Dear Daughters,

There are many recommendations and practices for detoxing and losing weight on the web. All of them intend the best results and show positive reviews.

Exercising is the most popular strategy to shed weight and detoxify the body. However, Detox diets are also prevalent, and is gaining some major traction over daily exercise alone.

It is a proven fact that most poisons are hiding in the fatty tissues of the body. You can minimize the amount of toxins in your body by decreasing weight.

Detox diets are mainly short-term nutritional therapies that aim to rid your body of toxins. A traditional detox diet includes a fasting period, followed by a rigorous diet of fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water.  Now colon cleanses or enemas are a significant part of detox.

Well, one of these is baking soda. This household staple not only helps remove tough stains, eliminate unpleasant odors, and clean challenging places. But is widely used for heartburn, mouthwash, soothe canker sores, and deodorant. Yes, it’s true – believed to have a direct effect on weight loss. So, how does this ingredient promote weight loss? Let’s uncover the answers.

Firstly:

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate – an antacid used to get rid of heartburn and gastritis. Therefore, using this element in our food certainly helps in indigestion. Now, there are several options to consume baking soda.

Adding it with apple cider vinegar:

Apple cider vinegar is a natural laxative that helps individuals lose weight by aiding in hunger control. As a detox diet, it controls your appetite. Apple cider can help you lose weight on its own. It contains acetic acid, which, according to certain research, increases the amount of specific enzymes, speeding up the fat-burning process.

How much to drink?

Because no scientific studies have been done to determine the right amount of baking soda and apple cider vinegar to drink for weight loss, some recommendations are drinking the cocktail for five days in a row with the next two days off.

The most crucial piece of advice is to not overdo it. Too much acidity in your body can have disastrous consequences and jeopardize your health.

How to make?

The drink is made using 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 120 milliliters of water. Allow the soda and apple cider vinegar to sit for a few minutes before adding the water.

Because the flavor is harsh and unpleasant, prepare to drink a glass of water afterwards.

When should you drink?

1 hour before meals, 1-3 times a day

Adding it with lemon juice:

Baking soda is high in anti-inflammatory effects, as well as the ability to neutralize excess stomach acid production. Lemon is high in Vitamin C and antioxidants, making it a popular choice for various health problems. Together, they burn excessive fat, increase hydration and boost metabolism. It also purifies your excretory system and soothes urinary tract infections.

How much to drink?

If you are using for a cleanse / detox, it is recommended to use once daily for five days in the morning.

How to make?

In a glass, combine two teaspoons of lemon juice, add half a teaspoon of baking soda and wait for the fizz to subside. Fill the glass halfway with water and stir vigorously until everything is dissolved. This should be consumed all at once.

When should you drink?

The drink can be had at any time, but the optimum results are obtained when consumed first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Is it beneficial?

Baking soda in combination with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice has several health benefits, including the potential to detoxify the body, balance pH levels and promote digestion. It may also aid in immune system enhancement, heart health promotion, skin protection, liver repair, and chronic illness prevention.

Although the use of these two ingredients mixed with baking soda is good for one’s own health, there have been situations in which the negative consequences have outweighed the positive ones.

The prescribed use of sodium bicarbonate is half a teaspoon for no longer than two weeks.  Please note it is also prohibited to give baking soda to children.

Some notable side effects:

• Formation of gas in the stomach
• Stomach ache
• Diarrhoea
