Stressed and Overworked? Watch Out!

The cold sore virus (herpes simplex virus) is caught by personal contact and once you get it , you will have it for life. It is usually triggered by stress, overwork, a depleted immune system or a shock. Many people who live a hectic lifestyle, do not have a proper nutritious meals or have high stress levels are more prone to outbreaks due to a depleted immune system. Nobody is immune to cold sores and celebrities have been photographed self-consciously trying to cover them up. The average rate is 7 out of 10 people suffer from the virus and some that have it do not even realize it. Herpes Simplex can lie dormant in our immune system and our own body can't make antibodies to fight it off. Other attributes associated with triggering the virus is cold weather, windy weather, menstruation and UV light. When you trigger the virus it travels along the nerve and erupts as a sore, usually around the mouth, around your eyes or in your nostrils. There are treatments you can use in order to help prevent the virus developing into a large blister. However, if your cold sore has already erupted into an unsightly blister try using SoreCold. This remedy is guaranteed and will help in the natural healing process. The best treatment is prevention and this includes sleep to boost your immune system, healthy eating, if out in the sun wear a hat or sunscreen to protect from UV light, correct diet and don't kiss anyone with a cold sore. Make sure that your diet is rich in iron which is found in nuts, seeds, meat and dark green leafy vegetables as well as Vitamin C which assists your body in absorbing iron. Certain other foods which include oats, soy, chocolate, pasta, biscuits and bread may attribute to your cold sore virus because they include the amino acid arginine. To counteract the effects of these foods it is suggested that you take the amino acid lysine.
