REGENERATION WITH THERAPEUTIC FASTING
At ECOHOTEL EL AGUA, we offer you 2 types of fasting, both supervised by our team of highly qualified doctors.
Learn a little more about its extraordinary benefits for your health. Metabolic, vascular, endocrine and cognitive health. But what is therapeutic intermitten fasting, deep fasting and regenerative autophagy?
Intermittent therapeutic fasting
Intermittent fasting consists of distributing the times we eat within a period or feeding window.
Intermittent fasting consists of distributing the times we eat within a period or feeding window. In this way, by not eating any food, you reduce your metabolic rate, and put your body on “pause” to enter a physiological, metabolic and neuroendocrine “reset” process called AUTOPHAGIA.
There are different types of intermittent fasting, the best known being 8/16 fasting, 24 fasting and 48 fasting, although there are also others such as 12/12
The 12/12 fast means that we will be fasting for 12 hours and the feeding window will be in the following 12 hours.
Fasting on 8/16 means that we will be fasting for 16 hours and the feeding window will be in the following 8 hours.
Fasting on 18/6 means that we will be fasting for 18 hours and the feeding window will be in the following 6 hours.
Fasting (intermittent or deep) is recommended as preventive or curative therapy in the following cases:
Overweight (especially in the abdominal area)
Hypertension
Type 2 diabetes
Hypercholesterolemia
Smoking
Sedentary lifestyle and stress
Obesity
Diabetes mellitus type 2
Hyperlipidemia
Hyperuricemia
Cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors
Chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases
States of physical and mental exhaustion
Prevention and regeneration
Added to this are many other therapeutic indications that are increasingly better documented scientifically. Among the long list of indications are also joint discomfort, rheumatism, chronic digestive disorders, migraines and other pathologies.
Additionally, some research suggests that intermittent fasting may be more beneficial for:
Reduce inflammation and improve conditions associated with inflammation, for example:
Alzheimer disease
Arthritis
Asthma
Multiple sclerosis
Stroke
The decisive factor for the success of your stay are the days of progressive readaptation to normal food. In this phase, the sleeping stem cells are activated and new structures are created.
It is the regeneration phase (also called “rejuvenation”), which contains enormous therapeutic potential.

Before your arrival, we will send you a questionnaire that you must fill out and send back to us, along with some simple medical tests prior to the start of the program you choose, which we will detail once you complete an inscription.
deep fasting and regenerative autophagy
There are different periods of deep fasting according to your need or desire to improve your health, or prevent diseases.
Deep fasting consists of the deprivation of food for a minimum period of 72 hours up to 21 days, preferably accompanied only by water and/or optionally, fasting may be accompanied by infusions, teas, or remineralizing green juices.
*It is recommended to do a fasting cure a year as a preventive measure.
Benefits of deep fasting and regenerative autophagy
It is an innate process of our body, very efficient, to get rid of defective parts (misfolded proteins, cellular atypias, DNA alterations, cryptodysmorphisms), that stop the tumor processes, regulate metabolic dysfunction (obesity, diabetes, endocrine decline), reduce inflammation (present in all disease processes) and slow down the speed of the aging process (antiaging), among many other benefits mentioned above.
All fasts are not suitable for everyone. Certain types of fasts are discouraged to:
Pregnancy
People with anorexia
Diabetics
Other medical problems.
Before starting any fasting program we recommend you consult your doctor.
