They are very good indicators | | of heart health. The test are cheap and require a simple blood | | test. | | | | FYI: | | | | C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein made in the liver. Increased | levels | in | | the blood are a non-specific signal of inflammation in the body. A CRP | test | | measures the amount of C-reactive protein in the blood, but can indicate | | only the potential presence of inflammation. Additional tests may be | | required to determine the location or cause of the inflammation, if | | appropriate. | | | | Homocysteine is an amino acid produced by the human body and found in | the | | blood. High levels of homocysteine may damage blood vessels, cause blood | | vessel blockages to occur, and cause blood to clot more easily. This can | | lead to vascular problems including heart disease and stroke. You can | reduce | | the homocysteine levels in your body by eating foods containing folate, | also | | called folic acid. These include fruits and leafy green vegetables. If | your | | level of homocysteine is high enough your doctor may recommend folic | acid | | and B vitamin supplements. | | | | | | -- | | "j" ganz @@ | | www.sailnow.com | | | | "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message | | ... | | Go to this website and take the test.
