Basic Home Remedies Cold Sores Would Object To

Getting Rid Of Cold Sores

Cold sores are caused from the herpes simplex virus, which is present on the skin of most people. There are two types. Type 1 is the kind that is found on the face, lips, inside the mouth, nose and eyes. Type 2 is usually found in the genital region. Both types are highly contagious.



People, who eat a poor daily diet, lead a stressful life, and have low immunities, are more susceptible to getting them.

Cold Sores Can Be Prevented Through Healthy Diet

Eating processed foods on a daily basis can literally make us ill. Overtime our body’s resistance becomes low and can’t fight off illness. The body needs a steady stream of vitamins to maintain ultimate health.

Healthy eating would be considered five servings of whole, raw fruits and vegetables a day, and plenty of fiber rich foods found in whole grains and legumes.

If our body is not getting a steady stream of nutritious foods, is it any wonder that we break out with allergies, cold sores, eczema, and other skin related conditions? Are we eating the healthy foods our body needs to stay strong and vigorous? We can fight off cold sores by building our body’s immune system.

Easy Healthy Recipes To Build The Bodies Immune System

A strong body needs fresh, raw, live foods. Dark leafy greens and sprouts are an important part of any diet. You should eat at least one serving of dark greens and sprouts in the form of a raw salad every single day.

Kale, mustard greens, swiss chard, and spinach are all excellent greens that are filled with the life-giving properties called chlorophyll. When you feed your body live foods, it will rejuvenate and grow new skin cells causing you to look and feel younger.

In the morning for breakfast nothing beats organic fruit. Fruit of any kind should be eaten first thing in the morning. Mix and match your fruits and make a fruit bowl for breakfast or a wholesome snack.

Take a handful of grapes, a sliced apple, a sliced banana and put them in a bowl. Now savor the wonderful flavors and juices of these fruits together. Enjoy the taste of natural sugar from these fruits.

Eating breakfast foods such as pop tarts, frozen white-floured waffles, and sugary laden boxed cereals will start our day off on the wrong track. These kinds of foods make us hungry sooner and make us crave more refined sugar foods throughout the day.

That’s because these types of foods are only empty calories with minimal nutrition in them.

Hearty and healthful dinner meals would be fiber based with vegetables or small amounts of meat. Brown rice stir-fries, vegetable stir fries, lentils with whole wheat bread on the side, and beans and cornbread are all nutritious meals. Don’t forget the dark leafy green salad on the side.

If you are serious about building your immunity through food, and you want to prevent cold sores from coming back, it starts with natural, whole foods. You can base your meals on fiber rich foods like brown rice, beans, lentils and whole grain pasta, and then add more ingredients to that base.

To help keep you focused on your diet plans, make out a weeks worth of meals, what you will need, and shop accordingly for them.

Have fun creating your delicious creations or get online and type in the keywords for what you want to make and tons of great recipes will come up. Use these recipes as guides in the kitchen.

I typed the keywords “brown rice recipes” and tons of recipes came up. The general rule for building a good defense against sickness is to eat at least half of your food intake raw.
