Let’s look more closely at a few of the hydrogen water benefits to your health:
Has antioxidant properties. Hydrogen water, produced by an alkaline water machine, is said to help prevent oxidative stress caused by normal body functions and external forces like sun exposure and industrial chemicals.
Lowers inflammation. Preliminary studies suggest that hydrogen water may be anti-inflammatory, which could reduce the risk of heart disease and other life-threatening diseases. Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to serious health problems. Drinking hydrogen water supposedly helps reduce inflammation in the body.
Boosts energy levels. Hydrogen water increases energy, reduces inflammation, and reduces recovery times after exercise, according to a pilot study investigating the effects of drinking hydrogen-rich water on muscle fatigue caused by acute exercise in elite athletes.
Improves mood, anxiety, and autonomic nerve function. A study of 31 healthy adults suggests that consuming hydrogen-rich water for four weeks improved mood, anxiety, and autonomic nerve function.
Reduces inflammatory responses and prevents apoptosis of peripheral blood cells. A randomized, double-masked, controlled trial of 41 participants found that hydrogen-rich water increased antioxidant capacity and reduced inflammatory responses in healthy adults.
Improves physical performance. A study of trained and untrained subjects found that consuming hydrogen-rich water for seven days improved physical performance. A total of 37 volunteers participated in the study.
