1. Fiber
Fiber lowers C-reactive protein (CRP). This protein is a marker used by doctors to help diagnose heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of arthritis. Adding fiber to your diet is extremely important on many levels.
Add chia seeds, whole grains (not wheat) breads, oatmeal, brown or wild rice (not white), and red, kidney or pinto beans to your diet. As a side benefit, you’ll get folic acid and some trace elements important for good health.
