Description
The Dr Oz baking soda trick is a 2-minute morning wellness drink with baking soda and lemon that supports digestion, pH balance, and daily energy on an empty stomach.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (pure sodium bicarbonate)
- 8 oz cool or room-temperature filtered water
- Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon (about 1 tbsp)
- 1 tsp raw honey (optional)
- 1 small pinch Himalayan pink salt (optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
Instructions
- Measure exactly half a teaspoon of plain baking soda using a level measuring spoon. Do not use more than this amount for a single serving.
- Pour 8 oz of cool or room-temperature filtered water into a clear glass. Stir in the baking soda for 15 to 20 seconds until fully dissolved and the water runs clear.
- Squeeze the juice of half a fresh lemon directly into the dissolved baking soda water. Stir gently and watch the fizzing reaction. Drink immediately before the fizz settles.
- If using optional additions, stir in raw honey, a pinch of pink salt, or ground ginger after the lemon juice. Give everything one final stir to combine.
- Sip the drink slowly over 3 to 5 minutes on an empty stomach, 20 to 30 minutes before your first meal or coffee. Do not repeat more than once per day.
Notes
Storage: This drink is best made fresh each morning. Do not store it, as the baking soda reaction with lemon dissipates quickly.
Safety: Do not exceed half a teaspoon of baking soda per serving. People with kidney disease, high blood pressure, or sodium-restricted diets should consult a doctor before using.
Substitutions: Apple cider vinegar can replace lemon juice for a different flavor profile. Warm water can replace cool water for easier dissolving.
