potassium, magnesium) ranks it among very hard, low alkaline, highly mineralised and medicinal sulphide thermal-mineral waters.  Its source temperature is 23°C.

This sea is a source of primeval energy, having a beneficial effect on health and well-being of everyone.

At the LifeClass Portorož, we help you live better and longer. The several centuries old tradition of alternative medicine in Portorož has always been based on a holistic approach to treating an individual.

Anti-Aging Diagnostics

Health is maintained with the help of regular medical examinations starting at the age of 35. Through this examinations, we detect early manifestations of potential pathological conditions. Therefore, we recommend you to choose a regular medical examination when visiting our Terme Portorož.

Recharge Your Batteries with the QRS Quantum Magnetic Therapy

Drift into a restorative sleep and recharge your batteries in a mere 20 minutes. This therapy gives you mental relaxation and revitalises your body.

Balance of Hormones is the Key to a Effective Stop of the Ageing Process

When determining the ageing process, hormones and their balance in the body are of the utmost importance. Hormones are responsible for communication in the body; they are the messengers that convey commands for the optimal functioning of the body to the cells (better curing, better tissue regeneration, improved blood circulation and skin hydration, burning fat or cellulite, hair growth, etc.). Our centre devotes a great deal of attention to the diagnosis of the hormonal balance in the body.

“The ageing process is like a married couple – when they are young, they communicate well, but over time, living in close quarters for many years, communication breaks down,” said Harvard Medical School Professor David Sinclair. “And just like a couple, restoring communication also solves the problem here.”

Mediterranean Protective Diet

Research by several scientists and researchers has shown that Mediterranean food improves general well-being and digestion, lowers blood cholesterol, and at the same time improves the functioning of your mental abilities and brain, especially during ageing.

Cell Metabolism Test

A non-invasive test of cell metabolism provides a quick insight into the condition of your body, especially of acidosis that is one of major causes of various diseases. Therefore, we recommend you to have your cell metabolism analysed as soon as possible with CRS analysis.

5 Natural Medicinal Factors

Treasures of the sea and Piran Salt Pans, thermal-mineral water from the Prehistoric Sea and the beneficial Mediterranean climate are a unique combination of natural medicinal gifts in one place

Picture of Ayurveda is a ''knowledge of life''

Ayurveda is a ''knowledge of life''

Ayurveda is a ''knowledge of life'' that approaches life as a harmonic combination of the body, senses, spirit and the intellect.

It is an ancient Hindu method of medical treatment. Nowadays Ayurveda is an integral part of the Indian national medical network, a subject of scientific research, and a field of study at many higher education institutions and universities around the world.

Ayurveda presents the collection of principles for maintaining health of healthy people, and at the same time, it offers many therapeutic methods of medical treatment. It gives special significance to prevention. Thus, it has gradually developed a total analytical system, which enables detecting changes in health much sooner, before the symptoms of disease arise. Thereby it enables the selection of the most suitable preventive therapeutic procedures.

It is a holistic approach looking for the balance of the three basic life principles called doshas: Kapha, Vata and Pitta in every individual. Their balance means health and a full life. 

 At the Shakti - Ayurveda Centre, we offer a variety of Ayurvedic treatments that are based on traditional knowledge. We perform them with the approach and quality standards appropriate for European guests

Authenticity and highest quality of the performance of therapies is guaranteed by the doctor of Ayurvedic medicine Ms Kavitha Gopalan Shyamala.

Treatments are performed by certified therapists from India and professional Ayurvedic therapists that gained their knowledge from Indian experts on Ayurveda with years of experience.

Picture of Detoxification and Cleansing of the Body

Detoxification and Cleansing of the Body

Due to the growing intake of toxic substances into the body by means of an incorrect diet and lifestyle, cells become more and more poisoned and vital body functions decrease. The reason for malaise and reduction of physical energy lies in the poisoning of the body. Consequently, a poisoned body leads to disease and imbalance in the body. Problems with metabolism, hormonal imbalance, back pain, etc. appear. In order to feel better, a person must first detoxify their body and then start an appropriate treatment for the disease.

