Baking soda and lemon water is a popular home remedy shared online. While it can be refreshing, there is no scientific evidence that this drink detoxifies the body, burns fat, cures acid reflux, or treats serious health conditions. Your liver and kidneys naturally remove waste from your body.
If you’d like to try it occasionally, here’s a simple recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 glass (8 oz / 240 ml) water
- Juice of ½ fresh lemon
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda (about a pinch)
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
- Pour the water into a glass.
- Add the fresh lemon juice.
- Sprinkle in the baking soda.
- Stir gently and wait until the fizzing stops before drinking.
Step 2: When to Drink
Drink it occasionally if you enjoy the taste.
It is not necessary to drink it every day, and it should not replace plain water or a balanced diet.
