The Role of Buffers in Establishing a Balance of Homeostasis and Maintaining Health

Abstract: Homeostasis is the body’s ability to self-regulate biological processes. There are several buffer systems in the body that operate cooperatively to maintain health. A buffer system consists of two components, one that acts on its counterpart. In acid-base homeostasis, almost all physiological processes in the body occur as a result of a buffer that allows a solution to tolerate pH changes. Buffers can be used beyond the concept of hydrogen ion donors or acceptors. A body consists of numerous components and the… Show more

“…Similarly, in physics, entropy is often associated with energy dissipation, making it challenging to reconcile this notion with the concept of entropy as a measure of disorder in statistical mechanics [24]. Moreover, in medicine, entropy is often misinterpreted as a mere indicator of disease progression, overlooking its crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis [25][26][27][28].…”

“…To enrich the buffering capacity of lifestyle, it is helpful to combine medicine and lifestyle, which can reduce entropic overload and maintain equilibrium between potential energy and entropy. This equilibrium is essential for maintaining homeostasis and activating the immune system [48].…”

“…Lifestylopathy emphasizes the equilibrium between anabolic and catabolic processes to regulate homeostasis [8]. The catabolic process, driven by spontaneity and entropy, contrasts with the non-spontaneous nature of the anabolic process, which aims to construct potential by synthesizing macromolecules rich in function and information.…”
