Soda is a versatile product that helps in cooking and cleaning.

Many housewives cannot imagine working in the kitchen or around the house without such a product. In addition, some find use for the product even in the garden and vegetable garden.

But that's not all. The fact is that some people, as we know, use soda in cases where heartburn bothers them. But is it possible to do so?

TV doctor Alexander Myasnikov noted that if you are bothered by a burning sensation behind the breastbone, you should consult a doctor or look in your medicine cabinet for more suitable remedies.

It is better to avoid soda in this case.

He shared the details as part of his program on the Russia 1 channel.

Myasnikov noted that soda, which enters the body in large quantities, disrupts the functioning of the kidneys and leads to a change in the acid-base balance.

Therefore, if a person constantly tries to get rid of heartburn with the help of soda, it will only cause harm.

As the doctor noted, to avoid the problem, you should not overeat, but eat small portions.

In addition, you should not exercise immediately after eating.

If heartburn does appear, you should immediately contact a doctor and start treatment, but if left untreated, it can lead to more serious problems, such as esophageal cancer.
