Can i take baking soda in water for overall health?

You can....: ..but I can't tell you it is absolutely beneficial. Proponents suggest it works as an antacid and antiseptic, which may ease stomach and digestive troubles. Some say the increased alkalinity may combat some diseases including kidney stones and gout. But baking soda can interact with other medicines and supplements, and also contains sodium. Most would only use for heartburn. Discuss with your doc

Buuuuuuuuuuuuurp!!!: Yes, take it in water to the bathroom or kitchen and use it as follows: http://www.allyou.com/budget-home/live-green-save/baking-soda -or- if you have indigestion, a half teaspoon in water is cheaper than Tums A pinch in water on a hot day won't hurt But if you think it'll "detox" you,or promote some kind of overall health benefit,then it may just act as the perfect placebo for you!!
