Summary
Everyone is talking about hydrogen infused water. Why? Because the benefits of drinking it may include increased energy, reduced inflammation, decreased recovery times, and even disease prevention! Those are some pretty big claims, right?
In this episode, Kelsea and Rachael get down with the science and discuss the newest data studies surrounding hydrogen water. Then, they review two of the newest portable hydrogen water bottles out there. They want you to know that they approached the topic with an open mind and a healthy amount of skepticism. When talking about one of the studies, Rachael said "that really puts it over the edge for me." Want to find out why she said that?
Does it taste like a seltzer? How does it work? Is it worth the money? Listen to Kelsea and Rachael share their take on the worst and best case scenario of buying a hydrogen water bottle and whether or not it's worth the investment. Then, make your own informed decision on whether or not to take the plunge.
