was ist der cap wert im blut — what can you do yourself?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a non-specific marker of inflammation. Elevated levels can result from acute or chronic inflammation, but also from lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, or poor sleep. What you can do yourself: An anti-inflammatory diet (e.g., Mediterranean diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and omega-3s), regular exercise, adequate sleep, stress management, and weight normalization can help lower CRP. However, CRP alone is not diagnostic. Persistently high levels require medical evaluation, as they may indicate infection, autoimmune disease, or cardiovascular risk. Home tests (e.g., from MyBody-X) can provide a clue but do not replace clinical assessment. Evidence: Lifestyle effects on CRP are supported by strong human studies (e.g., REDUCE-IT, PREDIMED), but individual responses vary. Rating: human-moderate.
