L-lysine offers hope for fighting Herpes

Done Right, L-lysine offers hope for fighting Herpes,
but not sweet teeth

We’ve all been bombarded with the advantages of eating legumes, whole grains and nuts. They’re right up there with fruits and veggies these days to help our hearts, and all around wellbeing. Health conscious people everywhere are eating them daily, like never before. Even if they don’t really like them. Even while they’re dreaming of brownies and cupcakes and everything sweet. We do it because legumes, whole grains and nuts are in their own, separate category of healthiness, and we want that benefit.

If you’re a health conscious person who suffers with herpes, maybe you’ve tried L-lysine to combat the outbreak frequency and symptom severity of herpes. If you’ve had no luck, there’s some important info about how L-lysine works that might change everything. Tests do show that Lysine, both oral and topical, can reduce the severity and frequency of herpes. So why not for you?

The problem may be a separation issue. If you’re taking L-lysine orally, it has to be taken on an empty stomach. There’s a reason for this, a very good reason, especially if you’re a health nut. Another amino acid, arginine interferes with lysine’s effect on the herpes simplex virus. Foods that are rich sources of arginine are legumes, whole grains and nuts.

Are you putting this all together? The very foods that promote health for your heart may be interfering with your L-lysine effectiveness. So separate your remedies. Fill your days with legumes, whole grains and nuts but save L-lysine for bedtime, filling your nights with healing while you sleep. Just beware of those nagging visions of sugar plums and chocolate swirls dancing in your head – day and night.
