At first glance it may seem that the very concept of a herpes diet does not have any scientific justification. Is it possible to control outbreaks of herpes and permanent colds on the lips with the help of food? !! After all, even all kinds of medications for herpes are difficult to work ... It turns out that it is possible to contain this virus with the help of a diet against herpes. And this is a proven fact!.

Namely: not so long ago, researchers found that the herpes virus is very sensitive to such a substance as arginine (one of the amino acids that is a part of proteins). If arginine in the body becomes many - the herpes "wakes up" and "blooms" with a violent color on the lips (or on other mucous membranes). But a diet with herpes would be one-sided, if there was not another substance that can also effectively contain the herpes virus. There was such a substance - it is lysine, another amino acid. If we get about 3000 mg of lysine daily, we can be sure that the herpes will not manifest itself.

Than to eat, that the herpes did not wake up Nutrition at herpes should contain the products rich with a lysine and poor arginine. Among them: chicken, flounder, shrimp, natural yogurt and skimmed milk. For example, only 150 g of chicken meat contains a daily norm of lysine, flounder and shrimp is enough to eat 200 g. But in milk and yoghurt, lysine is less - to gain a norm of 3000 mg of lysine, you will have to drink 5 cups of milk per day.

In addition to lysine, food with herpes welcomes any food and dishes that can support our immunity. After all, herpes is a virus, and with the cells of the virus, it is the cells of immunity. This should be taken into account in the diet against herpes - and saturate the diet with vegetables rich in phytoncids. Among such products are onions, garlic, lemons, ginger.

What to exclude from the diet to forget about herpes If you do not want herpes to endlessly appear on your lips, you should exclude from the diet (or at least drastically reduce consumption) such foods as chocolate, nuts, gelatin. And also - sunflower seeds.

All these products are rich in arginine and should not be included in the herpes diet..

Legumes and whole grains also contain a large amount of arginine, but it is impossible to completely refuse whole-grain products, this can cause harm to health. Therefore, these two components of nutrition should be excluded from the diet only during the outbreak of herpes, in order to suppress its manifestations. At the same time, cereals should be one of the main components of your diet.
