At present, soda water on the market can be divided into three types: only sodium bicarbonate, only carbon dioxide, both carbon dioxide and sodium bicarbonate, and also into natural and artificial ones. As long as it contains sodium bicarbonate and nutrients, it has certain drinking value, especially for patients with gout or hyperuricemia who often drink sodium bicarbonate soda water, which can play a role in alkalizing urine and preventing uric acid from crystallizing.
When buying soda, we should pay attention to the fact that soda is not the same as soda or sparkling water. If you are not careful, you may drink it wrong.
Natural soda water is sugar-free, calorie-free and alkaline; Soda drinks are made by adding sodium bicarbonate, potassium oxide and acesulfame K. Soda water containing sodium bicarbonate has no bubbles, and only those containing carbon dioxide have bubbles. Soda soda contains essence, sugar and other substances, which has a high calorie. The General Principles of Beverages holds that it is not soda water but a drink. Drinking this soda for a long time will cause obesity and be harmful to health.
Therefore, when buying soda water every day, we must read the ingredient list (containing sodium bicarbonate and certain nutrients) to understand its acidity and alkalinity, and don't be confused by some bubbly water and drink it by mistake. In addition, some consumers are worried that the sodium content in soda water is high, and drinking it often is harmful to human body. However, as long as it is not labeled as salty soda water, the sodium content is within the safe range, which is far worse than carbonated drinks such as cola, so there is no need to worry about the problem of excessive sodium.
I strongly recommend that you drink soda water every day, especially natural soda water, which is of great benefit to human body. Soda water with sodium bicarbonate can regulate the acid-base balance of human body, relieve the symptoms of acid reflux to some extent, and can play an auxiliary role in treating symptoms such as gastric acid and gout.
Natural soda water also contains a certain amount of trace elements. Long-term drinking can supplement the nutrients needed by human body, which is beneficial to human health. Because it can regulate gastric acid, it will also play a certain role in nourishing the stomach, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digestion and relieve constipation.
Although soda water has high drinking value, it is not a medicine after all, so it can only play the role of adjuvant therapy. If you get sick, you'd better go to a regular hospital for treatment, and don't blindly believe in the medical efficacy of soda water.
