Baking soda is an active substance that benefits both the body and the home.
Internally: Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a truly alkaline substance. It neutralizes hydrogen ions, which are produced in anaerobic sports performances, when energy is produced without oxygen from carbohydrates. Baking soda reduces acidification of the body, which in turn can help athletes perform better. Acidification of the body is one factor that leads to fatigue through many mechanisms. It interferes with energy metabolism and the functioning of the muscular nervous system.
Start using small amounts and gradually increase over time. This way you avoid possible accumulation of air in the stomach.
For cleaning: Baking soda is an excellent substitute for most chemical cleaning agents. You can use it to clean almost any surface in your home. It removes odors from sneakers and freshens, for example, mattress pads. Sprinkle, let it work and vacuum.
For cooking: In the kitchen, it replaces baking powder and yeast and softens meat.
