Intervention

Dietary Supplement:
• Hydrogen-rich water
Patients drink 600mL hydrogen-rich water per day by applying hydrogen-rich water cup (Qingdao Haizhisheng Corp.,LTD, Qingdao, China) for 12 weeks. The dissolved hydrogen concentration is 5 ppm.
• placebo
Patients drink 600mL tap water per day by applying analogue cup for 12 weeks. This cup has the same appearance as the hydrogen-rich water cup, and the hydrogen-rich water and placebo water were indistinguishable. The dissolved hydrogen concentration is 0 ppm in placebo water.
