Research published this month in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology found that having balanced baking soda, or bicarbonate, levels in your body could reduce your chances of early death. The study examined data compiled in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study for 2,287 participants.
Participants were healthy adults who, at the onset of the study in 1997, were between the ages of 70 and 79, and were followed for approximately 10 years. Survival data were gathered through February 2014. What did they find? Study author Dr. Kalani Raphael, associate professor and nephrology and hypertension specialist at the University of Utah, and colleagues investigated pH, carbon dioxide, and bicarbonate in association with long-term survival.
According to the University of Utah press release, “Critically ill patients with severe acid-base abnormalities have a very low likelihood of surviving their illness, but it’s unclear whether more subtle changes in the body’s acid-base status have an effect on the longevity of relatively healthy older people.”

It sure is most beneficial to our health in so many ways. One example, I know that you love your tea, right? well, no problem there but the tannin elevates your PH levels and an acidic PH is not good for your immune system, check this out: https://food.ndtv.com/health/baking-soda-water-benefits-and-how-to-make-it-at-home-1839807#:~:text=soda%20with%20water-,Baking%20soda%20is%20more%20than%20just%20a%20cake%2Draising%20ingredient,relief%20from%20indigestion%20in%20adults.
I am not sure how to take this. Does it mean that is someone drinks a glass of water with a spoonful of baking soda it will make them healthier?
