you might need to replace some of the salts that your body loses through sweat. These salts‚ or electrolytes‚ are found in most sports drinks. What are the advantages of a sports drink over water?

For humans they must maintain an internal temperature of 36.7OC (this is the set point for the internal environment of a human to remain at homeostasis state).

too much acid is called acidosis. Acidosis happens when the kidneys and the lungs could not keep up your body’s pH in balance. Many of the body’s processes produce acid. For example‚ the lungs and the kidneys can usually compensate for slightly pH imbalances; however the problems with lungs and kidneys can causes to excess acid in our body.
