What is an Acidic Body An acidic body refers to a condition where the body's pH levels are lower than normal, indicating higher acidity. This condition is known as acidosis. The body maintains a balance of acids and bases, typically with a pH of around 7.4 for blood. When this balance is disrupted, the pH drops and rises, sometimes leading to various health issues. There are two main types of acidosis: Metabolic Acidosis This occurs when the body produces too much acid or loses too much bicarbonate. An acidic body has a net increase in hydrogen ions (H+) which causes free radicals in the body resulting in oxidative stress . This contributes to many common illnesses such as uncontrolled diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension and so on. Respiratory Acidosis This happens when the lungs can't remove enough carbon dioxide, leading to increased acidity in the blood. Obesity, sedative usage, and persistent respiratory disorders are some of the causes. Symptoms of acidosis can include...
