Every Woman Should Know These 11 Tricks With Baking Soda.
When it comes to their looks, many women give special attention to the products they put on their skin, body, and hair. Unfortunately, a lot of commercial products contain chemicals that do more harm than good. But there are always more natural ways to keep your body healthy. Take baking soda, for example; it has hidden health benefits when used on its own.
Most of you probably have a box of baking soda in your house. Its main functions are to make baked goods rise, remove acid-induced odors, and it can be used as a cleaning agent to scrub just about anything.
Now, here are 11 of the top health benefits of baking soda that every woman should take notice of! #Number 8 Is Our Favorite!
1 – Treat Kidney Disease:
According to Dr. Julian Whitaker, it is an alkaline substance that is created by the body which buffers acids and aids to keep our pH levels in control. Whitaker adds that people who experience kidney disease have a difficult time removing acid from their bodies. But recent research conducted by British researchers shows that sodium bicarbonate actually reduced the rate of kidney decline by two-thirds.
2 – Cure Occasional Heartburn & Indigestion:
Over the counter medication such as Alka-Seltzer, Tums, and Rolaids contain some form of bicarbonate. So Whitaker states that if those medications have success in relieving indigestion and heartburn, then taking natural baking soda would work even more efficiently.
He suggests stirring half a teaspoon of baking soda into half a cup of water and drink it an hour after eating a meal.
3 – Oral Hygiene:
Whitaker explains that brushing your teeth by simply dipping your toothbrush in baking soda may not be the best idea. With its abrasive qualities, it would wear down the protective enamel over time. He suggests sticking with the commercial products that contain baking soda in their toothpaste.
4 – Mouthwash:
I’ve already mentioned what baking soda can do when it’s on a toothbrush, but I haven’t said what it could do as a mouthwash.
Healthline states that baking soda can reach corners and crevices of your teeth, tongue, and gums that can be missed when brushing your teeth.
The easiest way to utilize baking soda as a mouthwash is to mix half a teaspoon with half a glass of warm water.
