Description
A simple morning tonic made with baking soda and water that may reduce bloating, support digestion, and improve workout endurance when taken at the correct dose and timing.
Ingredients
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces room temperature water
Juice of half a lemon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon raw honey (optional)
Pinch of Himalayan pink salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Measure 1/4 teaspoon baking soda into a drinking glass.
2. Add 8 ounces of room temperature water and stir for 30 seconds until fully dissolved.
3. Squeeze in lemon juice if using, stir again.
4. Add honey if desired, stir once more.
5. Drink steadily within 60 seconds, 20-30 minutes before eating or 45 minutes before exercise.
Notes
Do not exceed 1/4 teaspoon per serving.
Not recommended daily — take 2-3 days off per week.
Consult your doctor if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or take medications affecting electrolytes.
Do not use baking powder — it is not the same ingredient.
