To prevent latent metabolic (metabolic-related) acidosis, attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.
Behavioral risk factors
- Diet
- Diets (starvation diets)
- Increased food intake of acid-forming foods (meat, fish, eggs, milk, white flour products, fast food, carbonated soft drinks, sugar, coffee, black tea and alcohol) or insufficient intake of base-donating foods (fruits, vegetables, herbs and still mineral water)
- Hyperalimentation
- Micronutrient deficiency (vital substances) – Latent micronutrient deficiency (vital substances), which can lead to a limitation of enzyme capacity and thus to an increase in cellular acids – see micronutrient therapy.
