1. Relieves Heartburn

Heartburn is one of those uncomfortable conditions that makes your chest feel like it's burning. Also known as acid reflux, heartburn occurs when stomach acid travels up into the throat. Even if you only experience it once after eating rich or spicy foods, the discomfort is enough to drive you crazy. Chronic heartburn can even cause permanent damage to the esophagus. Baking soda can quickly relieve acid reflux by neutralizing stomach acid. Simply mix a teaspoon with a bit of cold water, then sip the mixture slowly. (Drinking it too quickly can create foam in your stomach, making you feel bloated.)
