Blood levels of both CRP and IL-6 are often elevated in patients with heart disease, indicating an increased risk for heart attack. Although investigators studied the effect of vitamin E on diabetes patients, they found that both diabetics and healthy people benefited from taking the vitamin. This study shows that vitamin E lowers CRP significantly in both diabetics and nondiabetics. One must not forget that the healthy eating plan is the central key here.
Exercise is also the other wonderful item that synergizes the benefits of the healthy eating plan.
DO NOT just rely on vitamin E or other beneficial substances such as garlic to reduce your heart disease risk.
