Study Summary

To test the effect of ASEA consumption on 24-hour resting energy expenditure. Hypothesis: consumption of 8-oz of ASEA water (4-oz before breakfast and 4-oz before bedtime) will significantly elevate 24-h resting energy expenditure as compared to consumption of a placebo control (salt water, same dietary intake).

Primary Outcome

Changes in 24-h resting energy expenditure and respiratory quotient (RQ) in response to ASEA or control salt water to be measured by indirect calorimetry in the room indirect calorimeter at the UNC Nutrition Research Institute.
