    Prone to annoying (and often unsightly) cold sores? Here are a few tips to prevent recurrences:

    •Avoid foods rich in the amino acid arginine: chocolate, cola, beer, grain cereals, seeds, nuts and peas
    •Always use a lip balm with at least SPF 15 sunscreen—summer and winter
    •Don't kiss or shake hands with anyone who has a cold sore
    •Keep your hands clean
