Herpes Simplex Virus 1
There are some foods you can eat to help yourself and get rid of herpes sores so you can quit obsessing about it!
Diet is really important when it comes to herpes sores care. What you eat has a major effect on the healing of your herpes sores. You want to eat foods rich in Lysine. Eat food with a lot of protein, like: Chicken, fish, red meat, cheese, yogurt, lentils
There are also foods that you should refrain from eating if you are cold sore prone. If you have a diet that contains a lot of arginine (this protein takes up the space Lysine needs) then that means you don’t have enough lysine to fight the virus. Stay away from foods, like: grains (wheats, oats, etc), nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts), chocolate, shellfish
Watching your diet and food intake is a natural way to approach the prevention of herpes and as well as a natural way to deal with herpes sores when you get them.
I know herpes sores can be embarrassing and painful but you want to try to think as positively as you can to avoid getting down on yourself. It is important to remain optimistic because this will keep you feeling healthier and the more positive thinking you do the better you will feel.
It is known that herpes sores can come on when your body becomes tired and weak. Remaining optimistic will help you to stay confident so you can take proper care of yourself.
