Ron Put Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Mike, there might be a correlation between salt intake and CRP, but it would seem that it should be the opposite of what you suggest. Technically, higher sodium intake should generate an immune response and it should increase CRP values, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lustgarten Posted March 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 That's what I thought, but my data suggests the opposite may be true for me-higher salt-->higher HDL-->lower hs-CRP. I'm going to monitor my BP, and keep tracking everything else, to make sure I don't optimize 1 variable while messing up others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be other variables. For instance, what is your average potassium intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
