Pain and inflammation — they’re two things that can wreak havoc on your daily life. Furthermore, conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can negatively affect your healthspan. Although not life-threatening, rheumatoid arthritis can make the day-to-day a literal pain.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to pain and swelling, mainly in the joints. Other symptoms may include:
A common condition, roughly two million people suffer from rheumatoid arthritis in the United States. Approximately 200,000 new cases occur each year. Although the disease mainly affects women, men can suffer from this disease as well.
There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. However, along with traditional medicine, molecular hydrogen has shown great potential in relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
A 2012 study published in Medical Gas Research found that the use of hydrogen-rich water greatly reduced symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Twenty patient with rheumatoid arthritis participated in the study.
Every day for four weeks, the patients drank hydrogen-rich water, followed by a wash-out period. Once disease activity was assessed, the patients resumed drinking the H2 water for another four weeks, followed by a wash-out period.
At the end of the study, researchers found the drinking hydrogen water significantly reduced the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, four of the patients ended the study symptom-free.
How did drinking hydrogen water improve these symptoms? It comes down to the antioxidant benefits of molecular hydrogen.
People with rheumatoid arthritis experience oxidation stress. This stress is caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules. Free radicals are unstable because they contain one electron. Because electrons like to be in pairs, free radicals try to steal electrons from other cells.
During this search for electrons, the interaction between free radicals and healthy cells causes oxidation stress. Cells can get damaged or even die as a result of free radicals. Thus, oxidation stress occurs.
Oxidation stress is the cause or contributor to every human disease. Moreover, it leads to things like:
Molecular hydrogen neutralizes free radicals by turning them into harmless water.
Since molecular hydrogen (H2) contains two hydrogen atoms, it is able to donate one to free radicals. Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules. Thus, when molecular hydrogen donates a hydrogen atom, the formula for H2O is complete.
There are different ways to consume molecular hydrogen. But drinking hydrogen-rich water — the method used in this study — offers some unique benefits. What makes this method unique?
First of all, drinking hydrogen-rich water prevents dehydration. Drinking water can also help cut consumption of unhealthy things, like sugary sodas and artificially flavored juice drinks.
