Acid-base balance of the body and frequency therapy

Definition of acidosis:

The acid-base balance of the body refers to the regulation of the pH value in the body fluids, especially in the blood, to ensure a stable, slightly alkaline environment. The normal pH value of the blood is between 7.35 and 7.45.

Function:

A balanced acid-base balance is crucial for numerous physiological processes, including

Enzymatic reactions
Oxygen transport
Electrolyte balance
Cell metabolism

Regulatory mechanisms:

The body uses several systems to regulate the acid-base balance:

Buffer systems:
Chemical buffers in the blood, such as bicarbonate, haemoglobin and proteins, neutralise excess acids or bases.
Respiratory system:
The lungs regulate the carbon dioxide content in the blood by adjusting the breathing rate, which influences the pH value.
Kidneys:
The kidneys regulate the excretion of hydrogen ions and the reabsorption of bicarbonate to stabilise the pH in the long term.

disorders:

Acidosis:
A condition in which the pH of the blood falls below 7.35, indicating acidosis.
Alkalosis: E
a condition in which the blood pH rises above 7.45, indicating over-alkalisation.

Causes of imbalances:

Metabolic diseases, respiratory diseases, kidney dysfunction
Unhealthy diet, dehydration, excessive consumption of acid-forming foods

Prevention and care:

A balanced diet with a good ratio of alkaline to acidic foods.
Adequate fluid intake and regular physical activity.
Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol and caffeinated drinks.

Worth knowing:

The body is very efficient at maintaining acid-alkaline balance, and slight fluctuations are usually compensated for quickly.
Acid-base balance can be monitored by blood tests that measure pH, bicarbonate and carbon dioxide levels.

Research:

Research is investigating the effects of diet, lifestyle and chronic diseases on the acid-base balance and the role of imbalances in the development of diseases.
