The term pH means potential hydrogen, i.e., how many hydrogen idioms are in a water-based solution. When you test how acidic a solution is, you are actually testing how many hydrogen ions are in the solution. This is often refer to as the pH level, which ranges from 0.0 to 14. A pH level of 7.0 is the median. 7.0 pH is neutral, meaning it’s neither acidic nor alkaline.
The pH level of blood plasma is a 7.4, but you should know that every body fluid, organ, cell, bone, tissue and muscle has its own pH level which might be higher or lower than 7.4. The often quoted body pH level of 7.4 is related to blood plasma. There is no overall pH for the body. pH levels vary widely throughout every organ, body fluid and part of the body. As a results, there is no standard pH level that the body should achieve. Most of the time when people are talking about the body’s pH level, they are talking about the blood’s pH level at 7.4 and not the pH level of the stomach, bone, muscle or organ, which are all different.
