 Baking soda is so much more than just a cake-raisig ingredient.  It’s well known for being an effective natural remedy to many health problems. 
Drinking Baking soda and water, this concoction has multiple health benefits I have listed below for us.   
 
 Baking soda is an antiseptic, it helps clean out the urinary tract system among so many other health benefits I will list below here.  Drinking baking soda water helps clean out every part of our system from blood to urinary tract – top to bottom
 

 Balances pH

Baking soda’s remedial properties come from its alkaline nature. Due to diet, environment, and other factors, certain parts of the body can develop a pH imbalance. Consuming baking soda will help restore the natural pH where it is needed.

Treats acid reflux

Baking soda’s alkaline nature means that it acts as an antacid and neutralizes stomach acid. As you will know if you suffer from acid reflux, antacids are a common remedy to use for treating the condition.   


Drinking a glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of baking soda should be just as good when it comes to reducing your pain and other symptoms.
 

Soothes heartburn

Since heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux, it makes sense that baking soda can help soothe this too. Heartburn can happen for multiple reasons, not just acid reflux, and is caused by stomach acid moving up into the esophagusDue to baking soda’s ability to neutralize acid, drinking baking soda relieves pain associated with heartburn.

 Reduces inflammation

Many cases of inflammation are caused by a pH imbalance, which results in an acidic environment. Baking soda’s alkaline nature comes to the rescue once again for treating this problem. Drinking baking soda water may help to reduce inflammation.

Eases ulcer pain

Ulcer pain is caused by increased production of stomach acids. While baking soda can’t cure your ulcer, it can reduce the pain you may experience alongside it

As ulcer pain is caused by the acidity of stomach acids, neutralizing the acid by drinking baking soda water should relieve the ulcer pain.

Helps treat cancer

Cancerous tumours tend to be acidic in nature. The pH balancing properties of baking soda increases the pH level of these tumours without affecting healthy tissue and blood. Without the acidic environment, cancer is less able to survive in the body. The balanced pH also gives nutritional and immune system support for those suffering from cancer.

Cancer cells love an acidic body,  along with low level of oxygen as cancer cells die in high oxygenated body

and cancer cells feed on sugar and love sugar, good reason to give up sugar especially during these  Holiday dinners and celebration times – next comes Christmas, New Years, Valentines day and then Easter. Baking soda keeps the body alkaline which cancer cells hate.   

Dr Simon Chini, Oncologist from Rome, has made the connection between fungal infection and cancer proliferation.   He has written several reports on flushing tumors with Baking soda (Antifungal) and these tumors shrank  and completely disappeared within weeks to a couple months.        

 Teeth and Tongue

Baking soda is a common ingredient in toothpaste thanks to its ability to remove plaque. Making a solution or paste by adding water to your baking soda can be good for dental health, gum health, do not forget to brush your tongue as there are crevices on the tongue that hold bacteria and baking soda is a good cleaner for our tongue also.

People experience fatigue and soreness in their muscles after working out because of the production of something called lactic acid. Baking soda can absorb this excess acid, reducing fatigue and soreness after a particularly diffic

Improves kidney function

When kidneys aren’t working at their optimal level, it can be hard for them to remove acidic waste from the body. Experts think that baking soda can buffer acid and balance pH levels, so it can help the kidneys remove unwanted acids in the body.

Prevents gout

Gout is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which crystallizes and can’t be flushed out of the system. Baking soda’s alkaline nature brings blood pH back up, which allows the blood to hold more uric acid without it crystallizing

 the formation of arthritis entirely.

 

21. Prevents kidney stones

Kidney stones are formed by an ionic imbalance in the body, which causes urine to become too acid. This acid can eventually crystallize into kidney stones. Baking soda helps balance out both the pH and the ions, leading to less crystallization and more waste exiting the body.
