AsiaToday reporter Lee Chul-hyun - "Drinking hydrogen-rich alkaline water helps us live longer," said Dr. Lee Kyu-jae, Head of Hydrogen Antioxidant Healing Center, in the seminar for Chinese tester group held at Donggang Cistar in Gangwon on June 15.

He said, "Drinking water is largely divided into safe water and healthful water." Then he pointed out that the value of water shows a big difference depending on the region. "Nearly two million people die every year in Africa for want of clean water. That's why water is called life. Tap water and purified water is safe water that is needed in the places like Africa."

He continued, "But in places like Korea and China, people see water as a great determining factor to living a longer life that goes beyond safety standard."

He claimed, "In order to be live a healthy and longer life, you need to drink hydrogen-rich alkaline water."

Dr. Lee said, "Hydrogen water has a powerful function of eliminating free oxygen radicals that contribute to the development of illness and ultimately are responsible for the aging process."

Then he said that hydrogen water is recognized as medicine in Korea and Japan along with alkaline water. He explained that the number of free oxygen radicals dropped in a blood test that was conducted five minutes after drinking hydrogen water.

In addition, he said, "Drinking hydrogen water helps improve constipation. It's also helpful for asthma and rhinitis sufferers."

Regarding alkaline water, Dr. Lee said, "I've found that it removes body fat and is effective for diabetes. Through the study of 17 years of water, I've learned that hydrogen-rich alkaline water helps you live longer."

Meanwhile, the Chinese tester group moved to the Center after the seminar to participate in water treatment program.