At the Shakti – Ayurveda Centre we will help you to eliminate numerous health problems and malaise with the help of our Ayurvedic specialist, a proper diet, regular meditation, yoga, sports activities, wellness treatments, and other Ayurvedic detox programmes.

For whom is the DETOX programme intended?

The programme represents a preventive measure. It is mainly intended for people without any severe symptoms. Such people suffer from fatigue, poor sleeping, irritability, rapid tiredness and higher susceptibility to health problems. By psychophysically disburdening of the body, occurrence and development of problems are being prevented.

It is highly recommended for people facing a lot of stress on a daily basis and people with inadequate and irregular nutrition. The programme is also suitable for people with mild problems of respiratory (repeating colds, anginas, allergies, etc.), locomotory (problems in cervical and lumbar spine, etc.), digestive (gastritis, reflux, etc.), cardiocirculatory system (smaller problems with blood pressure, periodical disturbances in rhythm, etc.) and problematic skin (psoriasis, dermatitis, etc.).

The detoxifying week is highly recommended as a so-called introduction (disburdening of the body) to therapeutic programmes available for severe problems with weight, locomotory system, respiratory system, etc.

The programme is not recommended for severe and newly occurring heart problems, high blood pressure, renal diseases, haemorrhages, malignancies.

Lepa Veljanovič, MD, Spec. in Physiatry, Acupuncturologist

Ayurvedic princples for Health, Well-Being and New Energy

For Health, Well-Being and New Energy. With a carefully planned diet that is based on Ayurvedic principles, pranayama yoga and Ayurvedic treatments chosen according to the dosha type, we effectively detoxify and cleanse the body and skin, fill the body with new energy and take care of the inner balance and well-being. In detox Ayurvedic programmes, nutrition is very important.

The Ayurvedic diet does not allow the consumption of:

  • Meat
  • Fish
  • Dairy products
  • Eggs

It is a healthy diet based on organically grown food. This kind of a diet does not create mucus in the body and is mostly composed of:

  • Raw and fresh vegetables
  • Fruits

In detox Ayurvedic programmes, nutrition is very important.

  • Fish
  • Dairy products
  • Eggs

It is a healthy diet based on organically grown food. This kind of a diet does not create mucus in the body and is mostly composed of:

  • Raw and fresh vegetables
  • Fruits

With the combination of regular consultations with an Ayurvedic specialist at the Shakti – Ayurveda Centre, regular meditation, yoga, sports activities and wellness treatments, our guests have a guarantee of an active detoxification while feeling well at the same time.

We do not advise this type of a diet to those suffering from an inner sensation of cold, a lack of energy or a lack of vitality due to a variety of reasons. If our Ayurvedic doctor finds out that the Ayurvedic detox diet is not suitable for a certain individual, she prescribes a different diet that is suitable for that particular dosha type or based on the individual's medical condition. Possible symptoms of excessive use of this diet are insomnia, accelerated heartbeat, a lack of energy, vertigo, skipping periods and loss of appetite. Therefore, even if the diet is very beneficial, it should not be used as a kind of universal medicine, but only under strict medical supervision. The latter is especially important in the first stage (during the first two weeks). 

What Does a Day of the Ayurvedic Diet Look Like?

For breakfast, we treat ourselves to a piece of whole grain wet bread with slices of fresh avocado and freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice made of apples, grapefruit, watermelon and spinach. 

We start lunch with rice soup and continue with an exceptional carrot dish called "Carrot thoran" which is made of carrots, fresh cabbage, mustard seeds, coconut oil, coconut flour and turmeric. Moreover, liquid – fasting tea – is of crucial importance here.

Dinner consists of a vegetable plate composed of pepper, aubergines, carrots, peas, ghee, cumin, coriander and anise. The vegetable plate goes well with a freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice made of apple, grapefruit, watermelon and spinach.

Advice on a balanced diet , Warning

The diet has to be carried out carefully. Vata people should not insist on this diet for more than two weeks. The Pitta constitution can endure it for about a month, while the Kapha people can stay on this diet for longer periods of time.

Fruit

In the process of body detoxification the quantity of fruit needs to be limited. Fruit and fruit juices that are very sweet should be avoided, especially bananas, pears, pineapples, strawberries and grapes. On the other hand, sour fruit juices, such as lemon, red and black currant and grapefruit juices, are suitable, as well as juices which have a bitter taste, for instance cranberry or pomegranate juice.

