Following these guidelines will greatly improve your experience.
- Refrain from caffeine, cigarettes, and alcohol one week prior to your arrival. Doing so will greatly reduce potential symptoms of detox (e.g. headaches etc)
- Commence some moderate-intensity exercise a week or more prior to arrival. A mix of cardiovascular and strength training is ideal.
