    It has nothing to do with diet. In addition to drug or disease interference, there are two factors that can cause acid and base changes in the body of normal people: respiration and metabolism. Slowing down or not breathing will increase the carbon dioxide in the body, thereby lowering the pH of the blood, causing acidosis. Patients with bronchitis and asthma are prone to acidosis; too frequent or deep breathing will reduce carbon dioxide in the body and increase the pH , Cause alkalosis, cirrhosis or people taking aspirin are prone to alkalosis.
