Exercise and CRP Levels

According to studies cited by Mark Liponis, MD, Medical Director at Canyon Ranch in his 2007 book  UltraLongevity, exercise can help calm an overactive immune response and  lower CRP levels.  Furthermore, studies show that rhythmic exercise is particularly effective, and in one of the studies swimmers and rowers had the lowest CRP levels.

Some other suggestions for rhythmic exercise:

rebounding on a mini-trampoline
jogging
walking
dancing - swing, polka, English country, contra-dancing, ballroom
tennis
biking
eliptical machine
kayaking
jump rope
