hsCRP is "High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein". It is a measure of inflammation in your body. Most chronic, degenerative diseases (and of course acute or chronic infections) have an inflammatory component in their causation. Maintaining a low hsCRP level (through proper diet) can help lower your risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and many other devastating conditions.
