Hydrogen, The Gut’s Best Friend: Unlocking the Secrets to a Happy Gut
false
Crohn’s Disease, makes your gut “unhappy”
It’s hard to live in this day and age without frequently being reminded of the importance of hydration. But as important as this message may be for the general population, it’s absolutely critical when you have Crohn’s disease.
The good news is that it’s usually possible to avoid dehydration, as long as you’re aware of what can cause it and pay attention to getting enough of the right fluids. This means that people with Crohn’s may need to work harder to stay hydrated than most other people — especially if disease-related factors put you at high risk for dehydration.
Here’s how Crohn’s disease can lead to dehydration, and what you can do to make sure you’re keeping this risk as low as possible.
Understanding the Link Between Crohn’s Disease and Dehydration
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the digestive tract, causing inflammation and damage. Though it commonly affects the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine, inflammation can occur anywhere in the digestive tract.
Dehydration is a significant concern for individuals with Crohn’s disease due to various factors. Gastrointestinal losses from diarrhea, avoidance of food and drink due to abdominal symptoms, and increased fluid loss in the stool for those with portions of their gastrointestinal tract removed can all lead to dehydration. Additionally, external factors like excessive sweating, high urine output, alcohol intake, and diarrhea from infections can further contribute to dehydration. Therefore, staying hydrated is essential for managing the disease and overall health.
Recognizing and Managing Dehydration in Crohn’s Disease
Early signs of dehydration in people with Crohn’s disease include constant thirst, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and dark urine. Though there’s limited direct data on dehydration’s impact on Crohn’s symptoms, it’s believed that dehydration can amplify gastrointestinal and other discomforts. More severe dehydration can manifest as dizziness, muscle cramps, pale and dry skin, sunken eyes, confusion, rapid breathing, and rapid pulse.
In extreme cases, dehydration can lead to life-threatening complications, such as kidney failure. Timely medical attention is crucial for severe cases.
Long-term, proper hydration is essential for the well-being of all organ systems, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and managing dehydration in individuals with Crohn’s disease.
How hydrogen water help in hydration or improve gut’s health？
As mention above, proper hydration is crucial for maintaining good health. Water plays a vital role in nearly every bodily function, from regulating body temperature to aiding in nutrient absorption and waste elimination. However, not all water is created equal. Hydrogen water takes hydration to the next level with its unique properties, but why?
Understanding Hydrogen Water
Molecular hydrogen, composed of two hydrogen atoms, is the smallest and lightest molecule, which gives it distinct advantages. Due to its size, hydrogen can easily penetrate cell membranes and enter the mitochondria, the cellular powerhouse where energy is produced. This ability to access cellular structures sets it apart from conventional water.
Hydrogen Water as an Antioxidant
One of the most intriguing aspects of hydrogen is its antioxidant properties. Unlike traditional antioxidants that indiscriminately neutralize free radicals, molecular hydrogen selectively targets only the most harmful radicals. By reducing oxidative stress, hydrogen helps to protect cells and maintain their integrity. This effect may contribute to better hydration, as well-nourished cells are more efficient at absorbing and utilizing water.
Other Potential Health Benefits of Hydrogen Water
Studies suggest that molecular hydrogen may have anti-inflammatory effects, support cardiovascular health, and even aid in recovery after exercise. Additionally, hydrogen water’s ability to mitigate oxidative stress might be particularly beneficial for athletes and individuals with physically demanding lifestyles.
It’s essential to note that hydrogen water does not replace regular water. Instead, it complements a balanced hydration strategy. Regular water remains essential for overall fluid intake, while hydrogen-rich water offers an additional edge with its potential health-enhancing properties. Consider incorporating both into your daily routine to optimize hydration and reap potential benefits.
Integrating hydrogen water into your daily routine is simple and convenient. Soyoshi Hydrogen Water Generator will become your choice to enjoy hydrogen water everyday.

After being diagnosed with gout in his 20s, Andrew Lau of Rodandac overcame significant physical and mental challenges to improve his personal fitness. He also developed a training philosophy called ‘Mind Over Matter’ to assist others in their pursuit of health and wellness.
Rodandac is one of the first mobile personal training and fitness franchise companies in Singapore.
SINGAPORE, 28 Aug – Andrew Lau, Founder of Rodandac, is emerging as a visionary leader in the fitness industry by pioneering a sustainable approach to personal training that emphasizes the importance of mastering one’s mindset.
A recent study has revealed a surprising statistic:
only eight percent of individuals achieve their New Year’s fitness goals, often facing unseen mental barriers along the way. Andrew Lau’s journey reflects this common struggle, but his distinctive approach to overcoming these challenges sets him apart.
Emerging Stronger from Life's Trials
At the age of 16, Andrew began his fitness journey, motivated by a desire for personal transformation. However, over a decade later, he faced unforeseen challenges when he was diagnosed with gout, a condition that could have derailed his dreams. Instead of giving in to adversity, Andrew turned his struggles into a source of empathy and understanding. This experience ignited his unwavering commitment to help others overcome their own obstacles.
Despite maintaining my health, diet, and mental well-being for the past 25 years, I couldn’t pinpoint the underlying cause.
My journey with gout was a turning point, teaching me that the power of the mind can overcome formidable physical challenges. I wanted to share the feelings that I felt at that moment with others.
