Soda water has strong alkalinity, which can make urine alkaline in the kidney, which is beneficial for the kidney to excrete uric acid. However, acid-base neutralization reaction does not occur in the blood, so soda water cannot change the acidic constitution. Its real value is to alkalize urine and promote uric acid excretion. Apart from gout, soda water cannot prevent and treat other diseases.
Soda water labeled with various trace elements can not effectively supplement trace elements. Various additives and carbon dioxide can only improve the taste.
Soda water, which has a healthy effect on human body, mainly refers to water containing "baking soda", that is, sodium bicarbonate. In addition to gout patients, people with excessive gastric acid secretion can also drink more to neutralize gastric acid. However, people with low gastric acid secretion should not drink a lot of soda water, otherwise it will aggravate the lack of gastric acid. Patients with hypertension had better not drink soda water, because soda water contains more sodium, and reducing sodium intake is an important measure to treat hypertension. Healthy people should also not drink soda water in large quantities for a long time, otherwise it will easily lead to excessive sodium in the diet.
