    Common symptoms of metabolic acidosis include fatigue, anorexia,
confusion, tachycardia, tachypnea, and dehydration.  

      There are also health problems associated with the loss of minerals used to neutralize the increased acid levels, which can negatively affect the teeth, bones, hair, fingernails, skin, and gums. Acidification can also lead to overall fatigue, sensitivity to cold, and a weakened immune system.

       Dietary-induced metabolic acidosis is a major health concern for Westernized societies, because Westernized diets typically include acidic or acidifying elements such as meat, cereals, coffee, tea, alcohol, and sugars, and not enough alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables            Foods with high fat or high protein composition tend to be acidifying agents, while foods such as fruits and vegetables tend to increase alkaline levels within the body
