If you're struggling with weight loss and maybe your blood sugar levels are not well balanced, here are my seven tips to lower blood sugar.
Why You Should Avoid Arginine
Some of the worst foods for shingles have an amino acid called L-Arginine. I'm going to give you the list of the ones to avoid because these foods will help with the replication of the virus which of course is not something that you want to have happening when you're going through a shingles attack. So here are some of the foods that are not necessarily bad foods but bad if you're going through that viral infection with shingles or other herpes types of viruses.
Worst Foods for Shingles
Number one is tomatoes. As well as wheat germ and brussels sprouts. All high in that L-Arginine. Nuts as well as grapes, pumpkin seeds, blackberries. Again these are healthy foods, but not when you have shingles and you're fighting the virus. Chocolate has a lot of refined sugar as well and is going to be higher in that L-Arginine. Asparagus as well. So it's something that if you are going through a shingles outbreak you do not want to be consuming too much of these foods.
Best Foods for Shingles
However, some foods are better and they are higher in Lysine. Lysine is another amino acid which helps to fight that virus, the herpes zoster virus. So some of the better foods high in lysine also happen to be great for your hair, skin and nails; meats, fish, eggs and grass-fed dairy products all higher in that lysine. Apples and pears are also all great, apricots, avocados, kale, beets, celery, green beans, papaya and mango tend to be much better in terms of lysine content. Now always keep in mind that when you're eating fruits and vegetable produce, availability is going to be a big thing. What grows around you in the season in which you find yourself. That's what you're going to go towards, not things that have been shipped from other parts of the world. You're going to eat your local diet and pick from this list as much as you can higher in that lysine to fight off that shingles.
