there are seven unexpected benefits from

using

baking soda now most of you probably

have baking soda in your refrigerator to

help decrease odors and you may also

know that it’s good for removing stains

in your carpet and to use as a kitchen

cleaner

but there’s some other really

interesting benefits that you probably

didn’t hear about

now what is baking soda it is sodium

bicarbonate about four million years ago

in the area of wyoming there was a salty

lake that dried up to form what is

called trona deposits and these deposits

are basically sodium carbonate so that’s

what they make sodium bicarbonate from

the sodium carbonate so most of the

baking soda sold in the world comes from

this one place in wyoming so let’s talk

about number one

you can use it as a teeth whitener

because it does whiten your teeth

but it can also be used as a mouthwash

to help reduce

bacteria in your mouth especially the

ones that cause bad breath

now what’s fascinating about this is

that

these microbes exist in a certain ph and

they cannot exist

in different phs

and so when you alkalize the mouth you

make an environment very difficult for

certain acid bacteria to grow as well as

the bacteria that make tartar and

plaquing and so baking soda is really

good to reduce plaquing in your teeth

and it can be used as a mild abrasive to

help clean the teeth as well so you just

take a tablespoon of baking soda and a

tablespoon of water mix it up and brush

your teeth alright that’s number one all

right number two you can use it as a

natural deodorant normally sweat does

not have any odor

it’s the bacteria that gives you the

odor and like i just said in number one

baking soda being alkaline changes the

ph

and can

create an environment where these

microbes cannot exist so you basically

take four tablespoons of baking soda and

four tablespoons of either

olive oil or coconut oil mix it up and

use it as a natural deodorant now i

would also add an essential oil

to give it a certain aroma you can use

lemon you can use cinnamon you can even

use lavender or even sandalwood you can

just add a couple drops and then keep it

in the refrigerator and use it as needed

all right number three you can use it to

degrade pesticides on your vegetables in

one study baking soda was found to be

the most effective

method of removing certain pesticides

from vegetables which is quite

interesting and i’ll put that research

down below in the description and so of

course you want to buy organic but if

you can’t always buy organic and they

spray with a pesticide or maybe a

chemical to kill worms you can basically

soak these vegetables in some baking

soda for about 12 to 15 minutes and then

rinse them off and that’s going to

greatly help remove some of these

chemicals from your vegetables all right

number four

itchy skin like let’s say for example

you had a bee sting or some insect bite

you can apply baking soda directly on

your skin to help greatly reduce itching

it can also help with poison ivy all

right number five

prolonged fasting okay so let’s say

you’re going to fast for 72

hours or longer

what happens is you’re in such a state

of ketosis

that your body is going to be

excessively acid and so a little baking

soda can help reduce that acidity now

you don’t have to use much i’m talking

about maybe

an eighth of a teaspoon in some water

drink it down and that can help curb

this acidity now why is acidity bad it’s

not really bad but sometimes can give

you a certain odor in your breath that

you may not enjoy or people around you

might not

appreciate

all right number six

toe nail fungus

like i said in number one and two

changing the ph can greatly alter the

environment for certain microbes to

exist

there’s a fascinating

research article that i put in the

description

that talks about altering the ph making

the ph more alkaline

to inhibit

viruses

and certain gram-negative

bacteria and i’m not going to mention

the virus that they’re going to talk

about you can check it out before but i

will give you a little hint it’s a

current virus that everyone’s concerned

about right now but it’s a fascinating

research article that you’ll have to

check out but adding some baking soda to

toenail fungus

like an athlete’s foot can reduce the

growth of that organism all right number

seven you can use it for mouth ulcers

again mouth ulcers

are usually

caused

by a virus okay so by changing the ph we

can put this virus back into remission

and get rid of these viruses

now if you haven’t seen my video on the

benefits of apple cider vinegar
