Detox With Decadence At New Raw Foods Spa -- Wonder Raw Retreat Offers New Twists On Old Favorites In Gorgeous Desert Setting

Wonder Valley, Calif. (PRWEB) February 25, 2008 -- Forty-five minutes from Palm Springs, and just next door to Joshua Tree National Park, is a unique relaxation retreat that rejuvenates mind, body and spirit through raw and living foods. Wonder Raw Retreat, opening March 1, 2008, features a variety of detoxifying and weight loss programs that will help clients lose weight, detoxify their digestive systems, and reinvigorate their spirits.

"Years of compromising dietary choices and too much stress often inflict chaos on the digestive and immune systems," states manager, Lucie Jourdan. "Our organic raw food menu cleanses the system and restores enzymes, vitamins and minerals essential for mental and physical health."

Raw food is vibrant with life-giving enzymes and packed with vitamins and minerals that cooking often destroys. Raw food enthusiasts credit their diet with imparting physical vigor, mental clarity, and exceptional health. By following natural hygiene laws through a raw food diet, the body is given the chance it needs to detoxify and heal from years of the standard American diet.

"Mankind originated on the raw food diet," said owner Philip Ittleson. "Nothing can be healthier than fresh, organic, raw foods. Wonder Raw Retreat transforms these foods into gourmet fare while providing a spa experience in an unforgettable setting."

New twists on traditional spa favorites complete the package at Wonder Raw Retreat. Guests stay in luxurious private pyramid-style room and enjoy Pilates, yoga, aerobics, tai chi and hiking through the pristine California desert. Meditation, balancing labyrinth walks, breathing technique classes and more teach participants to manage stress and connect with their spiritual centers. Guests can also indulge in pampering treatments such as massage, infrared sauna, and facials.

One of the favorite detoxifying programs available at Wonder Raw Retreat is a unique weight loss and detoxifying program built on raw-harvested Amazon chocolate. The Amazon chocolate used at Wonder Raw Retreat contains no sugar, dairy, caffeine or preservatives. It contains virtually ever vitamin the body needs, as well as an astounding amount of minerals, trace elements and antioxidants. Chocolate in its raw, natural state is an excellent food for detoxification and a delicious way to eat for health!
