It helps keep your pet's blood
pH in a narrow range, binds to many hormones allowing them to circulate throughout the body and helps keep fluids in their proper place (osmotic effect).
Not exact matches
But these are expensive to produce and work best
in a
narrow temperature and
pH range.
I honestly haven't done much research on the acid / alkaline type of diet, but what I've learned
in physiology at school is that the body maintains the blood
pH value at a very
narrow range.
It would take a lot of stress to change the
pH level even a little bit, since the body has powerful buffering mechanisms to maintain the level
in a very
narrow range.
Living things live
in a
narrow range of
ph. Recent oceans and ancient oceans that allowed complex life had a
ph that varied approximately from 7.5 to 8.5 and any change
in ph occurred over extended time periods.
Carbonic acid and phosphoric acid are the 2 most critical buffering agents for maintaining a
narrow pH range in humans and other animals.
More importantly, is the
narrow range of tolerance that a lot of marine biomass has to relatively large changes
in pH (the small numbers may not be impressive, but I suppose neither is 1 degree over 100 years).
