What is the importance of pH in everyday life?
pH is the measure of Hydrogen ions in something. Things with low concentrations of these ions we call acid. Things with high concentrations of these ions we call base.
Two important ways pH impacts everyday life is in 1) water and in 2) soil.
When an acid and a base meet, they form water. Our bodies perform the best at a particular pH. So, the pH in our bodies at any given time determines if we should take in more vegetables, fruits, nuts, seafood, or dairy. Our cells function in only a narrow range of pH. Improper pH will cause kidney problems, thyroid problems, metabolism disorders, difficulty for your body in the way it processes oxygen, higher cortisol, loss of muscle mass (your body starts to cannibalize itself to maintain the necessary pH), and other health problems.Each plant has a soil pH range that creates the most nutritious produce and the healthiest plant. This impacts you everyday you grow something or purchase something from the grocer.
Another category of how pH interacts with us everyday is by our sense of taste and smell. The next time you “take time to smell the roses” or taste your favorite food with your favorite condiments you are proving that we have two finely tuned pH detectors in our body. Our senses of taste and smell tell us quickly if something is acidic or basic, salty, sour, bitter or sweet, or if it has the smell of death or life. Take time to contemplate that you are a walking-around wonder
One thorn in this rose of pH is that it poses an interesting problem in origin of life arguments. It is not insurmountable, but it is trickier than one might think at first blush. Primordial water would tend to neutralize any acid or base. This would be a deterrent to making more complicated life. So there is a frontier here for someone to find how the “primordial soup” could have produced acids and bases in an ocean of neutral water.

in short i want in 7 lines
There are enzymes and chemical substances called the hormones also present. The hormones are used for coordination between the various functions in the human body and for a better balancing of these chemicals the advent of pH is very important. There is lot of importance of pH ineveryday life of an human
is this ok
hmm
thanks

the importance of ph in our day to day life is as follows...
1.milkman add small amount of baking soda in the milk to reduce the ph value of milk in summer days which stops the growth of bacteria.
2. tooth decay
when we eat food some amount of food stuck in our mouth. the bacteria which present in our mouth decompose it and produce acid which lowers the ph value of the mouth.
3. stomach (digestive system )
stomach has gastric gland which secretes hcl which leads to acidity which increase the ph of the stomach .
