In this video I want to share with you how taking baking soda can have a huge impact on several factors of your overall health.
Most people think of baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, as something you cook with or maybe something your grandmother kept in her refrigerator.
As it turns out, baking soda has several other benefits besides just helping you create delicious baked goods!
1. Use baking soda to help heartburn / acid reflux
Acid reflux is pretty much what it sounds like. The acid that is in your stomach makes it way to up your esophagus and causes a burning sensation. There are several different things that can cause heartburn, but I want to focus on how baking soda can help in the moment if you are currently experiencing acid reflux. Baking soda can temporarily help neutralize the acid (make it less acidic) and eliminate the burning sensation you get from acid reflux.
2. Anti-inflammatory
A daily dose of baking soda has been shown to help reduce inflammation. They have some of the first evidence of how the cheap, over-the-counter antacid can encourage our spleen to promote instead an anti-inflammatory environment that could be therapeutic in the face of inflammatory disease, scientists report.
They have shown that when healthy people drink a solution of baking soda it becomes a trigger for the stomach to make more acid to digest the next meal and for cells that sit on the spleen to tell the spleen that there’s no need to create any type of immune response.
This has even been shown to be beneficial to auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
Before I get into the final one, I want to know have you used baking soda before? If so, what reasons did you use it? Let me know in the comments below.
3. Increase exercise performance
Who doesn’t want to easily increase your exercise performance? The biggest benefits have been shown in peak performance in higher intensity exercise. During high-intensity exercise, we create lactic acid. Lactic acid can promote muscle fatigue. Baking soda can help cancel out the excess lactic acid being produced, which will in turn help improve your overall performance.
4. May help against cancer
Cancer cells pump out massive amounts of lactic acid. This promotes a highly acidic environment. The baking soda can help neutralize the acidic environment in the same way it does for high-intensity exercise.
