pH balance

pH balance refers to the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, measured on a scale from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral, like pure water. Values below 7 indicate acidity, and values above 7 indicate alkalinity. Maintaining the body's optimal pH (around 7.35-7.45) is essential for proper cellular function and overall health. Your body naturally regulates pH levels through various systems to keep them balanced, but factors like diet, stress, or health conditions can influence this balance. An imbalance can lead to issues such as discomfort, infections, or other health problems.
