No. The body is dependent on a very specific pH value to stay alive, so it's very good at regulating and maintaining this value. Pretty much regardless of what you eat or drink.
The pH of human blood is about 7.4.
The pH of the blood plasma is 7.35-7.45
Proteins are organic compounds that are made of amino acids. Proteins are very important in maintaining fluid and PH Balance. High protein foods are acid forming by nature and their intake causes Acid Ph. Thus Balanced protein intake is essential for maintaining balanced PH of body. Protein is a part of all the body fluids. Its high intake can cause blockages in blood.

Buffers are important because they control the PH or "acidic" balance.
It helps to maintain ph balance in our body
Slightly basic
Homeostasis keeps the balance in your internal environment. Maintaining homeostasis in the body is done through three vital organs; the kidneys, liver and brain. These regulate the temperature, iron content in our blood, retention and production of energy and overall blood composition. The pH is important because it measures the acidity or basicity of a solution, in which the homeostasis can do its job of maintaining the balance of your internal environment. When a pH level is high or low is a solution it then causes and reaction in which the homeostasis has to balance out.
Body chemistry requires certain pH levels or the chemistry does not proceed properly. If the pH levels get too far out of adjustment, you get sick.

Because that is what is needed for maintaining homeostasis in the body. Our blood is slightly alkaline in order to do its job properly. If the blood were more acidic, with a lower pH level, we would be prone to more diseases.
Not all parts of the body are neutral: the cells lining the stomach produce HCl acid that is very acidic, and contrastingly the small intestine contains bile fluids that are alkaline in nature. But, maintaining a specific pH is very important to the structure of proteins in the body and so blood pH must remain between 7.35-7.45 otherwise many blood proteins such as haemoglobin will not correctly function. This is because the affinity of the substrate for the active site is altered at any pH.
When there is too much CO2 it combines with H2O to make carbonic acid. It also disassociates into 3 hydrogen ions and this raises the pH in the blood.
