Does the Mediterranean diet reduce inflammation?

The Mediterranean diet lowers CRP (C-reactive protein), a marker of systemic inflammation linked with aging and chronic disease.

Explanation

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes olive oil, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and moderate fish. Multiple randomized controlled trials show this diet reduces CRP levels and improves cardiovascular outcomes.

Practical Emphasis

Center your meals around plant foods, olive oil, and fish, with minimal processed foods.

Action Tip

Adopt a Mediterranean-style eating pattern to reduce inflammation and support longevity.
