There's a saying that drinking soda helps digestion.

Is it true?

When I see people around me, they say different things.
The digestive medicine will do the best, right?

Considering the ingredients, I don't think it'll be very helpful.
Soda is acidic, but it's too little to say it helps digestion.
And the burp gas produced by drinking soda is not because it is digested, but because carbon dioxide contained in carbonated drinks comes out.

Scientifically, it's not very helpful.
I heard that it might be harder to digest.

The reason for indigestion is that in many cases, the strength of the stomach is weakened or the concentration of stomach acid is low.
In the case of carbonated drinks, it does not increase the concentration of stomach acid, so while burping, it feels like the discomfort of the stomach is temporarily alleviated.
So it's not something that actually digests well, it's something that makes you feel better.

It doesn't really help.
It's just that carbon dioxide enters the stomach, becomes puffy, and then burps, and the gas escapes, making you feel somewhat relieved.
So it makes you feel comfortable.

The gas in the soda is carbon dioxide.
If you drink soda, the temperature rises due to your body temperature and increases in volume, so it vaporizes and comes out as a burp.
It makes you feel like you're digesting something while burping temporarily, but it doesn't help your digestion.
Rather, drinking soda is not good.

I prefer drinks that can increase acidity rather than soda.
For example, orange juice and plum tea are helpful.

Soda is for your mood.

Soda does help digestion.
When you drink soda, a gaseous carbon dioxide bubble occurs in your stomach.
This is because the air bubbles massage the food and stomach.
So it's good for digestion.
