The Powers of Baking Soda

Posted under Thoughts by Mark on Tuesday 29 December 2009 at 2:33 am

So wow, I get heartburn all the time. Usually it strikes me when I’m sitting up late at night watching infomercials because I can’t sleep. Unfortunately this happens way too often. Well, it’s never fun and I have heard of this remedy from people over the years but I always just hated the idea of drinking baking soda and water to cure the burn. Well tonight I was having a particularly bad episode and so I decided to give it a try. Only this time, I used a 500 mL bottle of grape flavored Propel fitness water with 5/8 tsp. of baking soda. I shook it up and poured it into a cup for easy chugging. Well I didn’t need the chugging. I took one drink and almost instantly the burn was completely gone. I took another full gulp for safety sake and instantly my stomach acid was neutralized. It was amazing and with the grape Propel, it didn’t even taste all that bad. I am amazed. Screw all the over the counter products I’ve tried, like tums and rolaids and zantac and pepcid. This was almost instant. From now on, its flavored water and baking soda.

Recipe:

500 mL of flavored liquid
1/2 – 2/3 tsp. baking soda
Mix well and drink.

Good Stuff.
