The main ingredient of soda water is edible baking soda, which is sodium bicarbonate. Some sodas sold in the market usually add some white sugar to adjust the taste, so drinking too much a day is not good for human health.
Therefore, for the general population, it is recommended to drink 1-2 bottles a day, preferably no more than 2 bottles, but for some people with excessive gastric acid secretion, they can also drink more according to their own specific conditions.
Soda water is a carbonated drink.
The real natural soda water actually refers to the mixture of sodium bicarbonate and water, which belongs to alkaline water, and its pH value is generally around 7.5, so it is not a carbonated drink.
However, some soft drinks sold in the market now are made by pressing carbon dioxide into pure drinking water and adding certain sweeteners and spices, and their pH value is generally less than 7, which belongs to carbonated drinks.
Can soda water be used to take medicine? Taking medicine is not recommended.
Soda water is an alkaline solution. If taken together with drugs, it may affect the pH value of the drug itself, thus affecting the therapeutic effect of the drug on the human body, and may also cause chemical reactions of the drug.
In addition, after soda water enters the body, it is easy to cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms. It is not recommended to take medicine with soda water. Generally, boiled water is enough, and it is best to drink soda water more than 2 hours after taking the medicine.
Is drinking soda useful for high uric acid? It has a certain effect.
For people with high uric acid, their urine is generally acidic. At this time, urine is easy to form crystals and deposit in the urethra, while soda water is alkaline, which can alkalize urine and avoid causing great harm to the urinary system. Therefore, for some people with high uric acid, it is appropriate to drink soda water in daily life.
Soda water does not reduce uric acid, so people with high uric acid usually need to take medicine under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
