So everybody and their mother knows that water, AKA the best thing in the world (because it literally gives us life), is composed of two basic ingredients: hydrogen and oxygen. Sometimes, we add a squeeze of lemon or a couple slices of cucumber to spruce things up, but did you know that there’s a brand new way to make the water itself even healthier than it already is? The answer is to boost the water’s hydrogen content…with a bottle you can easily carry in your bag. Curious yet?

Introducing the Belo Hydro 2.0, a sleek and minimalist bottle with a built-in mechanism that is able to infuse hydrogen gas into your water. All you have to do is fill your bottle with water, and press one of two buttons to activate! Your water will be ready in either 1 minute (for an instant swig) or 3 minutes (for maximum hydration).

Hydrogen-enriched water has a slew of health benefits, and it’s a great antioxidant! Here are five reasons you need to grab your own bottle at The Belo Shop now.

1. It eliminates free radicals.

These days, boosting our health should be our top priority. And water that is even richer in hydrogen than its regular counterparts is our best defense against free radicals (the unstable atoms in your body that wreak havoc on other cells, causing aging and other issues). We need every single cell in our body to be as healthy as they can right now, and if a few swigs of hydrogen bottle can help, then why not?

2. It regulates your blood pressure and stabilizes cholesterol.

“Really?” you ask, “Water can do all this?” Well, hydrogen-rich water can! Hydrogen water is able to boost mitochondrial function in our cells. And as we all know, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell! This, in turn, improves our HDL cholesterol levels. High-Density Lipoprotein is the good kind of cholesterol, the kind that removes harmful cholesterol and reduces our risk of heart disease. And all of this causes a reduction in oxidative stress and inflammation in the circulatory system, thereby regulating your blood pressure. We’ll take more of that HDL, please!

3. It’s fantastic for anti-aging.

Hydrogen-rich water is a warrior against UV damage. We all know that extensive UV exposure is harmful, but what many might be unaware of is that UV damage increases the concentration of Reactive Oxygen (ROS) free radicals in our body. By fighting UV damage, we can bring down those ROS levels and enjoy supple and healthy skin.

4. It combats fatigue.

In a 2018 study published in BioMed Research International, researchers found that hydrogen-rich water “exerted antifatigue effects” on a group of swimming mice. In this September 2019 study published in the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, humans who were given H2-infused water prior to exercise experienced “significantly improved” endurance. Scientists have proven that increased hydrogen content in water does have an effect!

5. It reduces stress and anxiety and improves your mood.

There’s a lot going on in the world right now, from political arguments to global health crises. And no one can blame you if you’ve been feeling stressed, moody, and anxious lately. Here’s where Belo Hydro 2.0 can help. The journal Med Gas Res (Medical Gas Research) published a 2017 study concluding that hydrogen-rich water has observable effects on one’s mood and anxiety levels. “In conclusion, HRW (hydrogen-rich water) administration for 4 weeks in adult volunteers improved mood, anxiety, and autonomic nerve function, suggesting that HRW administration may offer an effective method to reinforce quality of life and maintain good health,” says the authors. 

Belo is all about beauty, so it makes perfect sense that we would add the Belo Hydro 2.0 to our arsenal. And we want our Belo Experience to extend beyond the walls of our clinic. We want you to be able to take beauty wherever you go. Enjoy the benefits of hydrogen-rich water by grabbing your bottle now.
