The Mediterranean diet is one such diet. It emphasizes grains, but also emphasizes fruits, vegetables, cheese, yoghurt, and fish, all foods high in lysine and low in arginine. This is generally attributed to omega-3 fatty acids in fish. Fish have a high lysine to arginine ratio. Dairy products also have a high lysine to arginine ratio.
Tip #.2 Balance Arginine rich foods with Lysine. Lysine helps to stop the virus which causes herpes. If you get ample amounts of this amino acid in your diet it can help to reduce the frequency of the symptoms and make healing faster. This is why it is recommended to eat foods that are high in Lysine, or take a Lysine supplement.
