C-Reactive Protein by Scott Deron

C-Reactive Protein by Scott Deron

This title contains everything you need to know about CRP - a powerful new indicator for heart-disease risk. Why do half of all heart attacks and strokes occur in people with normal cholesterol levels? Even if you've lowered your cholesterol to well within a safe range, you may still be at high risk for cardiovascular disease if your C-reactive protein levels - or CRP - are high. This newly discovered measure of inflammation in the body is being hailed as twice as important as cholesterol in predicting your risk of heart disease. Lipid testing is not enough - learn how to lower your CRP levels with the help of this groundbreaking guide.The American Heart Association and the Centers for Disease Control now recommend that some 40 million Americans have their CRP levels tested as part of their regular physical. Yet so many of us are unsure just exactly what CRP is. This is the first comprehensive consumer book to fully explain CRP. It demystifies this 'new cholesterol' and lays out a clear, step-by-step program to help you take full control of your cardiovascular health. Written by an expert in cardiology, "C-reactive Protein" reveals: how CRP affects artery disease; how to tell if you're at risk for high levels of CRP; how to have your CRP levels tested through a basic blood test; how to keep your CRP levels under control through proper nutrition, supplements, exercise, and, when necessary, medication; vital advice on what to do if your CRP levels are high; and, much more.
