baking soda is a game Cher at its core baking soda is sodium bicarbonate at HTA at its core baking soda is simple compound with extraordinary properties its primary function balancing pH levels our bodies operate within a tightly regulated PH range especially our blood which must stay between 7.35 and 7.45 even a slight deviation from this range can lead to fatigue inflammation and metabolic dysfunction you see in the stomach lining there's sodium bicarbonate and the sodium bicarbonate is the stomach lining so that if any um stomach acid goes through it neutralizes it and your your pancreas releases sodium bicarbonate because as the stomach acid and food comes out of the stomach into the duodenum the duodenum is an alkaline environment and it needs to be alkaline for the other enzymes to work as you'll see tonight and so the pancreas releases sodium bicarbonate to neutralize that sodium bicarbonate is a a natural substance some people say well can I just drink sodium bicarbonate all you would do is neutralize your stomach acid and you need the stomach acid to break down the food but to get it into the tissues you do this or the other thing that neutralizes and alkalizes the the tissues is green drinks so we also are giving green drinks so basically I say to people cancer hasn't got a hope in your body once you do all this as we age particularly after 50 our natural bicarbonate levels decline this makes us more susceptible to acidity issues such as joint pain poor digestion and chronic fatigue think of your body as a car engine over time acidic Gunk
