6- It helps prevent gout
Baking soda contains properties that work to regulate the pH balance in your body. Since gout is brought on by a buildup of uric acid, the ingredient works wonders to break down and level out the excess.

8- It can eliminate kidney stones
Multiple factors can contribute to the appearance of painful, unwanted kidney stones, but baking soda can help keep them at bay. When your kidneys become stressed, they have trouble producing sodium bicarbonate, so adding it to your diet may help replenish what you have lost.
9- It can up your game
Baking soda doesn’t just cure maladies, it can also make you a stronger competitor. A study done at National Taiwan College of Physical Education showed that athletes who consumed the sodium bicarbonate mixture experienced less fatigue during sports activities than those who were given the placebo.
It’s important to note that, before you start taking baking soda internally, you should consult your physician.
