Baking Soda for Stomach Acid Balance
-
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) helps neutralize excess stomach acid and supports proper digestion. Taking 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in water before meals can alleviate acid reflux and improve digestion. It’s particularly useful for individuals with low stomach acid, as it helps balance pH levels. Studies show that baking soda improved symptoms of indigestion by 30% in people with acid imbalances.
