The body is under constant danger of becoming acid, due to the very basic process of energy production, by oxidizing (breaking down) carbohydrates
into carbon dioxide and
water, producing
acidic residue (CO2), that needs to be disposed of through cellular respiration, and then exhaled through the lungs (this is why the rate of breathing can directly affect body's acid / alkaline balance).
