They always tell me about the importance of pH. Why? Here I tell you why pH is so important
In this video, I tell you that it is a strong acid and a weak one. What is a strong or weak base? What does the pKa tell us about the reaction? It is strong or weak?
In this video, I tell you the reason why pH is important in biological systems. Why does enzyme activity change with pH? Is it the same in lipids? Carbohydrates? Nucleic Acids?
Help! My body is an acid fabric! In this video, I explain why, even though body pH is always around 7.4, body pH is always been challenged by an acidic metabolism.

In this video, I tell you how to measure pH with a pH meter or pH strips
What are blood pH buffers? What is the equation for the buffer system of blood? The isohydric principle. What is the buffer base of the blood? How does the bicarbonate buffer work? How do oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin work?
Learn Step by step how the kidney reabsorbs bicarbonate in the proximal tubule.
Alkaline diets are a hot topic but are they healthy? What has been proven? Here I tell you what is an alkaline diet and what it produces in the body. Also, what is the relation between an alkaline diet and some diseases like osteoporosis and cancer?