Vegetables

Most vegetables are suitable for a detoxification diet. They have to be eaten raw or steam cooked. Germs, such as lucerne (alfalfa), sunflower, buckwheat, wheat, rice and barley germs are the best, because they contain special enzymes which help to “digest” toxic substances in the body. Vegetable juices, especially those made of celery, parsley and spinach are good, whereas carrot juice can be too sweet in this case. “Heavier” root vegetables, such as beetroot, potatoes, sweet potatoes (Jerusalem artichoke) and mushrooms should be avoided.

Cereals

The majority of wholegrain cereals are acceptable for a long-term detoxification of the body. However, they are not all suitable for acute conditions when it is necessary to act quickly in a short period of time. Bread and pastries should be given up entirely, especially those made of white flour. Sweet and “heavy” cereals, such as wheat and oats have to be used only in small quantities. For people with many excessive and toxic substances in their bodies, wheat can be harmful and even provoke an allergic reaction. Barley is very good, especially when cooked in a soup.

Legumes

In principle, all legumes should be avoided in this diet because they cause gases and help to create toxins. The exception is Mung beans, which are an excellent detoxifying food.

Nuts and seeds

Most nuts and seeds, especially if roasted and salted, are too “heavy” and create mucus in the body. Therefore, they are not suitable for this diet. Exceptionally, pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds could be eaten.

Dairy products

Dairy products create an enormous amount of mucus in the body, especially when pasteurised. In case of consumption of a milk product, it should be (for example, yoghurt) diluted with water in the 50:50 ratio, and mixed with spices, such as ginger and cardamom.

Oils

Oils should generally be avoided. They can be consumed in small amounts, but only ghee or “dry” oils, such as mustard or linseed oil.

Animal products

Products of animal origin are greatly responsible for the production of toxins in the body, and should be avoided in this diet, especially red meat, animal fat and tallow. The most harmful type of meat is pork. Furthermore, fish and shells can also add their share in the creation of toxins in the human body. Even though the most appropriate type of meat is poultry, it is best to eliminate all types of meat, and also eggs, from the menu in a cleansing period.

Sweeteners

All sweeteners should be avoided, with the exception of an occasional teaspoon of honey. White sugar is the most harmful to the body, because it produces the greatest amount of toxins.

Spices

"Hot" spices of all kinds are very appropriate for this diet. The intake of salt needs to be reduced and only rock salt should be used because it is lighter and easier to digest. Acids, such as vinegar, wine and all types of preserved food are not suitable for this diet because the sour taste increases the accumulation of toxins and stimulates the process of fermentation.

Beverages

Cold drinks should be avoided and ice should never be added to drinks. Spring or distilled water is suitable, but should be always drunk warm. Furthermore, herbal teas are very effective. The best are those made of hot spices, such as cinnamon, germs, ginger, cardamom and pepper. On the other hand, coffee should be generally avoided. It is better to drink black tea, especially if drunk with a bit of milk and without sugar. A useful detoxification technique is drinking hot water or warm tea made of spices every half an hour up to an hour.

New in the Field of Rejuvenation

This treatment is intended for a quick refreshment of the skin. It may also be used in combination with classical facial care.

Oxyneedling® treatments that include the use of oxygen have been one of the leading anti-ageing treatments in the past few years. The treatment is a combination of lymphatic drainage, endodermo therapy and oxygen infusion with the Oxyneedling® technique. The dermaroller with integrated pure oxygen is used to accelerate blood flow in the skin’s depth, while oxygen is supplied into the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment is performed once a week and we recommend combining it with the Oxygen Lift or the Oxygen Airbrush treatments in the days following the first treatment.

Oxygen Airbrush or skin renewal with the help of oxygen without injections in the hypodermis. This is a non-invasive method of renewing and invigorating the skin. In addition to oxygen spraying, it also includes a nourishing hyaluronic treatment. Oxygen enables active ingredients to make their way to the deeper layers of the skin, soothing and cooling it. The result of this service is already visible after the first visit. However, for the optimal result, six therapies are recommended. To achieve an intensive and rapid effect, the service may be performed every other day, and for a long-lasting and permanent effect, it should be performed once a week.

