Does baking soda alkalize our body?

Everyone knows that soda alkalizes our body. But I think that many do not know how to actually use it. I would like to clarify.

If you mix soda with water and drink it, I can say that such use will not have any effect. It will not alkalize your body in any way.

Chemical reaction of water with soda and gastric juice

As you probably know, gastric juice is a strong acid, and soda is an alkali. So, as a result of mixing acid with alkali, a chemical neutralization reaction occurs, at the output we get salt and carbon dioxide.

Thus, when we drink water with soda, thinking that we are alkalizing the body, in fact we get a different effect, this is not an alkalizing effect. And if you take soda for a long period of time, then you create problems in your body. That is, as a result of a violation of the sodium-potassium balance, we will get hypertension, since the extracellular fluid will be greater than the intracellular fluid. This is the reason why you can not use soda in this way.

How to alkalize the body with baking soda?

I can recommend taking a bath with soda water. How it's done? You take 500 grams of soda and mix with the water in the tub by about 200 liters. The water temperature should be 37-38 ° C. You take a bath for about 20 minutes. This procedure will give a really good effect. It actually helps in alkalizing the body.

So, instead of drinking water with soda, you can take a bath with soda. It will be more reasonable.

Another way of using sodium bicarbonate is intravenous, but it is risky. Because in this way we also violate the sodium-potassium balance, which is very dangerous. If you find a good doctor who knows how to properly carry out this procedure, you can do it, it will alkalize your body.

But, I repeat, drinking water with soda is bad. As a result, you will receive only hypersecretion of gastric juice, against which there will be hypertension.

I recommend that you take a soda bath. It is very useful for health.
