If you have learned about hydrogen medicine, then you should know that hydrogen can treat diseases. Especially for metabolic diseases, inflammatory diseases, degenerative lesions of the central nervous system, ischemia-reperfusion injury diseases, etc., hydrogen has a good intervention effect.
In recent years, metabolic diseases such as diabetes have become a relatively large problem internationally.
The latest national epidemiological survey results on the prevalence of diabetes published in the BMJ magazine in 2020 showed that the prevalence of diabetes in adults was 12.8%, and the prevalence of prediabetes was 35.2%, and these potential people may become new diabetic patients every day.
We know that diabetes can cause a variety of complications, the most common of which are neurological disorders, kidney disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc., and severe cases can also lead to amputation. Diabetes should be detected and treated early.
So is drinking hydrogen water daily effective for diabetes?
Generally speaking, diabetes is controlled by diet + exercise, but today we want to understand the relationship between diabetes and hydrogen-rich water-hydrogen-rich water is one of the important countermeasures to improve diabetes
01 Diabetes and reactive oxygen species
As we all know, diabetes is a disease caused by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin. It is known that insulin-producing β cells are easily damaged by reactive oxygen species. The correlation between the low resistance of β cells to reactive oxygen species and the onset and complications of diabetes is a topic of great concern.
From the perspective of blood composition, the blood of diabetic patients generally has the characteristics of increased glycosylated hemoglobin caused by high blood sugar, increased lipid peroxidation formed by reactive oxygen oxidation, and fewer antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and vitamins, indicating that diabetic patients consume more antioxidants.
Therefore, in addition to controlling blood sugar through diet and exercise, it is also very necessary to take effective antioxidant ingredients on a daily basis to prevent diabetes and its complications. The role of timely removal of various excess reactive oxygen species in the body in the prevention and treatment of diabetes is increasingly receiving widespread attention.
02 Diabetes and hydrogen-rich water
In recent years, domestic and foreign studies have shown that the unique antioxidant effect of hydrogen can effectively remove malignant free radicals in the body, repair damaged pancreatic islet cells, restore and protect the normal function of the pancreas, improve the sensitivity of insulin receptors, accelerate the conversion and utilization of blood sugar, purify blood, remove blood waste, and prevent diabetic complications.
Mechanism of hydrogen-rich water for lowering blood sugar
1. Japanese medical research has shown that for every 0.1 decrease in human pH value, insulin activity will decrease by 30%. The decrease in insulin activity will accelerate the abnormal metabolism of sugar and fat, produce more acidic substances, thus leading to the occurrence of diabetes, and making the condition of diabetes worse, and prone to various complications. Hydrogen-rich water can neutralize acidic metabolic wastes and reduce acidic constitution, thus alleviating the condition of diabetes and reducing the occurrence of complications.
2. Negative potential diabetes is caused by free radicals. Drinking hydrogen-rich water, because of its negative potential, releases electrons, neutralizes and eliminates free radicals, which helps the treatment of diabetes.
3. Small molecular cluster water can activate cells, promote metabolism, dredge microcirculation, improve blood circulation, and achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. For diabetic foot and lower limb gangrene, soaking in hydrogen-rich water will have better efficacy.
4. Supplementing ionized calcium activates β cells, promotes insulin secretion, and helps lower blood sugar.
5. Improve immune function and reduce the occurrence of complications.
6. Supplementing magnesium ions with hydrogen-rich water can neutralize the body's acidic metabolic waste and reduce acidic constitution, thus alleviating diabetes and reducing the occurrence of complications. Negative potential has a positive effect on the treatment of diabetes. Drinking hydrogen-rich water, because it has a negative potential, and the negative potential value is -200--500MV, electrons neutralize and eliminate free radicals, so that the body's functions remain balanced.
It is very common for diabetic hydrogen water users to gradually reduce and stabilize their blood sugar after drinking hydrogen-rich water for a long time, especially drinking hydrogen water and inhaling hydrogen at the same time, which can achieve better improvement results. It is recommended that people with diabetes drink hydrogen water for a long time to help reduce the damage of high blood sugar to the body.
