Inflammation is the key to many "conditions". Inflammation stimulates an immune response.

C-reactive protein is a protein that is found at elevated levels in your blood whenever your body experiences inflammation. Put another way, C-reactive protein is a highly sensitive marker that indicates how much inflammation exists in your body.
Many people associate inflammation with various sprain/strain injuries. Though a swollen joint is created by inflammation, the reality is that your body is always in a state of inflammation, just to varying degrees depending on all of your food and lifestyle choices. That's right - some of the foods that you eat may be causing chronic, low-grade inflammation in your circulatory system that is slowly contributing to injured blood vessels and heart disease.
Generally, nutrient-rich plant foods like vegetables, legumes, and fruits help to reduce inflammation throughout your body, while animal foods (including dairy) that are cooked at high temperatures tend to increase inflammation in all of your organ systems.
C-reactive protein serves as a marker for inflammation, but it also appears to play direct roles in increasing the probability of developing heart disease. More specifically, C-reactive protein increases the rate of plaque buildup in your arteries, as well as the likelihood of these plaques breaking apart. C-reactive protein also increases the risk of your arteries narrowing and your blood clotting up.
