Baking soda isn’t just for cookies.

It’s a forgotten medicine that helped fight the flu in 1924—and now shows promise for inflammation, cancer, digestion, and more.

Here are 8 science-backed ways to use baking soda to transform your health: 🧵
1. Balances Your pH 🧪

Baking soda is alkaline. It helps neutralize excess acidity caused by diet, stress, or inflammation.

→ Buffers acidic foods
→ Supports immune and metabolic health
→ May reduce inflammation linked to disease

Internal balance starts here.
2. Boosts Oral Health 🦷

Brushing with baking soda:

→ Removes plaque
→ Neutralizes mouth acid
→ Kills odor-causing bacteria
→ Naturally whitens teeth

It’s fluoride-free and actually works—without the side effects found in most commercial toothpaste.
3. Natural Antacid 💧

Heartburn or reflux?

→ 1 tsp baking soda in water neutralizes stomach acid
→ Offers fast relief
→ No additives or long-term risks

It doesn’t just mask symptoms—it addresses the cause.
4. Speeds Muscle Recovery 💪

Training hard?

Baking soda helps buffer lactic acid buildup—reducing soreness and fatigue.

→ Boosts endurance
→ Enhances performance
→ Speeds up recovery time

Elite athletes have used it for decades. Time to catch up.
5. Reduces Inflammation 🔥

Chronic inflammation is the root of many diseases—heart disease, cancer, arthritis.

Baking soda helps by:

→ Lowering inflammatory markers
→ Supporting immune balance
→ Reducing pain and stiffness

A small daily dose could go a long way.
6. Supports Kidney Function 🩸

Your kidneys filter 50 gallons of blood daily—and hate acidity.

Baking soda helps neutralize excess acid, easing the load.

→ Supports filtration
→ Lowers acid buildup
→ May slow early kidney decline

Backed by early research.
7. Aids Digestion 🍽️

Bloating? Indigestion?

A small dose of baking soda in water helps:

→ Rebalance stomach acid
→ Ease discomfort
→ Support smoother digestion

Fast, natural relief—no Tums required.
8. Natural Deodorant 🧼

Most store deodorants contain aluminum, hormone disruptors, and synthetic fragrance.

Baking soda:

→ Neutralizes odor
→ Absorbs sweat
→ Is 100% natural

Just dab a little under your arms—no toxins, no nonsense.
Final Takeaway:

Baking soda isn’t a “hack.”
It’s a low-cost, science-backed tool for:

→ Inflammation
→ Digestion
→ Detox
→ Recovery

And more.

Big Pharma buried it.
You don’t have to.

Castor oil is one of nature’s most overlooked bioactive compounds.

It supports liver detox pathways, reduces inflammatory markers, and stimulates dormant hair follicles—yet it’s rarely highlighted.

So I examined the science behind it…

What I found was remarkable: 🧵
1. It’s nature’s alternative to Botox.

Castor oil isn’t just folk medicine—it’s a potent skincare ally. From reducing acne-causing bacteria to softening fine lines and wrinkles, its effects are backed by science.

Here’s what it really does to your skin: 👇
2. A natural catalyst for stronger, fuller hair

Rich in ricinoleic acid and omega-6 fatty acids, castor oil:

– Reduces breakage
– Enhances shine
– Stimulates thicker growth (scalp, beard, brows)

It’s no myth—there’s a reason holistic experts champion it: 👇

Coffee stopped working?
You crash by 3 PM and wake up more tired than before?

Your adrenals are likely fried.

Here’s how to recover your energy, focus, and drive — without relying on caffeine or willpower: 🧵
1. “Adrenal fatigue” isn’t just in your head.

Coined in 1998, the idea is simple: chronic stress burns out your adrenal glands.

The result?
→ Energy crashes
→ Brain fog
→ Salt/sugar cravings
→ Dependence on caffeine just to survive
2. Your adrenal glands control more than you think.

These tiny glands sit on top of your kidneys.

They produce:
→ Cortisol (stress response)
→ Aldosterone (blood pressure)
→ Adrenaline (fight-or-flight)
They’re your body’s stress control center.

Most people are terrible at sleeping.

So I went down the Andrew Huberman rabbit hole—hours of podcasts, notes, experiments.

What I uncovered?

7 weirdly specific “sleep commandments” Huberman swears by.

Miss one, and your sleep pays the price:🧵 Image
Image
Sleep isn’t optional. It’s everything.

Huberman puts it bluntly:
“Sleep is the foundation of mental and physical health.”

Neglect it—and your mood, focus, hormones, even your immune system crumble.

Fix your sleep?
You fix everything.
Rule #1: Get sunlight within 30 to 60 minutes of waking.

Morning sunlight tells your brain it’s daytime.

It boosts alertness and sets your internal clock to release melatonin about 14 hours later.

Even on cloudy days, outdoor light is stronger than anything indoors.

VLDL vs HDL: The Real Story Behind “Good” and “Bad” Cholesterol

Think cholesterol is the enemy?

You’re actually dealing with fat couriers—lipoproteins.

And it’s not the cholesterol itself…
It’s how it’s shipped that determines the damage. 🧵 Image
1. What Are Lipoproteins?

Fats and cholesterol can’t float freely in your blood.

So your body wraps them in lipoproteins—tiny fat-protein spheres.

Think of them as delivery trucks.
What they carry—and where—makes all the difference.
2. VLDL: The Fat Mover

VLDL (Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein) is made in your liver.

Its job?
Deliver triglycerides to your muscles (for fuel) or fat cells (for storage).

Too much?
VLDL starts the chain that becomes LDL.

Europeans smoke.
They drink.
They eat carbs.

But they still outlive Americans.

It’s not genetics. It’s not magic.

Here’s why Europeans live longer (even without gyms) — and what you can do to copy their lifestyle: 🧵
1. Ultra-Processed Foods
In the US, 58% of what people eat is ultra-processed.

In countries like Italy and Romania? Just 13–15%.

More processed food = higher obesity, more chronic disease, shorter life.

It’s not the carbs. It’s the fake food.
2. Food Labels Matter
The UK uses sugar taxes and front-of-pack warnings.

This leads to lower sugar consumption.

In the US?
You can drink 70g of sugar from a single Mountain Dew — and still not know it.

Clear labels = better health decisions.
