Well, I can tell you that shingles is usually triggered by stress, age and a weakend immune system. We can't help being older but we can live a healthy lifestyle by eating a healthy diet, exercising and practicing stress control. Our immune systems get weaker as we get older so it's more important than ever to get everything right. Above all, we shouldn't continue eating as though we are still teenagers. Eating right will help keep up your immune system.
