You can’t completely prevent acidosis.

However, there are some things you can do to lower your risk.

Respiratory acidosis
You can do the following to reduce your risk of respiratory acidosis:
Take sedatives as prescribed and never mix them with alcohol.

Stop smoking. Smoking can damage your lungs and make breathing less effective.
Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity can make it harder for you to breathe.

Metabolic acidosis
You can do the following to reduce your risk of metabolic acidosis:
Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and other fluids.

Keep control of your diabetes. If you manage your blood sugar levels well, you can avoid ketoacidosis.

Stop drinking alcohol. Chronic drinking can increase the buildup of lactic acid.
