Question:
Can The Foods That You Eat (or don't eat) Act As Cold Sore Remedies?
Answer:
The food you eat makes up the body you have so the answer is yes. Certain foods can bring on cold sores and others can help hold them off.
I talk a lot about preventative cold sore remedies, I mean one of hte best ways to remedy a cold sore is to not get one in the first place right?
The herpes virus is the root of cold sores. A virus particle enters a nerve cell at the surface and creates a new virus, then it explodes the cell to release this new virus which creates the cold sore blisters.
Argenine, found in many foods is a protein fraction and is vital in the production of new cold sore outbreaks. So avoiding foods high in argenine can effectively work as one of these preventative cold sore remedies.
Here are some common foods that are high in argenine. These foods should be avoided by someone who has cold sores often and should never be eaten during a cold sore outbreak.
- Chocolate (ouch, i know)
- Fruits such as grapes, oranges, tangerines
- Tree and bush nuts
- Shellfish including clams and oysters
- Flax, sesame and most other seeds
- Grains such as wheat and oats
Avoiding these foods is one of many natural cold sore remedies you can use to help with your problem. To view the guide on natural cold sore remedies that eliminates cold sores forever in 3 days click here.
