Understanding the Chemistry of Buffers: How to Increase Alkalinity Without Increasing pH
•

The human body maintains its blood pH within a very narrow, slightly alkaline range (7.35–7.45) through sophisticated buffering systems involving the lungs and kidneys. Consequently, the idea of a dietary strategy for **how to increase alkalinity without increasing pH** in the body is based on a misconception; it is, however, a critical topic in water chemistry for pools, hot tubs, and aquariums.
