How Hydrogen-Rich Water May Help Fight Obesity and Diabetes
A 2011 study found that molecular hydrogen can improve obesity and diabetes in mice by increasing production of the FGF21 protein, which regulates energy metabolism. Drinking hydrogen-rich water might have promising implications for humans, potentially aiding in weight loss and blood sugar management. More research is needed to confirm its effects on humans.
