Hydrogen: The Cellular Supervisor that Bolsters Our Resilience

Hydrogen acts as a cellular supervisor, promoting resilience by inducing a mild increase in oxidative stress, akin to the effects of exercise. This prompts a NERF2 response, which leads to the production of endogenous antioxidants such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase. The diminishing levels of hydrogen production in middle-aged, overweight individuals are alarming, as upwards of 80% can no longer generate it, resulting in a shift towards methane production instead. This decline correlates with poorer health outcomes, and research on centenarians, particularly in Okinawa, demonstrates that those over 100 possess significantly higher breath hydrogen levels than younger adults. Changes in lifestyle and diet are contributing to the reduction in gut bacteria capable of producing hydrogen, exacerbating these health issues, and hindering recovery even when individuals attempt to reintegrate fiber into their diets.