Founder, Rodandac
The turning point came for Andrew during his intense preparation for the 2016 Fitness Manhunt competition when he faced a severe gout flare-up and a sprained wrist, both of which threatened to derail his journey. Instead of giving up, he embraced his vulnerability and confronted the challenges head-on. He emerged stronger than ever, driven by a singular mission: to empower lives through the transformative concept of ‘Mind over Matter’ fitness.
The Impact of 'Mind Over Matter' in Personal Transformation
From these transformative experiences, Rodandac was created to challenge industry norms by reshaping the traditional concept of fitness with an emphasis on mental resilience and holistic well-being. It aims to redefine growth and empowerment while questioning superficial industry trends. Rodandac’s vision is to inspire individuals to transcend their limits, cultivate resilience, and achieve lasting change.
“This vision is also backed by experts who concur that incorporating mental fitness into physical training can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being,” added Lau.
The dedication to each client’s personal triumphs has created a tapestry of impactful success stories. Andrew’s mantra, “Do It Anyway,” emboldens clients to embark on transformative journeys, transcending boundaries and unlocking their untapped potential. From empowering a Vice President in finding inner calm and confidence to supporting a determined feminist navigating a male-dominated workspace, Andrew’s guidance unlocks a world of possibilities and fosters unparalleled growth.
“Being introduced to Rodandac 3 years ago is a life-changing experience. The approach has not only improved my physical health but also greatly enhanced my mental resilience. Their infectious enthusiasm and personalised training sessions have helped me make remarkable progress,” shared Richard Hennessy.
“It is important for me that they understand my needs and provide targeted and effective training. Under their guidance, I’ve achieved growth, which was an uphill task given my heart condition,” added Yong Sin Lee, who has also been a committed client of Rodandac for a year.
The future of Rodandac aims to create an ecosystem where skilled trainers customize their guidance to meet individual needs, significantly impacting clients’ lives both mentally and physically.

Self-made entrepreneur Marzen Salazar remembers the many moments when she would catch her grandmother in front of the mirror, filling in her eyebrows faded over time.
Humans are said to be capable of nearly 10,000 facial expressions. The slightest twitch of a facial muscle, the direction of the eye, and the movement of eyebrows all mean a plethora of emotions – the non-verbal cues that make up the unspoken daily chatter.
Yet as one grows old, it becomes more difficult to do so; the muscles loosen, but most significantly, the eyebrows thin along with the lashes.
“My grandmother always draws about her eyebrows. She would try it but (I) would never be satisfied,” remembers Marzen. “When I was growing up in the ‘90s, eyebrow tattooing was a popular solution to the fading of the brow for the elderly and people with thin strokes – but even tattoos have their limits.”
Today, as Marzen recalls her time growing up in Laguna with her lola, Marzen is gradually and decisively building her own business to provide a better solution for eyebrows, lashes, and other facial care woes.
In 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic, Marzen boldly launched Miss Derm – a clinic specializing in eyebrows, lashes, and facial treatment services, including microblading.
A relatively new technology for Filipinos, microblading uses small needles to create soft and subtle hair-like strokes and deposit pigment on the skin. It is a form of cosmetic tattooing but, unlike the traditional tattoo that embeds pigment deep into the skin, microblading only injects pigment superficially on the body and thus is only semi-permanent.
At Miss Derm, microblading is only done by certified microblading artists. Artists undergo intensive training to provide the highest level of quality and care for customers.
More than just a business
From one clinic in Makati, Marzen expanded Miss Derm to two more locations: Las Pinas and Quezon City – one additional business address each year. Despite travel restrictions, Miss Derm’s number of patrons has grown through word of mouth, attracted by the quality of premium services to help customers with their facial care needs.
“I’ve always been motivated by the fact that the services we do at Miss Derm directly affect our customers’ disposition. If eyes are the windows to the soul, eyebrows, and lashes are the frames that help define what you want to express and how you want to be seen. We want to help our customers increase their confidence and wear a brighter face every day,” says Marzen, a former wedding photographer-turned-communications manager in Oman.
Aside from its popular Elite Brows/Lips Package, Miss Derm offers a wide range of microblading, microshading, eyeliner, and blading solutions. Customers will also find a menu of no-needle procedures, including Brow Lamination, Lash Lift, Lash Extensions, and HIFU Skin Tightening for the face, neck, and body.
Miss Derm’s complete facial care and skincare solutions prove to be perfect for customers who desire convenience and a highly personalized level of care. At Miss Derm, artists converse with customers about their needs and suggest ways to achieve how they want to look.
This level of service and hospitality is the product of Marzen’s entrepreneurial instincts, of putting customers at the heart of the process, and ensuring that employees are taken care of.
Despite Marzen’s location in Oman, she has overseen the growth and initial success of Miss Derm with flying colors remotely, flying to Manila to visit the clinics when needed, but talking directly with her clients daily. “When customers chat with our social media channels for feedback or bookings, they’re likely talking to me. I always had a passion for talking with customers, especially women. As a wedding photographer in Laguna and Oman, I deal with women regularly. One should listen and be attentive; they know what they want. When you delight them with great service and you build a positive working relationship, they will come back for more and they will treat you like family,” says Marzen.
Miss Derm is located in Makati (9/f Centuria Medical Makati), Las Pinas (304 Aurora Bldg, Zapote-Alabang Road), and Quezon City (20 Shorthorn Street). To stay updated about Miss Derm, follow https://www.instagram.com/missderm/
