C-Reactive Protein
This is a nice review of CRP from a cardiology journal. CRP is a marker of inflammation that has only recently been given the attention is deserves. I have found in my office that exercise and avoiding refined carbs are powerful ways to lower CRP levels. Most of the research now with CRP is focusing on current and new drugs’ abilities to lower CRP. News flash–who needs drugs when lifestyle changes have already been proven to work??
