Baking soda is a white fine crystal, and its solubility in water is less than that of sodium carbonate. Baking soda is an acid salt produced by neutralization of strong alkali and weak acid, which is weakly alkaline when dissolved in water. This characteristic can make it a leavening agent in food production. Baking soda has the effects of relieving acid reflux, regulating uric acid and deodorizing.
1, Relieve acid regurgitation: Gastric acid can promote digestion, but hyperacidity will damage gastrointestinal mucosa, while baking soda is alkaline, which can neutralize gastric acid to protect gastric mucosa and help relieve acid regurgitation symptoms.
2. Regulating uric acid: The purine in patients with hyperuricemia can't be excreted, while sodium bicarbonate supplementation can alkalize urine and promote renal excretion, which can indirectly help regulate uric acid level.
3. Deodorization: Many foods are rotten or the odor generated by feces comes from acidic substances. Baking soda powder can absorb free acids in the air and help improve the odor in the environment.
