In addition to being a natural way to clean your home and wash your hair, vinegar and baking soda can be used as potent health remedies to keep you healthy and at your ideal weight. Read on to learn more. Fantastic, huh?
Why Combine Vinegar and Baking Soda?
This remedy gives you all of the benefits of apple cider vinegar and baking soda, which we will list below. Baking soda and vinegar have opposite pH, in other words, alkaline and acidic respectively, which allows you to be able to drink this without harming yourself. As a result, you will get all of the properties of the remedy without acidifying your body.
On the other hand, although many people consume baking soda to fight gastric acid, this is not good in the long term either, because it can alter the natural pH of the stomach acid. You need the chloric acid in the stomach to be balanced in order to digest food well.

It contains vitamins A and B, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and multiple minerals like calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, zinc, iron, and silicon, as well as many others.
