Cut CRP with Fiber

by Kelley Herring

A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical a Nutrition examined the relationship between c-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation and a predictor of future heart disease and diabetes, with dietary fiber.

The study evaluated the body composition, CRP, diet and physical activity of 524 people. The researchers found that CRP was inversely associated with total fiber in the diet.

Fit fiber into your diet by eating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables and try these filling fiber-full fixes.
