Many people who suffer from warts wonder how they got them in the first place and how they can get rid of them quickly. Others who have had warts and gotten rid of them wonder why they seem to keep coming back. This may be because most people don’t know what causes warts; if they knew, they would know how to develop the immune system to fight warts.
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV), is the virus that causes warts, and with any virus, the best way to fight them is with a strong immune system. Warts are also contagious like all viruses and can be transmitted directly or indirectly. In other words, touching someone else’s wart would transfer the virus directly, and touching something that has been touched by someone who has warts would be how they are transferred indirectly.
Children and young adults are more susceptible to warts because their immune systems are not as strong as those of older adults. So are there things we can do to increase or strengthen our immunity to Human Papillomavirus?
A good place to start is with dietary habits. By eating the foods your body needs to function normally, all of your organs and systems will work at their best. Unfortunately, not many people eat as healthily as they should, it seems that more and more people are eating fast foods that contain no real nutritional value.
Stay away from fast foods, eat high protein foods, eat green vegetables like broccoli, green beans, peas and eat fruits. Stay away from, or at least minimize your intake of coffee, chocolates, and anything else that contains caffeine. Also refrain from eating refined sugars and don’t replace them with refined sugar substitutes, as they can be more harmful than refined sugars.
Instead of drinking coffee or soft drinks with or without sugar, try drinking water. Water acts as a purifying agent and is very helpful in cleansing the body. It seems that nowadays not many people drink enough water, and if you suffer from frequent headaches, it could be a sign that you are not drinking enough water.
Get enough sleep The body normally requires eight hours of sleep per day. Once again, it seems that in today’s fast-paced society, many do not get enough sleep to keep their bodies strong, making them more susceptible to viruses and bacteria. Giving your body the rest it needs can go a long way in fighting infection and disease, including warts.
For those who smoke or drink alcoholic beverages excessively, you should know that you are destroying your immune system. So if you’re prone to warts or get them regularly, and smoke a lot or drink a lot, quit if you want your immune system to help fight warts.
Since all warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and one of the best ways to fight or get rid of them is to use your own body, it makes sense to make your body as healthy as possible so that it will function normally as well. eat right, exercise and get enough rest.
