Hello, I’m Jun, running all over the country as a sales representative in the health industry! Regarding the previous story on “Feline Chronic Kidney Disease,” I received many earnest thoughts from cat lovers. I have firmly taken to heart your passion for protecting the health of your precious family members.
Now, for the 4th installment of the series, I’ll change the perspective slightly and shine a spotlight on the strongest athletes in the animal kingdom: “Racehorses.” Actually, the power of hydrogen is garnering significant attention in the world of horse racing, and research is progressing not only in Japan but also in stables across Europe. I, Jun the salesman, will passionately explain the surprising relationship between these creatures, who run while swaying their nearly 1-ton bodies, and hydrogen!
1.The Fate of the Horse: An Athlete Pushing to the Limit
Racehorses gallop at speeds exceeding 60 km/h. Their workload is immense, and in a single race or intense training session, explosive energy metabolism takes place within their bodies.
The problem here is the vast amount of “bad reactive oxygen species” and “lactate” generated during the metabolic process. If these accumulate in the muscles, it not only makes it difficult for fatigue to subside but also causes muscle pain and inflammation, which in the worst cases can lead to breakdowns (injuries). For a racehorse worth hundreds of millions of yen, “how to recover quickly” is a life-or-death issue that determines victory or defeat.
2.Hydrogen Changes the Numbers for “Lactate” and “Oxidative Stress”
Latest research has begun to show that by administering hydrogen before and after intense exercise, the rise in blood lactate levels can be suppressed, and the level of “CK (Creatine Kinase),” an indicator of muscle inflammation, can be kept low.
As explained in Vol. 1, hydrogen enters smoothly into the interior of mitochondria. By protecting mitochondria—the energy factories—from oxidative stress, energy production efficiency increases, and as a result, the accumulation of fatigue substances can be suppressed.
H2 +2OH→2H2O
Doesn’t it make your heart swell to think that this simple reaction is taking place in each and every one of a horse’s powerful muscle cells?
3.”Hydrogen Inhalation” and “Hydrogen Water Feeding” Spreading in the Field
In the health industry sites I am involved with, the introduction of specialized hydrogen inhalers for horses and large-scale equipment that generates massive amounts of hydrogen water is progressing.
＊ Hydrogen Inhalation: By having horses in an excited state immediately after a race inhale hydrogen, it balances the autonomic nervous system and quickly leads them to a relaxed state.
＊ Feeding Hydrogen Water: By changing daily drinking water to hydrogen water, the intestinal environment is improved while the systemic antioxidant capacity is enhanced.
Horses are extremely sensitive and will not drink if the water has even a slight strange smell. However, since tasteless and odorless hydrogen water improves the “quality of the water” itself, even delicate prize horses are happy to drink it. This has become a major strength in the sales field.
4.Reducing Breakdowns and Prolonging Active Careers
A horse’s athletic life depends on the health of its legs. When minor inflammation caused by oxidative stress accumulates, it leads to tendon and joint troubles.
Since hydrogen is also excellent in its “anti-inflammatory action,” feedback has arrived from stables incorporating hydrogen into daily care, saying things like, “Swelling in the horse’s legs subsides more easily,” or “Return from injury has become faster.” This is not just about performance improvement; it might be called the ultimate “safety device” for ensuring horses cross the finish line safely even one more time.
5.”Athlete Hydrogen” Leading to Human Application
The research results from these horses are actually very beneficial data for us humans as well (especially those who play sports). If such an effect appears in a horse weighing nearly 1 ton, there is no way it won’t be useful for human recovery.
“I don’t want to leave fatigue for tomorrow’s work,” or “I want to put out my best performance in weekend sports.” For those of us with such thoughts, the recovery strategy of horses serves as the best model.
Jun’s Note
If you are a horse racing fan, you probably know that the passion of the people involved with a single horse is immense. To respond to that passion, a scientific approach called hydrogen has been chosen. As a salesman, I am convinced that this is evidence that hydrogen is not a “placebo” but the “real deal,” recognized in the world of severe competition.
How was Vol. 4, the passionate relationship between racehorses and hydrogen? Whether it’s a big horse or a small cat, what’s happening at the cellular level is the same. Now, for the next installment (Vol. 5), we will leap into an even more surprising field! The theme is “Paradigm Shift in Livestock Sites.” I will bring you news about the amazing potential of hydrogen to save not only the health of cows but even the “global environment.”
