water diet is it safe

- welcome to marcusg.tv. i'm chef marcus guiliano. i'm a chef on a mission. so i get a lot of questions, if i drink or consume baking soda every day.

water diet is it safe, if you've been on my youtube channel or if you caught me througha baking soda video, my couple baking soda videos i have are by far my most popularvideos on my youtube channel.

there's some great information,and in the one video that i did several years back, i touted that i was doing bakingsoda on a regular basis. well, of course, things change, we change. health conditions change, and i don't do bakingsoda every day anymore. so what i do want to talk aboutthe benefits of baking soda and the times that i use baking soda. so the times that i use baking soda,

i do it before or after a endurance, a longer endurance run. something that i'm out formaybe two, three hours, as it helps dump lacticacid out of your body. i also take baking soda wheni have digestion issues, which doesn't happen much at all. for the first time this year,it's october, end of october, i actually had somethingfried the other day and it wasn't because i orderedit or because i wanted it.

it was because it wasput down in front of me and i didn't want to be disrespectful, and it was a samosa with a chickpea gravy and so i didn't want to be disrespectful, so i actually ate it. but i could feel afterwards... i said, "man, this friedfood is just sitting in me" and it just didn't feel right, so baking soda was in order after that.

so baking soda aids indigestion, heartburn, things like that. so those are the two timesthat i really take baking soda. there is another time if iconsume too much alcohol, which i don't try to do that. i typically don't drink that much at all, but since i own arestaurant, i do consume. i do taste, and i doenjoy really good wine. and i do enjoy really goodbeer, especially hoppy ipas.

but as far as getting drunk,i typically don't do that. however, if i do drink toomuch, like sometimes i do go to wine tastings and iwill get carried away. that's when another timethat baking soda is in order. it helps, of course, dumplactic acid, clean your body up. so it helps with something... it helps with hangovers. so i'm on dr. whitaker's site. dr. whitaker is a well-known cardiologist,

natural cardiologist and he has this thing on his website, sevenbenefits of baking soda, 7 health benefits of baking soda. now he is a heart doctor and i guess he is endorsing baking soda. so if that answers your question if you have high bloodpressure and baking soda, this might be a good resourcefor you to investigate dr. whitaker,w-h-i-t-a-k-e-r, dr. whitaker.

i've followed dr.whitaker for years and one of the first videos i ever saw from him. it wasn't until he starteddoing natural approaches that he said he started curingpeople of heart disease. and that was years andyears and years ago, he started doing that. so he's very well knownas far as cardiologists, heart doctors. so seven uses of baking soda.

now he references everything,so if you want to go to his website,drwhitaker.com, you'll see all of his references there. i'm going to try to keep this video short, so i'm not going to list allthe references, but here we go. seven uses of baking soda. seven uses of baking soda for health. number one benefit, kidney disease. bicarbonate is an alkalinesubstance naturally produced

in the body that buffers acids. it keeps ph in check. people that have chronic kidney disease, which is most often causedby diabetes or hypertension, poorly functioned kidneys have a hard time removing acid from the body. this often results in a condition known as metabolic acidosis. and he lists some studies here for that.

health benefit number two ofsodium bicarbonate is cancer. there's a lot of greatresources out there on cancer. dr. mark sircus, dr. tooley, so there's some really good work onbaking soda and cancer. if you have cancer or ifyou're concerned about cancer, definitely go look up some more resources. there's a lot of work out there. there's a lot of informationon there about that.

and, of course, bakingsoda is super cheap. benefit number three. occasional heartburn ingestion, just like that i had mentioned. ingestion heartburn, works phenomenal. it works within like 15 seconds. you can start feeling the difference. so it's just a teaspoonin a pint of water. i do 16 ounces of water and a teaspoon.

i put the baking soda in first, then i pour the water on top so it kind of like stirs it in naturally, and then i take a spoon and i stir and i let it sit a goodminute, let it all dissolve and then i chug it back. dermatological conditions. british researchers foundthat adding a half a cup of baking soda to bath watersoothed itches and irritation

in patients with psoriasis. that's another good thing. so any kind of skincondition, acne, whatever. i've seen people use it for. natural deodorant. simply mix a teaspoon ofbaking soda with enough water to create a milky liquid. rub it on your feet and underarms. i've seen a lot of people do that

in the natural health world. oral health. of course, lots of toothpastehas baking soda in it, and that's why. removal of plaque, of course, is one of the most beneficial things. number seven, athletic performance, just as i was talking about earlier. when taken before intenseexercises, sodium bicarbonate

buffers a lactic acid that builds up in hard working muscles, delays fatigue, and enhances athletic performance. so in a sense it's like an energy drink. if you look online and youget a natural energy... if you want to make your ownnatural electrolyte drink 'cause we don't want to drink gatorade. one of the ingredients ina natural electrolyte drink is sodium bicarbonate alongwith other certain minerals

and salts, but sodiumbicarbonate is one of the things that's in there that's inevery recipe that i've found. and here's a note on the bottom. although sodium bicarbonatecontains quite a bit of sodium, it does not raise blood pressure. the hypertensive effectof salt, sodium chloride, comes from the combinationof sodium and chloride, not from sodium bicarbonate. so that's interesting.

so dr. whitaker's saying that. of course he's a heart doctor, so you have to understand that hehas experience in this so if anybody asks that question, will it raise blood pressure. i'm not the doctor, but dr.whitaker is, so he's saying that it's not. that's something that's veryinteresting, 'cause a lot of people that i know are afraid also

to take sodium bicarbonateand the doctors, even the heart doctors i know, are afraid to tell their patients,'cause i've had people ask their cardiologistsand their doctors say, "no, no, no, no, no." well dr. whitaker's saying that that's not a problem whatsoever. so, benefits of baking soda. now here's another benefit of baking soda.

it is an amazing cleaner. it's not a health benefit,but it's an amazing cleaner. we had some grease spilledup on a wall in our kitchen and had somebody start cleaning it, and they were using soap,they were using vinegar, they were scrubbing it. and i'm looking at him,and i'm like man this wall, this corner of this wallis just really built up, 'cause we started moving some shelves.

and i said, "you know what,try some baking soda." and, of course, mixed bakingsoda and water, got a rag, put it on the wall, andthe grease immediately lifted right off the wall(snap) just like that. it was amazing, thedishwasher that was doing it, he was like, "i can'tbelieve this is working. i can't believe this." and i said, "baking soda isgood for a lot of things, like i told you."
