Can Hydrogen-Rich Water Boost Brain Health?

A 2008 study from Japan found that hydrogen-rich water may help prevent brain damage by reducing oxidative stress. The research used mice that were deficient in vitamin C and found that drinking hydrogen-rich water prevented the formation of harmful superoxides. This could have promising implications for human brain health, potentially helping to prevent diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
