Things You Didn’t Know About Hydrogen Water

These days, Hydrogen water is on the list of the biggest trends. Just like alkaline water, this water type offers a lot of health benefits.  Hydrogen water comes with some very interesting studies that have already been carried out and this is what makes it so widely acceptable.

So, What Is Hydrogen Water?

Hydrogen water is simply pure water with extra hydrogen molecules added to it. Hydrogen (H2) is the most abundant molecule in the universe. It’s an odourless, colourless, and tasteless gas. But only in 2007 did a team in Japan discover that inhaled hydrogen gas could act as an antioxidant and protect the brain from free radicals, find more information at myhicalmaids(dot)com. This sparked the interest in its potential health benefits worldwide and led to some breakthrough research.

The Complete and Powerful Colon and Body Cleanser

What is Colon or Colorectal Cancer?

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in both men and women, but mostly overlooked by everybody. Although it is slightly more common in men, 1 in every 24 women will be diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer at some point in her life.

The colon is part of the digestive system responsible in bringing waste materials from the small intestines to the rectum. It absorbs sodium and water from the waste after food passes through the intestines and then the waste is ready to be expulsed from your body. For the colon to perform its function effectively, it needs to be healthy otherwise negative impacts will be evident in food digestion and different other body processes that are essential. When toxins reach the colon from unhealthy drugs and foods, it may become clogged making it harder for it to function effectively. It is here that most people start experiencing bowel movement difficulties.

What you should know about Diabetes and Liver Disease

Diabetes is a serious metabolic disorder and it has reached epidemic proportions globally. This disease happens as a result of insulin resistance in the body.

A recent study at Université de Genève says that insulin imbalance may not be the only reason behind diabetes. Researchers say that obesity also promotes resistance to insulin and is major risk factor.

According to them, the liver can also contribute to the onset of this disease by producing a significant amount of glucose outside of any hormonal signal. And, if a person is obese, this excess production of glucose may cause type 2 diabetes.

The Journal of Biological Chemistry published this study.

FATTY LIVER CAN ALSO CAUSE DIABETES: STUDY

Glucose levels in blood are regulated by two antagonistic hormones. The hormone insulin lowers blood glucose level and the hormone glucagon increases it. The liver regulates blood sugar levels by producing and redistributing glucose under the influence of these two hormones. Obese people are at risk of developing insulin resistance and they also have a tendency to accumulate fat in liver cells. Fat in the liver gives rise to fatty liver disease. This causes an alteration in the morphology and structure of mitochondria, the cells energy sources. Researchers say that these changes can have an effect on mitochondrial function. In the study, they sought to find a connection between liver cell mitochondria, obesity and diabetes. They focused on a protein called OPA1 which maintains the structure of mitochondria.
