Hydrogen water fundamental to all medicine?
Regular consumption of hydrogen water can provide great health benefits
If we neutralize the excess of free radicals, we preserve beautiful skin for longer
When that apple turns brown it's like when iron rusts, it oxidizes.
We do not want our cell membranes to be subjected to this process.
What is hydrogen water?
Hydrogen water should be purified water to which molecular hydrogen (H2) has been added. This can be done with the infusion of hydrogen gas, by a special form of electrolysis or by using "effervescent tablets" in the drinking water. The amount of molecular hydrogen (H2) is often stated in mg per liters or parts per million (ppm). Hydrogen is the smallest of the bioavailable molecules and the most energetic we know of. Many people know hydrogen in combination with oxygen as explosive gas because it explodes when you light it and forms water (H2O). The energy yield during combustion is a whopping 34.2 Kcal/g, while petrol and long fatty acids only provide around 10 Kcal/g. Sugar and protein provide no more than around 4 Kcal/g.
The hydrogen molecule has two free electrons that can neutralize free radicals with water (H2O) as the end product. A fundamental effect of consuming hydrogen water is the ability to counteract inflammation in the body. The health effects have been confirmed in clinical trials and controlled trials.
Basic characteristics:
- Anti-inflammatory (whole body)
- A selective antioxidant
- Supports natural gene expression
- Counteracts allergies
- Counteracts cell death (healthy cells)
- Counteracts the aging process
- Reduces pain
- Protects the skin
- Increases combustion
- Regenerate other antioxidants
- Counteracts muscle fatigue
- Reduces the occurrence of lactic acid during physical exertion
- Prevents diabetes
- Prevents the growth of cancer cells
- Positively affects our ability to think, intellectual and mental performance
- Contributes to protecting DNA and RNA
- Prevents radiation damage
- Non-toxic regardless of intake with no known side effects
Other known effects
Daily consumption of pure hydrogen water has been shown to improve mood, promote weight loss (for those who need it), reduce blood sugar, prevent cancer, protect the brain, promote good function in the eyes, joints, give nicer skin, counteract muscle fatigue, increase lifespan, promote wound healing and contribute to a better acid/base balance in the body. More and more athletes are drinking hydrogen water for increased performance. Positive health effects are reported on almost all of the body's important organs such as the brain, eyes, lungs, liver and heart.
Studies and documented health effects:
- Reduction of muscle fatigue during intensive training
- Reduction of oxidative stress after radiotherapy
- Positive effects on people with insulin resistance
- Positive effects on people with type 2 diabetes
- May have a preventive effect against Parkinson's and other neurological disorders
- Can have a positive effect on mood
- Has anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory) effects
- Contributes to increased energy turnover and thus to weight reduction
- Can help protect the mitochondria and increase ATP production
- Daily bathing of the face in hydrogen water significantly reduced the extent of wrinkles in 3 months
- Contributes to faster wound healing
- Can counteract overactive bladder
- Can improve heart function
- Can counteract hair loss
- May reduce allergic reactions
- Can help reduce the effects of poisoning
How to get a lot more molecular hydrogen
You can drink and bathe in hydrogen water and breathe in hydrogen gas. Availability and finances can be a limitation for most of us. In Uno Vita, we investigate all possibilities and will do our best to ensure that as many people as possible get access. For practical reasons, per easiest and most sensible to drink hydrogen water. You can get a hydrogen bottle (quality and functionality are important), hydrogen whirling machine or hydrogen machine that you can connect to the water filter or let it suck up purified water from a container. The advantage of the latter is that it has no delay, but only produces as much hydrogen water as you want on the "kick".
Different ways to produce hydrogen water.
If you do not see microbubbles in the water, the system does not produce hydrogen gas. There are basically 2 varieties (there are several ways to produce hydrogen) of hydrogen water generators on the market.
1. The best/safest. Professional hydrogen water generators produce hydrogen gas (H2) which can release electrons and is an antioxidant. Exhaust gases (any residual chlorine, ozone, oxygen, etc.) are separated into a separate outlet and are not mixed with the water. The characteristic is that these have a PEM membrane (proton exchange membrane) which is able to only release H2 to the water.
2. Good ones that require completely clean water (well purified). These generators use a simpler form of electrolysis where hydrogen gas is separated and produced and released into the water. It also works perfectly fine and it is the same hydrogen (same quality), but with these machines it is even more important that the water is completely clean (use one of our filters with an ultra filter (UF) before production.
3. Bad solutions. There are many people who want to sell hydrogen water and claim, for example, that so-called ionization machines are hydrogen machines. Most of these devices split up the molecules in the water and primarily OH-, a hydroxyl radical, an oxidant is produced NOT an antioxidant as H2 but also some hydrogen gas. This assumes that there are minerals present in the water (for example, we do not want extra calcium in the water).
Ionisation machines also create alkaline water (high pH, basic) which is not recommended for several reasons (separate article on this to come). Manufacturers like to advertise with a high negative reduction potential (- ORP), but this reduction potential has no antioxidant effect, in contrast to the negative electrical potential of pure hydrogen gas. On a simple measuring device (an ORP meter) you can apparently get the same results (negative - ORP), but it is important what has caused the negative ORP as explained.
You can drink as much pure hydrogen water as you like.
If you do not have a water purifier or filter system, you MUST boil the water and cool it down before making hydrogen water, otherwise chlorine compounds in the tap water can destroy the positive effects. Hydrogen machines contribute to increased real negative reduction potential (-ORP). One tip is to use the "push method" (English push), because hydrogen is usually produced in the gut, there is always some free hydrogen in the blood. If you take a large glass of freshly made hydrogen water and drink it quickly (not cold, room temperature), you get high H2 levels in the blood, which immediately neutralizes oxidative stress at the cellular level at high speed! This is undoubtedly the most efficient way to use hydrogen water.
Free radicals are continuously formed which we want to neutralize, hydrogen is an effective way of doing that
