Good diet is also a very important factor to control herpes. Scientists have found that for herpes infected people it’s benefit to have a diet high in lysine and low in arginine.
So let’s find out what foods are high in lysine and low in arginine.
Recommended Foods: high in lysine and low in arginine
Fish, chicken, beef, lamb, milk, cheese, beans, brewer's yeast, mung bean sprouts and most fruits and vegetables, except for peas.
Not recommended foods
Gelatin, chocolate, carob, coconut, oats, wholewheat and, white flour, peanuts, soybeans, and wheatgerm.
Of course, everything is relative in our world, so don’t take it as an absolute truth. The matter is the scientists continue their discoveries. So try to follow their advices but be careful! I think in any case we have to listen to our body, not only to someone recommendations. If you’d like chocolate that isn’t reccommended please have it at least sometimes! In any case positive emotions are also very important for us.
