Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection that affects the cranial nerves that originate in the brain. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that also cases chickenpox. The virus can stay dormant for many years in the human body, which is why anyone who has had chickenpox in the past is at the risk of developing shingles. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2018, there are an estimated one million cases of shingles reported every year in the U.S. Moreover, CDC states that around one in every three people in the U.S. will develop shingles in their lifetime. The risk of shingles increases with age, with most cases reported among people over 40 years old. This is mainly due to weakening of the immune system on account of increased stress and inadequate intake of essential nutrients to keep immunity strong.
