Heartburn (or acid reflux) can be very uncomfortable and even disrupt your daily life. There are many different causes of heartburn, ranging from overeating and stress to even food sensitivities. But there is a natural way to find relief; you guessed it, it’s baking soda.
Baking soda is an acid stabilizer, which can help with the excess acid in your stomach. So, to make your heartburn disappear, pour yourself a glass of water and add a teaspoon of baking soda.
Restore Burned Cookware
If you have a beloved piece of cookware that endured a little too much time on the stove, have no fear; baking soda can save it.
To remove stubborn burnt-on stains, boil water in a separate pot and then add some baking soda to it while it’s still hot. Finally, pour the baking soda and water mixture over the badly burnt areas of the pot or pan you're cleaning.
Deodorize Your Shoes
If you are finding that your shoes are beginning to stink, there’s no need to spend money on deodorizing sprays; baking soda can help you out.
Grab your stinky sneakers, pour two tablespoons of baking soda onto a cloth, tie it up, and leave the cloth inside the shoes while you’re not wearing them. Just like for any room, baking soda will eliminate shoe odors, too.
Combat Cancer
Chemotherapy can be one of the most grueling yet effective cancer treatments. Side effects can be quite brutal but often worth it. And, though it may sound hard to believe, baking soda can also assist the body in fighting cancer.
Because baking soda creates a less acidic environment for cancerous tumors, it can help strengthen chemotherapy treatments.
Make a Fluffy Omelet
Eggs can be cooked in many different ways and are a great option for a healthy meal. But there’s a way to make your omelets even better.
Adding half a teaspoon of baking soda for every three eggs you put in an omelet will make it taste lighter and fluffier. It is the carbon dioxide bubbles within baking soda that give the omelet a fluffy texture. Bon Appétit!
