Elevated hs-CRP roughly doubles your risk of heart disease. Here's a few things people do to lower it:

* Eat anti-inflammatory foods (e.g., blueberries) or use cooking techniques that produce fewer PAHs (e.g., braising or steaming rather than sauteing or broiling)

* Drink less alcohol

* Medications (e.g., statins and GLP-1s also have anti-inflammatory benefits)
