I have a daughter who has returned from a five-year stint in Iraq where she was a civilian trainer. There she worked seven days a week and 12 hours a day. Because the local food was contaminated, they had to rely on imports that were not high on the nutrition scale. She was exhausted and suffering from a bad diet. Also, whereas she left with a normalNormal saline flush weight, she gained about 60 or 70 pounds, probably due to overwork, lack of exercise and poor food.
I want to send her to a retreat or resort where they use the Pilates exercised method, and offer fresh-air activities, such as swimming and hiking. I am particularly concerned that the meals be healthy and organic. She has ingested enough pesticides and additives to ruin anyone's health. I would wholeheartedly appreciate any recommendation you may offer. I want her to send her off for at least a month. Many thanks.
