Soda, unlike cola and other carbonated beverages, is made by dissolving sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in water, and is colorless, tasteless, and a little bit of gas. Although it also belongs to carbonated drinks, it is weakly alkaline, closer to the pH value of blood. Modern people live in good conditions, often eat meat, seafood and other acidic food, easy to cause obesity, gout and other problems more often. Gout caused by gouty arthritis, often accompanied by swelling and pain in the joints of the toes and ankles bring pain to many patients. And more and more often seen in the age of obese people. Some people believe that drinking soda may cause calcium loss, causing osteoporosis; loose teeth, triggering dental caries. These are mainly caused by the phosphoric acid in some carbonated drinks. In fact, the soda we are discussing contains no additives other than water and baking soda, and is therefore a weakly alkaline liquid in itself. Studies have shown that it does not cause harm to bones and teeth. Does soda damage the stomach? A foreign study found that for a follow-up of two weeks of drinking soda water respondents than those who do not drink, reduced indigestion symptoms, constipation symptoms have also improved. Drinking soda with meals does not dilute stomach acid or affect food digestion. Therefore, drinking soda does not cause stomach damage, but on the contrary helps the gastrointestinal tract. Drinking a bit of soda regularly helps alkalize the blood, promotes blood uric acid metabolism, neutralizes excess stomach acid, and helps relieve indigestion. Sugar-free sodas are lower in energy, and drinking them before or during meals on a regular basis can help control appetite and aid in weight loss. Maintaining a weakly alkaline blood pH environment helps the optimal activity of biological enzymes in the body, strengthens immunity, prevents abnormal cell growth, and slows down aging. Lastly, a reminder: it is not recommended to drink more acidic carbonated beverages of the cola type, or sodas that contain a lot of additives. Alkaline soda containing only sodium bicarbonate and water is recommended.
