HOCELL - HEALTH BEGINS WITH HYDROGEN
What is hydrogen?
The importance of antioxidant-oxidant balance
Let's first look at our hero. Hydrogen is the lightest and most common element in the universe. It is the source of energy for our sun and other stars. And it is a very mysterious guest, the simplest and lightest of the chemical elements. It is odorless, colorless,
tasteless. We encourage you to discover it in your body...
Hydrogen in human physiology
The element is produced in the intestines (specifically in the large intestine). Anaerobic bacteria carry out the fermentation process, releasing hydrogen molecules. Some of the molecules are absorbed into the blood, some are re-transformed by intestinal microorganisms, and the rest is excreted as gases.
Where do free radicals come from?
Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an unpaired number of electrons that can be created as a result of the interaction of oxygen molecules with other cells in the body. Depending on diet, lifestyle and environment, cells can create more free radicals than antioxidant enzymes can process. This leads to an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in the human body. This creates a condition called oxidative stress.
If you are wondering whether it is safe to use hydrogen, you should know that hydrogen is a natural product of the processes taking place in your body.
Free radicals – what diseases do they cause?
An excess of free radicals in the body can lead to many serious diseases, such as:
-
Atherosclerosis – free radicals oxidize LDL lipoproteins, leading to the deposition of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels.
-
Cancer – DNA damage by free radicals increases the risk of cellular mutations and cancer development.
-
Neurodegenerative diseases – free radicals can damage neurons, contributing to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
-
Diabetes – their action on pancreatic cells disrupts insulin production.
-
Joint diseases – free radicals contribute to the degradation of joint cartilage, leading to inflammation and pain.
Sources of free radicals in everyday life
Free radicals are produced naturally in the body, but excessive amounts can come from:
-
Polluted air – smog, car exhaust fumes contain toxins that promote the formation of free radicals.
-
Tobacco smoke – smoking cigarettes delivers a huge amount of harmful substances to the body.
-
UV radiation – excessive exposure to the sun accelerates the oxidation processes in the skin.
-
Certain medications – Some pharmaceuticals may increase oxidative stress.
-
Inadequate diet – consuming trans fats and highly processed foods increases the number of free radicals.
-
Stress and lack of sleep – chronic stress and insufficient rest weaken the body and its defense mechanisms.
Oxidative stress
Oxidative stress is a condition in which the body experiences an imbalance between free radicals (oxidants) and antioxidants.
(antioxidants).
Oxidative stress symptoms
Oxidative stress can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the severity. The most common include:
-
Accelerated skin aging – sagging, wrinkles and discoloration,
-
Weakening of the immune system – more frequent infections, longer healing times for wounds,
-
Fatigue and muscle weakness – lack of energy, decreased strength and physical endurance,
-
Problems with concentration and memory – difficulties in remembering and concentrating,
-
Metabolic disorders – increased risk of obesity and diabetes.
Antioxidant supplementation
Reducing oxidative stress involves antioxidant supplementation. Here are the key substances that help neutralize free radicals:
-
Vitamin C – a strong antioxidant, protects cells from damage,
-
Vitamin E – supports cell regeneration and improves skin condition,
-
Coenzyme Q10 – protects mitochondria from oxidative stress,
-
Selenium and zinc – minerals supporting the immune system,
-
Flavonoids and polyphenols – natural substances found in fruits and vegetables, e.g. berries, green tea or red wine.
Oxidative stress and lifestyle
Introducing healthy habits can effectively minimize the effects of oxidative stress. It is worth:
-
Include more antioxidants in your diet – eat fresh vegetables and fruits regularly,
-
Exercise regularly – physical activity helps regulate the level of free radicals,
-
Reduce stress – meditation, yoga and relaxation techniques can improve your well-being,
-
Avoid stimulants – limiting smoking and alcohol can reduce oxidative stress,
-
Take care of your sleep – proper regeneration of the body is crucial to protect it from damage.
-
Hydrogen inhalation - the strongest antioxidant - eliminates free radicals
Did you know that...?
Is your body constantly under attack by oxidative stress? Just as an apple turns brown and metal rusts, wrinkles appear on your face after years of oxidative stress damaging your body cells.
How Molecular Hydrogen Works
to remove toxic free radicals.
Antioxidants are extremely valuable to our health. They are compounds that can contribute an electron to any radical, so that the free radical has no chance
taking an electron from healthy atoms. Typical antioxidants are fruits and vegetables, but the most powerful antioxidants are hydrogen molecules.
