Baking Soda is Good
-
Experiencing pleasant effects from 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in water before bed. Waking up is easier and coffee doesn't irritate my gut as much. Thanks @anabology and @robertlasagna1 for recommending.

@Warren I have been experimenting with a similar ammount dissolved in some sparkling water as pre workout for the past few weeks,it has made me feel stronger and energetic.

Is baking soda wise to take for someone who deals with low stomach acid?
-
Had a little less than 1/2 tsp in some water a couple of nights ago. It didn't put me to sleep but it was one of the better and more restful sleeps i've had recently, and yes i woke up gently/easy. I do wonder if there's any connection.
Have also been using baking soda in other ways for quite a while, just a bit in my coffees and juices, etc.

Not to take during digestion. Ok at day light, 2 hours before breakfast. Breakfast with fruits and fats.
Betain HCL is required to optimize digestion of proteins. once a day.For the other readers:
Are you aware of this effect?
2 gr bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) has an impact on cytokines and polarization of lymphocytes T.
=> Repolarization of Macrophages M1 <> M2 (Bicarbonate makes it possible to repolarize the cells).
Vocabulary: depolarization of cells.
The cells are excited. They need reframing. Balance to seek between excitement and appeasement.
Conclusion: OK. Positive effect. But not too long because too much of a good thing is bad. See Béchamp to understand why or this link (in French):

This article addresses the following points:
• What does the repolarization of cells involve
• Potassium functions in the cell
• Bicarbonate makes it possible to repolarize the cells
• Defection of regulatory T cells in autoimmunity
The bicarbonate restores the normal TREG function so that these cells can do their job(s) and temper the auto-reactive T cells.
• Underlying mechanism: bicarbonate induces a response from the mesothelial cells of the spleen, an organ which plays a role in the immunity and the renewal of blood cells.
• TH1 <> TH2: Understanding cells (lymphocytes)Contraindications to prolong a pH beyond 8.5
Note: I make a cure with bicarbonate twice a year or every 3-4 months during 12-15 days.

Thanks. I translated using Google Translate.
It uses the debunked language of sodium-calcium pumps, instead of the inductive field hypothesis of Gilbert Ling. Which h is unfortunate, as it is a word salad of circular logic.
I can explain it better, I think, by going back to using pH, which it attempts to remove from its (baking soda's) mechanism of action.
Simply put, baking soda restores the pH buffering action of carbon dioxide, and brings about the acid base balance.
With acid base balance restored, where the cell is more acidic, and the ecf is more alkaline, in the right relative sense, potassium ions in the cell boundary layer is retained, to provide structure (via structured water) and integrity, to do an effective job of regulating the entry of extracellular calcium into the cell. Upon which the calcium ion gradient between the cell and the ecf is maintained that allows for the homeostasis depolarization and repolarization cycle needed in muscle contraction and relaxation.
When the ecf is very acidic, potassium ions in the cellular interface are released to the ecf (mainly blood plasma) and hydrogen ions (hydronium) are exchanged with it - an adaptation to make ecf more alkaline (and the cell more acidic).
When this adaptation occurs, cell boundary layer loses its its barrier property in its structure, allowing more calcium to enter the cell than is optimal. The calcium gradient is diminished, and this degrades the muscles ability to contract and relax efficiently.
This is why the heart rate increases to tachycardia levels, because the heart is a muscle, and as it becomes more inefficient as a pump, has to pump more as the heart rate increases.
This is why when the blood potassium increases, our esteemed doctors will say too much serum potassium causes tachycardia. And would advise not to take anything rich in potassium for food. But this utter nonsense. Because the right thing to do is really to restore the acid base balance.

I've been developing the reason why bicarbonate dampens inflammation and why CO2 make it easier for the organism to recover.

Thanks for sharing.
I actually look at the opposing actions of M1 and M2 macrophages with a grain of salt. The use of M1 and M2 macrophages to explain away the harm in using PUFAs by the notion of omega-6 being contributory to the M1 inflammatory response, and omega-3 being conducive to an anti-inflammatory response, thus bringing about a healthy balancing of the immune response- is downright mendacity by medical researchers.
Thanks to Ray Peat we don't buy that medical narrative. I hope tou understand how much I question their once again. using M1 and M2 to explain the benefits of baking soda in treating the inflammatory response involved in arthritis.
Add: Pre-Peat I took omega-3 to balance inflammatory effects of omega-6, which together formed the heart healthy core of the AHA, which was very influential in causing their factotum CSPI to lead a heart-healthy crusade against beef tallow as used then by McDonald's to deepfry French fries.
Back then, Udo Erasmus was very popular with his book "Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill." That book led in establishing the mainstream discourse that PUFAd are good because of the anti and pro-inflammatory tandem duality or omega 3 together with omega 6.