Humidity: 30 %

Salt steam sauna is a mild form of sauna with extremely beneficial effect on the locomotor system and respiratory organs.

The purging effect already starts after 15 minutes with the ambient temperature of 65°C.

The rise in body temperature strengthens the immune system and the rubbing of the skin with the natural sea salt, from the Piran salt pans, is an ideal exfoliation of the skin thus leaving it pliant, supple, moisturized, healthy and good-looking.

Salt steam sauna is an ideal introductory treatment to all the other different types of sauna, which become more effective, as the skin is intensively cleansed. After the peeling, when dead skin and impurities have been removed, the skin feels soft, clean and silky smooth.

If the skin is very sensitive and damaged, the exposure to the heat of the salt cabin alone may suffice.

Finnish Sauna

Temperature: 85 °C – 110 °C
Humidity: up to 15 %

The Finnish sauna is the most widely known type of sauna; it boosts the immune system and promotes analgesia. It improves flexibility of the body and reduces stress.

The Finnish sauna utilizes high temperature which promotes profuse perspiration.

Very low humidity levels allow temperatures that could boil water to be tolerated and even enjoyed, causing no discomfort whatsoever. The body may lose a large amount of liquid and minerals, which must be replaced during the sauna session itself. To all regular sauna-goers we recommend to cool off with the icy water from the bucket in front of the sauna, to visit the ice cave or to plunge themselves into a swimming pool with cold water.

Rubbing the snow into the body and low temperatures in the cave has the same effect as the jump into the icy river or rolling in the snow.

Time to be spent in the ice cave is short, till the first sensation of cold. Visit to the ice cave is advised only to those who wish to do so and to those who do not suffer from more serious circulation-related difficulties.

Chromotherapy

Temperature: 35 °C - 40 °C

Chromotherapy is the relaxation area where different colours are used to balance energy wherever the body is lacking, be it physical, emotional, spiritual or mental. In order to intensify the effects, we have added a touch of pleasant, relaxing music, slightly heated deck-chairs, mist and starry sky.

The effects of each colour:

Red increases both the activities of a man and his bodily organs; it strengthens the body and spirit. Mostly it is used in combination with green and blue.

Yellow is the colour of intellect. It cheers us up, it helps mental stimulation and mental health, it improves nervous system and increases vitality.

Green is the colour of regeneration, balance and moderation. It refreshes and relaxes, it helps lower the blood pressure, it soothes respiratory problems and helps overcome the hypersensitivity to weather.

Blue has healing and soothing effects. It seems cold, thus helping improve insomnia and relieve tension.

Seawater for your soul and body

Treat yourself to vitamin Sea

The scent of the sea in a new relaxing ambience with warm tones that gently caress your soul. The new and elegant Sea SPA invites you to indulge in sunbathing on the terrace surrounded by green pine trees or to enjoy the sounds of meditative music while diving in the heated seawater.

The warm sea air and water have a beneficial effect on your health. Sea air contains a lot of negative ions that balance the level of the happiness hormone in the body and promote deep and proper breathing as well as heart function, strengthen the immune system, improve concentration, reduce insomnia, depression, headaches and fatigue. Sea salt also improves blood circulation and metabolism. Furthermore, it helps with back pain, because each movement is performed more easily in the water, thus enabling more repetitions and thereby strengthening the muscles. It also promotes functions of the organs (liver, kidneys, skin) that eliminate harmful substances from the body. Moreover, salt has a beneficial effect on the skin and helps with numerous skin conditions, such as dermatitis, psoriasis and various skin eczema.

Salt Room are medically proven and clinically tested

Salt therapies given in the Salt Room are medically proven and clinically tested. They boast outstanding results in health improvement. During inhalation tiny particles of the dry aerosol of salt reach deep into the lower part of the lungs, the origin of breathing problems.

The result of aerosol inhalation is the removal of mucus that blocks the airways. At the same time, the mucous membrane fattens and strengthens after regular therapies, and therefore protects the body from viruses, bacteria, allergens and other harmful elements from the environment.
