What I Couldn’t Fully Cover in the Column

In Episode 14 of the newspaper column, I discussed how hydrogen may relate to immune health.
In this blog, I would like to return to the basics—what immunity really means—and explore why supporting balance, rather than simply “boosting” immunity, is such an important perspective in daily life.

Immunity Is Not Only About “Fighting”

When we hear the word immunity, we often imagine the body fighting bacteria or viruses.
However, immunity is not only about attacking threats.

The immune system is also responsible for:

• Recognizing what should be responded to
• Regulating reactions appropriately
• Maintaining internal balance

Because of this, immunity works best not when it is “strong,” but when it is well-balanced and responsive.

The Relationship Between Immunity and Oxidative Stress

In our daily lives, reactive oxygen species are constantly produced in the body.
While they play certain roles, excessive oxidative stress may place a burden on the body.

Prolonged oxidative stress is thought to make it more difficult for immune cells to function smoothly.
Hydrogen has been studied in relation to oxidative stress, and from this perspective, it is often described as a gentle support for maintaining a healthier internal environment.

Supporting the Environment Where Immunity Can Function

Hydrogen is not a medicine that directly increases immunity.
Rather, it may help by:

• Reducing everyday physical tension
• Supporting the body’s response to oxidative stress
• Creating conditions where fatigue is less likely to accumulate

Through these effects, hydrogen may help support an environment where the immune system can function more comfortably.

Conclusion (14-1)

Immunity is not something to force or aggressively strengthen.
It is something we gently maintain and balance through daily habits.

Hydrogen may be one option that fits naturally into everyday life,
supporting both physical and mental balance without strain.
