5 Benefits of Baking Soda

Bicarbonate contributes to give a little bit of bubbles and helps to relax the muscles and neutralizes acids in the skin eliminating the smell of sweat.

Some toothpastes contain it. It can be used with normal tooth whitening paste. Use it only once a day for two weeks and stop, because is abrasive for teeth and gums can become sensitive.

Mix one part of water with three parts of baking soda. Clean the skin and then apply the mixture and with rotating movements put it on the entire face avoiding the eye area. Then wash with water and apply moisturizer.

This can be done every two weeks, or once a month is enough. If you are blond or have color treated hair and you swim in pools, wash it after swimming with a mixture of baking soda (1/3 cup) and lemon juice to prevent color change.

Recent studies claim that the sodium found in bicarbonate alkalizes, and in an alkaline environment, it is very difficult for cancer cells to reproduce. Take 1 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in half a cup of warm water every day on an empty stomach.
