Free radicals are the product of human metabolism and may also come from the environment. They are extremely active and easy to attack other substances, forming a chain reaction and causing great harm. If free radicals accumulate too much, it is closely related to diseases such as aging and cancer. Recently, according to the anti-free radical research of hydrogen, Japan found that hydrogen can help cells and experimental animals reduce the toxicity of free radicals. In Japan, a wave of "water-based water" added with hydrogen was set off, and even spread to Taiwan Province. Is the hydrogen molecule really that magical?
Too many free radicals destroy the body and suffer everywhere.
According to the National Cancer Institute, free radicals are substances with strong activity and potential harm to cells. Among them, oxygen-containing free radicals are the most common, also known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). The National Center for Alternative Medicine pointed out that the oxidative stress caused by free radicals is related to human diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and so on.
Can free radicals be prevented? Mayo Clinic, a well-known American medical center, mentioned that antioxidants can fight the damage of free radicals. Common natural antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, carotenoids, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, are good sources of antioxidants.
Can hydrogen resist oxidation? Have a scientific experience base
As for hydrogen, can it also resist oxidation? According to the first paper published by Professor Naruto Ota in Natural Medicine in 2007, it is confirmed that hydrogen may be added to the culture medium to cultivate cells, which can alleviate the oxidative damage of mouse brain after inhaling hydrogen, thus having the effect of relieving oxidative stress.
There are many studies on hydrogen (Y Hong, 20 10). Whether directly inhaling hydrogen or drinking hydrogen water (water rich in hydrogen), it can be seen that hydrogen is beneficial to many patients. Japan also uses hydrogen for diabetics and hemodialysis patients. However, most of the research on hydrogen comes from unhealthy patients or experimental animals, and the benefits to healthy people are still unclear.
In this regard, in the latest paper published in the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology on October 9, Chengnan Ota conducted a double-blind controlled experiment, and found that drinking 500ml hydrogen water (0.8- 1.0 ppm) before exercise can help ordinary people or athletes, relieve muscle oxidative stress after exercise, and help to reduce fatigue and increase endurance. However, this paper cannot put forward the exact molecular mechanism.
Drinking hydrogen water is good for health? Empirical evidence is still insufficient.
In Taiwan Province Province, Professor Lu Fengzhou, who is known as Dr. Shui, found that a free radical "humic acid" may also be the murderer of Blackfoot, and conducted a free radical study. It is found that electrolytic reduction of water is related to reducing free radicals in the blood of patients with acute pancreatitis, which indirectly helps the development of water-based aquaculture in Japan.
The so-called plain water is the hydrogen water in Japan. The research based on hydrogen is expected to help reduce the oxidative damage caused by free radicals and become a popular health care product. However, there are different ways to use hydrogen, such as inhalation, oral administration or intravenous injection of hydrogen water, and the ways to obtain hydrogen water are also different. Hydrogen can be directly dissolved in water under pressure, or it can be produced by chemical methods. Electrolysis is the most commonly used way of hydrogen culture. Therefore, drinking hydrogen water is not equal to absorbing hydrogen. Those who want to try can pay attention.
It is not easy for patients with excessive hydrogen and water to consult a doctor.
At present, there is no complete research to confirm whether drinking hydrogen water is beneficial to health and whether it has the effect of inhaling hydrogen. At present, the animal experiments on hydrogen exceed 170, and the clinical trials exceed 40. More research will reveal the mystery in the future.
However, is drinking hydrogen water harmful? According to Y Red 20 10, there is no harmful situation of drinking too much hydrogen water or inhaling hydrogen. However, patients with gastrointestinal or renal problems should consult a doctor.
