pH, or potential hydrogen, plays a pivotal role in maintaining acidity overload and alkalinity balance in our body fluids. It’s a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in these fluids, with the pH scale ranging from 0 to 14. Optimal pH levels are crucial for proper bodily function:<\/p>\n

Blood pH: 7.35-7.45<\/strong><\/p>\n

Urine pH: 4.6-8.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saliva pH: 7.0-7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acidosis: Causes, Symptoms, and Types<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Respiratory Acidosis: This type occurs due to insufficient removal of carbon dioxide by the lungs, leading to increased acidity in the blood. Causes include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or respiratory muscle weakness.<\/p>\n

Metabolic Acidosis: Resulting from overproduction of acids or the body’s inability to eliminate them effectively. Causes include uncontrolled diabetes (diabetic ketoacidosis), kidney failure, lactic acidosis, or the ingestion of certain toxins.<\/p>\n

Acidosis symptoms include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
