The science and benefits of fasting

About Water Fasting

What happens in your body during a therapeutic water fast and why it works.

Water fasting consists of consuming only water for a determined period, to obtain benefits of a preventive, therapeutic, transformational and spiritual nature.
Vasile Nemeș

The science behind it

The ACAD Synergy

Water fasting simultaneously activates four interconnected biological forces, an orchestra of natural healing recognized by two Nobel Prizes.

  • A

    Autophagy

    Awarded the Nobel in 2016, it cleans and recycles damaged cells, eliminating toxins, bacteria and viruses.
  • C

    Ketosis

    Transforms metabolism, using fat as an energy source. Reduces inflammation and supports clean, stable energy balance.
  • A

    Apoptosis

    Eliminates dangerous cells, preventing disease and encouraging reconstruction of healthy tissue.
  • D

    Detoxification

    Releases the body from waste and inflammation, amplifying the effects of the other three processes.
Autophagy received two Nobel Prizes: Christian de Duve (1974) and Yoshinori Ohsumi (2016), demonstrating that controlled starvation activates deep healing mechanisms.

Optimal duration

Why 21 days?

Water penetrates deeply into the body in this interval, washing, cleaning, oxygenating and resetting the system.
