Because it contains sodium, it should be used in moderation and is not suitable for everyone.

Step 2: What Does Lemon Add?

Fresh lemon juice provides several nutrients, including:

• Vitamin C
• Potassium
• Flavonoids
• Natural antioxidants

Lemon adds a refreshing flavor and can contribute to your daily vitamin C intake, but it does not detoxify the body or melt away fat.

Step 3: Can Baking Soda and Lemon Water Improve Health?

Some people use this drink to help with occasional heartburn or indigestion. Baking soda can temporarily reduce stomach acidity, while lemon adds flavor and nutrients.

However, there is no strong scientific evidence that this mixture can:

• Cure cancer
• Detox the liver
• Burn belly fat
• Eliminate toxins
• Cure diabetes
• Lower high blood pressure
• Prevent infections

Your liver and kidneys already do an excellent job of removing waste products from your body.

Step 4: How to Prepare It Safely

If you choose to try this drink occasionally, keep the recipe simple.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) of water
• Juice of ½ fresh lemon
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Pour the water into a glass.
2. Add the fresh lemon juice.
3. Stir in the baking soda slowly.
4. Wait until the fizzing stops.
5. Drink immediately.

The fizzing is a normal reaction between the acid in the lemon and the baking soda.
