Ph can effect our teeth, saliva, urine, and etc.

Let me know if you need more information.

Living organisms are composed of cells. These cells make proteins in order to carry out their duties for the organism. These proteins function best at specific pH's. Acids lower the pH and bases raise the pH. Buffers keep the pH constant so that a protein can perform its best.
