According to a sports nutrition expert from Bulk.com, baking soda can act as a “stimulant” with “short, high-intensity periods of exercise”.<\/p>\n
They claimed that baking soda can “reduce fatigue during\u00a0exercise”, help “boost the workout” and allow people to “exercise for a longer period of time”.<\/p>\n
The experts explained: \u201cThis is due to its ability to reduce hydrogen ions produced from anaerobic metabolism.<\/p>\n
\u201cEssentially, it can help to increase strength, coordination, and high-intensity exercise performance, allowing you to push yourself further during intense activities such as weightlifting, running, swimming, and cycling.\u201d<\/p>\n
The experts suggested the ideal dose is 0.3 grams per kg and it should be taken 60\u2013180 minutes before exercise, according to research.<\/p>\n

Some doctors and nutrition experts, however, claimed that drinking water with baking soda or adding baking soda to meals “may have minor indirect effects on weight loss”.<\/p>\n
According to the health site Healthline, baking soda, when combined with water, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, is “especially effective at helping you shed excess body fat”.<\/p>\n
However, “there\u2019s little science to back this up,” they added and explained: “Baking soda may have an indirect weight-loss-promoting effect, mainly due to the liquid you choose to mix it with.”<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Baking soda can be diluted in water or mixed with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and “when consumed daily, such beverages may result in larger daily fluid intake”.<\/p>\n This may “improve your overall hydration levels, an effect that studies suggest may reduce hunger, increase metabolism, and promote body fat loss,” Healthline explained.<\/p>\n Apple cider vinegar is a drink that “may help you feel less hungry”, according to research but “recent studies supporting apple cider vinegar\u2019s weight loss effects are limited”.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
