Alkalinize your Body to cure your Cold Sores by doing Exercises to Reduce Stress
A statistic that may amaze you is that almost 90% of the world's population has the
herpes simplex virus. However, only a small percentage of adults complain about
and seek treatment for this virus from their doctor. There are a variety of medications
on the market which can provide temporary relief. Tablets are often prescribed by
the doctors. Creams are also prescribed which, if applied according to the specified
directions, can treat your HSV – 1 virus externally. These creams, tablets, etc can
provide you with temporary relief but for permanent relief you need to use both
traditional and non traditional approaches.
The pH level in your body should be close to the normal level which is 7.0 and
above. There are many other factors which can prevent your body from being in the
normal pH range. Unhealthy food habits and stress can increase acidity in your body
and make you susceptible to all kinds of diseases. Lack of oxygen or oxygen
deficient bodies are highly prone to diseases. The herpes simplex virus is anaerobic
and it cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. There are numerous ways by which
you can increase oxygen content levels in your body. Exercise is a cost effective
manner of increasing oxygen levels in your body. Exercise in the early morning
hours is recommended because air has comparatively high levels of oxygen.
Exercise should be done systematically so that your body works every muscle group.
This should improve the oxygen flow in your body. Exercise should be done with
frequent breaks in between so as not to add stress on your body, rather than relieve
it. Excessive exercise increases the acidity of your body due to lactic acid build up.
Stress is another very important factor which weakens the body, making it
susceptible to disease. Stress and tension will increase the acidity of your system.
Stress releases many different types of acids and harmful chemicals tin an attempt
to cope with the situation you are in. This is of course useful if you are running away
from a lion or escaping from a burning building. However, chronic stress is very hard
on the body and increases the acidity content in your system.
Herpes simplex virus thrives in acidic and less oxygenated bodies and its attacks are
frequent in when your body is in such a situation. The human body is a precise
machine and it needs to be maintained using common sense and listening to what it
is telling you.
