3 Ways to Drink Baking Soda for Better Health
Many of you may have been using baking soda around your home for years without ever even knowing what it is. We did a little digging to uncover the mystery.
It turns out that sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a chemical salt that, in its natural form, is the mineral nahcolite. Baking soda can react as both an acid and a base, although in an aqueous solution it is a bit on the alkaline side.
Pure nahcolite is found in abundance in the Green River Basin, which cuts through several states in the central part of our country.
Sodium bicarbonate helps to regulate pH and keep it steady – a process known as buffering. It keeps substances from being too acidic or too alkaline. Its ability to neutralize the pH of any substance it comes in contact with makes it highly effective for so many things.
Now, you may know about all the amazing ways you can use baking soda around your home such as:
- Cleaning coffee makers
- Cleaning drains
- Ridding hair of buildup
- Polishing silver
- Septic care
- Making toothpaste
- Making deodorant
- Cleaning brushes and combs
- Refreshing your fridge
- Easing itching and swelling
- Putting out a grease fire
- Breaking down ice on a sidewalk or driveway
