Chicken pox: You cannot transmit herpes zoster per se. If the person with you are in contact has not had chicken pox or chicken pox vaccination s/he could get chicken pox from exposure to shingle, as both diseases are caused by the same virus. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
