Who are suitable for drinking soda water?

Speaking of soda water, everyone is familiar with it. On a hot summer day, a bottle of soda water can quench thirst and replenish nutrients. It is a favorite drink of many people. However, some people say that soda water is not suitable for everyone. This may be strange to everyone. It is a drink that we drink every day and contains many nutrients. Why is it not suitable for everyone? Let's take a look at the suitable group of people for soda water.

Regarding the various "functions" of soda water, nutritionists pointed out that soda water has a strong alkaline property, which can make urine alkaline in the kidneys, which is beneficial for the kidneys to excrete uric acid, but the acid-base neutralization reaction will not occur in the blood. Therefore, soda water cannot change the acidic physique. Its real value is to alkalize urine and promote the excretion of uric acid. Apart from gout, soda water cannot prevent or treat other diseases. As for the so-called beauty-enhancing, constipation-treating and other effects advertised, there is no scientific basis for them. Soda water that is labeled with various trace elements cannot effectively supplement trace elements. Various additives and carbon dioxide can only improve the taste.

Nutritionists say that soda water that is healthy for the human body mainly refers to water containing "baking soda", namely sodium bicarbonate. In addition to gout patients, people with excessive gastric acid secretion can also drink more to neutralize gastric acid. However, people with too little gastric acid secretion should not drink a lot of soda water, otherwise it will aggravate the lack of gastric acid. It is best for patients with hypertension not to drink soda water, because soda water contains more sodium, and reducing sodium intake is an important measure to treat hypertension. Healthy people should also not drink large amounts of soda water for a long time, otherwise it will easily cause excessive sodium in the diet.

Nutritionists remind everyone that when buying soda water, you should pay attention to whether there is "sodium bicarbonate" in the ingredient list. Soda water that only contains carbon dioxide cannot have any health benefits. At the same time, try to choose products with relatively fewer additives in the ingredient list. If you don't like the taste of soda water, you can drink it refrigerated or iced.

Once again, the editor also reminds everyone that no matter how good soda water is, it is an added drink and is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, health is the priority. We still have to develop the habit of drinking more boiled water and replenish water in a healthy way. Of course, for suitable people, drinking soda water after exercise is also very beneficial to the body. Soda water contains sodium bicarbonate and must be consumed within a certain time after opening.
