Hi Blogger
I am hoping that everybody had a happy new year.
Today I will be giving tips to prevent cold sores
1) Stay On Red Alert
An estimated eight in ten people in the UK alone will wind up harbouring the herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores, with the soft mucus membranes of your lips being the most likely point of entry. The Virus is highly contagious, however you might not even know it's hiding there, so stay on Defcon 1 throughout winter is your best tactic.
2) Identify the Target
Once it's in, the herpes virus infiltrates your skin cells and replicates, infecting your nerve endings. The most obvious sign it's ready to come out of hiding is an itch or tingly sensation and tiny swelling on your lips. The moment you suspect any swelling on your lip, apply well-wrapped ice to prevent the virus from spreading to surrounding cells.
3) Lock It down
Any time you're under stress, your cortisol levels spike, weakening your immune system and making you more susceptible to cold sores. When you're working around the clock dose up on vitamin D3 immuace Extra (£10 vitabiotics.com0 packs the optimum amount to keep the virus well contained.
4) Feed your defences
An amino acid called lysine is your weapon of mass prevention; the University of Maryland research found it has antiviral properties, reducing the risk of cold sore outbreaks. Red meat is rich in the stuff but for easy, everyday rations you can hit the three egg omelette for the same effect.
5) Weather The storm
If the virus makes it to the surface, it forms blisters that burst then scab over- your cold sore secret is officially out in the open. to mop up the damage, apply an over the-counter cream with at least 5% aciclovir five times a day and take ibuprofen to kill the pain. In four to six days it will be oral history
