Why molecular hydrogen is good for health

What I want to talk about here is why drinking hydrogen water is good for health and what are the benefits. The previous page talked about the choice of hydrogen water bottles and listed the most recommended hydrogen water bottles. please check http://termitesolution.us/health/hydrogen_en.php

Hydrogen water, also known as hydrogen-rich water, is drinkable water in which ordinary molecular hydrogen is dissolved. And this kind of ordinary hydrogen can be produced in the metabolism process in the human body, and will not have harmful effects on the human body.

Hydrogen water is not a magic cure for all diseases, but it is really capable in one aspect, that is, hydrogen water is a very effective antioxidant. Sun radiation, air pollution, alcoholism, smoking, pesticides, etc. from the external environment or human habit will cause the human body to produce more reactive oxygen species free radicals, which can cause damage to proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and are also an important factor in human aging and various diseases. These reactive oxygen species free radicals are electron-unpaired oxygen atoms or oxygen-containing groups of atoms. The chemical properties of these substances are very active, trying to grab electrons from other tissues in the body to bond with them, and the substances that have been taken electrons become free radicals again, creating what is called oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress can bring various problems to the human body, such as accelerated aging, allergies, inflammation, heart disease, stroke and tumor etc. We try to eat some antioxidant foods every day, such as pomegranate, blue berry and so on. Molecular hydrogen is a more potent antioxidant than these antioxidant foods. The first is that the covalent bond of the hydrogen molecule is easily broken to generate 2 hydrogen free radicals, which can neutralize 2 malignant free radicals produced in the body. This ends the chain reaction of competing for electrons. The second is that hydrogen molecules are the smallest substances in the universe, and they can easily reach all parts of the body, thereby neutralizing free radicals. Antioxidants from fruits are difficult to reach many places in the body due to their large molecules.

Although hydrogen exists everywhere in the nature, such as 2 hydrogen atoms in each water molecule, these hydrogen atoms are firmly bonded to other atoms and cannot be used to neutralize free radicals. Only molecular hydrogen will be effective. The molecular hydrogen content in the atmosphere is very low, so the normal intake of molecular hydrogen into the human body is very small.

There are various methods for intaking hydrogen, such as inhaling hydrogen in hospitals or laboratories, water-soluble hydrogen tablets, and hydrogen-containing water baths. But from the current point of view, the most convenient, economical and effective method is to use a hydrogen water bottle. The current third-generation hydrogen water bottles can provide hydrogen water with a concentration of about 3 mg/liter or higher.

The benefits of intaking molecular hydrogen include all of the following, and perhaps more. In my opinion it's not that drinking hydrogen water will completely solves those problems, it's that these problems are more or less related to oxidative stress. Drinking hydrogen water should address the effects of that part due to oxidative stress to a considerable extent.

Relief allergies

Reduce inflammation

Improve digestive system health

Provide more energy

Fatigue recovery

Clearer mind

Stabler mood

Relief the pain

Slow down the aging process

Protect organs

Lower cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar

Lose weight

Promote skin health

The people groups I recommend using hydrogen water bottles include people with allergies including pollen allergies, chronic inflammation, digestive system problems, older people, or people who are not very satisfied with their physical condition for other reasons. It can also be used for fatigue recovery after exercise. Although I think most people can get some benefits from drinking hydrogen water, and the effort and cost required to use a hydrogen water bottle is very small, the key is to use it every day for a long time. And many people, including myself, often find it difficult to continue if they don't see obvious results.

According to my experience, drinking hydrogen water has quite obvious effects on anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, and digestive system improvement. I no longer need to use allergy medicines after starting drinking hydrogen water. Others may find other effects, see the links below in this page.

The history of hydrogen water

It was not until 2007 that people began to discover that molecular hydrogen has antioxidant effects in the human body. Japan is the first country to start this research. In Japanese supermarkets, you can buy bottled water with molecular hydrogen dissolved in it. It was also Japan that first started using hydrogen water bottles. At early time, there was a relatively famous hydrogen water bottle in Japan called 江田杯, which belonged to the first generation of hydrogen water bottles.

The first generation of hydrogen water bottles is to electrolyze water in the bottle, so that the hydrogen, oxygen and some waste gas produced are returned to the water. These waste gases include chlorine and ozone. Apart from dissolving waste gas in the water, the hydrogen concentration of this device is also low, and it is difficult to exceed 1 mg/liter. An important sign of the second-generation hydrogen water bottle is the use of hydrogen-oxygen separation technology, which is the so-called SPE/PEM technology. Only the hydrogen will be dissolved in the water, and oxygen as well as waste gases will be expelled from the bottom of the bottle. The hydrogen concentration is about 1.5 mg/liter. The second generation likely started selling in 2018. The best currently available products are the third-generation ones. The third-generation bottles use high pressure to increase the hydrogen concentration in water (3 mg/liter or higher). It is also much more convenient to use than the second generation.
