Transcript

Can Baking Soda tell you how strong your stomach acid is? Baking soda and water might actually tell you how strong your little digestive system is. Something you can do at the house. Can baking soda tell you how strong your stomach acid is? Some people will do a simple at-home test to see, um, if your digestive system is working right, okay? Because without stomach acid, you can't break your food down enough and get all the little nutrients. So what you do, you get some baking soda. About a fourth teaspoon. It don't take much. 4 to 6 ounces of water. What you do, a scoop. Put that in there like that. Just get that a little mix. Sometimes I do this pre-workout, but actually if you test in your digestive system, you're gonna see how long it takes you to burp from the time that you drink this. So don't drink this fast. If you burp within 30 seconds to a minute and a half, that's really good. If it takes you about 5 minutes to, um, belch like that, it might, uh, you might have low stomach acid, which is not good because you don't digest your food that right. So cheers. Good good acid production.
