People who lose weight by high-intensity diet or ketogenic diet may accumulate too many ketone bodies in their bodies. In order to prevent acidosis, they can often drink soda water to correct it. Eating foods with high purine content, such as seafood or animal offal, is suitable for mixing with soda water to promote purine metabolism. Many people like to drink when eating seafood or animal offal, especially white wine or beer. In fact, alcohol and guanylic acid in beer are very unfavorable to purine metabolism. After ingesting sodium hydroxide, there is indeed some effect of "alkalizing urine", but this effect is very small (too little sodium hydroxide). Compared with the clinical dose, the effect of soda water is not even an "auxiliary effect"
Sodium bicarbonate is often called an antacid, which means that it can neutralize acids, especially in the stomach. Gastric acid reflux disease, usually called heartburn, has many reasons. Stomach acid overflows from the stomach to the esophagus, sometimes as far as the back of the throat. Mixing drinking water with baking soda helps to neutralize gastric acid and eliminate heartburn. Its main function is to alkalize urine and promote uric acid excretion in the body. In addition, soda water does not have the function of treating and preventing diseases. Soda water tastes better because of adding various additives and carbon dioxide.
Usually, we should also pay attention to eating light, warm and digestible food, eating some fresh fruits and vegetables in moderation, supplementing vitamins, doing outdoor activities in moderation every day, exercising, enhancing physical fitness and improving immunity.
