The most painful and annoying sores to get around and in your mouth are cool sores. One of the best ways to prevent and treat cold sore outbreaks would be with an important amino acid called lysine. Lysine is an amino acid your body needs to benefit absorb calcium so you can have strong bones, healthy teeth, hair, and skin, as well as proper collagen formation. Lysine also helps control the amount of another amino acid in your body called arginine which is an amino acid in your body that replicated the herpes simplex viruses which cause more icy sore outbreaks. By taking lysine each day you will help control the amount of arginine your body is absorbing therefore controlling the amount of cold sore outbreaks you get to very few to none at all which I say is a defiant plus.
Now some ways to reduce the amount of arginine in your diet is by avoiding foods and drinks such as coffee, caffeinated beverages, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oats, grains, and other sweets. However, you do not want to completely prefer arginine from your dieting because it is another amino acid your body does need to stay healthy and develop properly. Lysine on the other you will defiantly want more of to help inhibit the herpes viruses and control the amount of arginine your body gets so you will defiantly want to intake more food and drinks such as milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, red meats, and fish.
I do realize cutting out foods and drinks containing arginine in them may be hard to do such as your coffee and chocolate and taking in more foods and drinks with lysine in them may be hard to do is you have a dairy allergy so there is a few alternatives you can do. The first one would be to take a lysine supplement once a day or a couple times a week. The second alternative would be to simply go to an herbal store or health food store and pick up a product called Shapely Lysine Cold Sore Treatment which is a simple cream or ointment you keep onto your lips a few times a day to help prevent and treat cold sore outbreaks. The way to heal and prevent a cool sore outbreak is to reduce your exposure to the sun since the sun is one of the main reasons you could be getting cold sore outbreaks to begin with, or simply establish on a lip balm before you go outside that has sunscreen in it to help protect your lips from getting to much sun exposure. The fourth and last alternative I know of to help prevent cold sore outbreaks is to reduce the amount of stress you have in your life be taking a moment to invent a couple of calming tea to drink such as chamomile. I think all and all though taking a lysine supplement each day or using a lysine ointment on your lips or wherever it is on your mouth your get the cold sore outbreak is the best way to treat and prevent them from occurring.
Now those of you wondering what the best lysine supplements are to take to help prevent and treat a cold sore outbreak are you’re in luck because I know some.
