Why does it make sense that excess blood acidity is the problem more commonly faced than excess blood alkalinity by healthy intact individuals with normal metabolism? Thanks!

  #2

maybe because during metabolism we make more acids than bases

YEP good question

if blood -acidity /alkalinity occurs, it quickly comes to normal.

all chemical reactions are started by enzymes cause release of energy.. IF ANY CHANGE in blood( acidity),, these enzymes wouldnt function. and chemical reaction wouldnt proceed.

gimme ur ideaz plz.smiling face
