It contains the necessary trace elements and vitamins to promote cell regeneration and reduce fatigue and anxiety, with the prohibition of processed products. “The more homemade the food, the better,” she emphasizes.
“Walking is an exercise that we can all do, and it is recommended to take at least 10,000 steps a day,” insists Zel at this Mallorca retreat, and there is no shortage of Casa Barré training with the isometric exercise method, a different method of exercise.
