Tip of the Month from Ursula
This simple blood test can reveal hidden inflammation!
Chronic inflammation as measured by hs-CRP has been linked to:
*heat attack & stroke
*diabetes & obesity
*metabolic disease
*liver disease
A high hs-CRP can cause chronic fatigue, poor sleep, and increased frequency of infections.

*Avoid prolonged cooking of vegetables which will destroy Vitamin C
*Eat fewer high-carb foods, as these can reduce your body's ability to
absorb Vitamin C
*Drinking plenty of water can help your body absorb Vitamin C better
