Rx for your pH - revisited

Here's a tip for balancing the pH of your body. Stir 1/2 tsp. of baking soda into a cup of water and drink. It's the classic "bicarb", but it has more benefits than just soothing indigestion.

Be sure to find some baking soda that does not have any aluminum in it. Bob's Red Mill is a good brand. Then keep it in the refrigerator or the freezer to keep it fresh. Save the other kind for cleaning or deodorizing something.

Cutting-edge naturopathic doctors say that "disease cannot exist in an alkaline environment". I drink this bicarb drink whenever I feel like I'm starting to get sick. It's also very good whenever you didn't get enough sleep the night before. Believe me, it works! And, of course, it's a lot better for the symptoms of indigestion than popping all those antacids. Often, simple is best.

Dr. Bob recommends drinking 2 tablespoons of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water before you go to bed. This will do essentially the same thing, plus a few more added benefits. These are listed on their website:
