Acids have a ph of 6 and below whole bases have a ph of 8 and above. If a human has to much acid in their stomach they can take a pill that will lower it back to its normal ph level
An example of a base that humans use in day to day life is things such as cleaners, a strong base is beneficial to humans in this way because it can dissolve grease and protein. On the other hand acids are very important as well because strong acids can be found in the human stomach, we would not be able to digest food without this acid presence
