a pH indicator
A buffer resists pH change.
A buffer solution.
Basically, it's because the fluids you take in all have different pH's. Naturally, this will change the pH values of your body. This is, obviously, not healthy for your body, so cells buffer the acidic or basic fluids you take in in order to keep you healthy.
The pH depends on the ingredients.
A substance which resists changes in pH is called a buffer.
They are called pH indicators.
This is a pH indicator.

In a reaction of an acid with a base the pH changes to a value that is closer to 7.
If pH levels in your body are too high or too low, the body will not function correctly. Ideally, the pH of the blood should be maintained at 7.4. If the pH drops below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, death may occur. Fortunately, we have buffers in the blood to protect against large changes in pH.
