How is hydrogen inhalation good to human health(Ⅰ)？

At present, with the increasing evidence of hydrogen intervening in diseases, as well as the biological safety of hydrogen, combined with the fact that using hydrogen hardly changes the lifestyle, it has become a method of health care for more and more people, and is becoming more and more popular among people. Breathing hydrogen is also one of the specific applications of hydrogen molecules in health care.

The effects of hydrogen on the circulatory system and the benefits of inhaling hydrogen every day on the human body.

1. The effect of hydrogen absorption on the morphology and function of human blood cells
Studies have found that inhaling hydrogen can improve blood behavior or increase antioxidant activity in the blood. Inhaling 3% hydrogen for 40 minutes and then resting for 60 minutes showed an increase in antioxidant capacity in human serum. The antioxidant capacity increased 2.5 times when resting 60 minutes after inhalation compared with 40 minutes after inhalation. Research results show that 3% hydrogen inhalation can improve the rheological/morphological behavior of red blood cells and phagocytosis-related activities of leukocytes, while enhancing the antioxidant capacity in the blood.

2. The promoting effect of hydrogen inhalation on cardiovascular health in the elderly
In a study looking at the impact of hydrogen inhalation on cardiovascular risk factors in 65-year-olds, the study found that short-term hydrogen inhalation for 4 weeks was beneficial to various cardiometabolic risk factors in older men and women. Hydrogen inhalation significantly reduced AHA risk scores, suggesting that hydrogen inhalation may be a candidate for cardiovascular health for primary and secondary prevention of cardiometabolic morbidity in older adults.

3. Effect of hydrogen inhalation on hypertension
In December 2020, "Scientific Reports" published a report from Keio University School of Medicine in Japan. The study used an animal model of renal hypertension. Giving animals only 1.3% hydrogen for 1 hour a day and 4 weeks of continuous intervention can significantly reduce blood pressure. Even if hydrogen inhalation intervention was performed 3 weeks after nephrectomy, it still showed a certain effect.

4. The effect of hydrogen inhalation on atherosclerosis
The findings suggest that continuous inhalation of low-concentration hydrogen can alleviate vascular remodeling by reducing oxidative stress and cell proliferation. Cardiovascular diseases are chronic/persistent oxidative stress caused by lifestyle-related diseases, that is, inhaling hydrogen molecules in real life helps reduce chronic/persistent oxidative stress and has the potential to prevent cardiovascular diseases , such as atherosclerosis.

5. Hydrogen inhalation prevents myocardial infarction and heart failure and improves heart function
Early inhalation of 1.3% hydrogen in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can prevent the decline in left ventricular function after 6 months. In chronic heart failure models, hydrogen inhalation significantly reduces cardiomyocyte apoptosis and oxidative damage, stimulates cholesterol efflux from foam cells in the cardiovascular system, and reduces the risk of death related to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
