Hydrogen Water Machines: A Worthwhile Investment?

The idea that drinking properly structured, hydrogen-rich water could significantly improve our health is a completely alien one to many of us.

Mainstream medicine has remained largely unaware of the multiple health benefits associated with alkaline, hydrogen-rich water, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reliable, unbiased information on the subject.

Because mainstream medicine has, for the most part, turned a blind eye to the possible effects of hydrogen-rich water, many of us have been left floundering in the dark without any real idea of what drinking it could do for our health.

This is unfortunate, because studies indicate that drinking alkaline, hydrogen-rich water might be instrumental in helping to combat a great number of today's common health concerns.

Research conducted by the University of Pittsburgh, which you can read more about here, suggests that hydrogen-rich water could encourage the growth of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, as well as selectively reducing cytotoxic reactive oxygen species found in the tissues.

In essence, hydrogen-rich water may act as a powerful antioxidant, capable of helping our bodies neutralise the harmful oxygen free radicals in our tissues that are most commonly associated with degenerative disease and accelerated ageing.

The same study also identified hydrogen-rich water as a potential weapon against metabolic syndrome, which is becoming increasingly prevalent in the western world.

Metabolic syndrome is a condition that can result in blood sugar issues, high blood pressure and, eventually, the development of type II diabetes and various cardiovascular diseases.

The majority of subjects with these symptoms reacted positively to drinking alkaline, hydrogen-rich water, which can have an alkalising effect on the tissues and is believed to help combat excess acidity and restore optimum pH balance.

Other studies have offered very promising insights into the ability of hydrogen-rich water to reduce cholesterol levels and combat excess weight gain, which is widely believed to be an 'acid' problem.

These studies demonstrate that, by raising your body's pH levels, alkaline hydrogen-rich water helps to neutralise acidic residue in the blood and tissues and encourages your body to devote resources to properly metabolising carbohydrates and other complicated compounds rather than storing them in the tissues while it focuses on fighting acid build-up.

Hydrogen-rich water also helps to properly hydrate cells, and aids in the proper transportation of nutrients around the body.

American physician Nicholas Perricone, MD, is a vocal proponent of this form of hydration; indeed he believes "we'll reduce health-care costs by a third when people start drinking hydrogen water."

If you're interested in bringing your body back into balance, or looking for something to kickstart your efforts to enjoy a healthy, more energised life, we would highly recommend looking into this healthy, hydrating water.

Keen to start reaping the benefits associated with hydrogen-rich water? I would suggest that you cut out coffee, tea and soft drinks immediately, and purchase a water alkalizer.

Water alkalizers normally contain a filter packed with a carefully-selected blend of natural bioceramic materials that react with water to produce alkaline water with plenty of active hydrogen.

As well as providing you with pH boosting, detoxifying water, a water alkalizer will give you all the benefits of an antioxidant supplement, and can help you to resist the onset of many degenerative diseases. They are often quite portable too. In fact, this portable water alkalizer is small enough to take to the gym!

Of course, not all water alkalizers double as hydrogen water machines: some merely increase the pH of the water, without the hydrogen component.

As such, it is wise to use an alkalizer which relies on bioceramic minerals to achieve the hydrogen effect.

This is a good cost-saver too, as traditional titanium- and platinum-coated hydrogen water machines – some of which come with self-cleaning functions – can cost thousands of pounds.

Compare to the undersink Energy Plus Water Filter System, which gives alkaline, hydrogen-rich water straight from the tap. Not only that, but the under-sink system achieves high levels of filtration.

If alkalizers are not for you, you might want to consider alkaline mineral sticks. Although these sticks are designed primarily to create alkaline water, they do increase the active hydrogen content of the average glass.

They also employ bioceramic minerals to change ordinary water into health-giving, alkaline, hydrogen-rich water that can help you along the road to better health, and an increased sense of wellbeing.
