Question

Why do our bodies make lactic acid??​

Answer 1

• When we exercise or do a work, our body uses O2 (oxygen) to break down glucose for energy.

• During heavy exercise or workout, there may not be enough O2 to break down the glucose,so a substance called lactate or lactic acid is made.

• This may cause a burning feeling or ache in your muscles, cramp, rapid breathing , stomach pain and weaknesses.

• Hope this helps you ...
