Water Your Best Antioxidant

Water as your No 1 antioxidant.

However the role of good water as an antioxidant is now beginning to attract considerable interest. Free radical activity is implicated in all degenerative disease and is believed to be the major contributor to accelerated aging. Not only does it affect our internal organs it is reflected in our skin condition. The consequence of this awareness has resulted in the development of more and more antioxidant supplements. Yet good healthy water is itself a hugely valuable, powerful antioxidant.

Hydrogen rich water helping metabolic syndrome and the quality of life of cancer treatment patients.

When you transform water, tap or bottle, using special minerals into alkaline antioxidant water you produce active or molecular hydrogen. This molecular hydrogen is a very powerful antioxidant. This area is now being researched with very encouraging results.

One study carried out by the University of Pennsylvania in the US looked at the benefits of drinking hydrogen rich water for metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is characterised by a number of negative health effects including excess weight, blood sugar issues, high blood pressure and raised cholesterol levels. It can lead on to cardio vascular disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Drinking hydrogen rich water made using special natural minerals resulted in a very significant increase in the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, an increase of good cholesterol and a lowering of total cholesterol. These results were very impressive, considering the only intervention was drinking good hydrogen rich alkaline antioxidant water. Good results were also demonstrated in another study of patients undergoing radiotherapy for cancer drinking hydrogen water. This study showed a worthwhile improvement in quality of life.
