High CRP levels mean that there is inflammation in your body. To lower inflammation, follow an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. Include foods high in antioxidants including seasonal fruits, and leafy greens. Avoid processed meals, refined carbohydrates, and trans fats, as these can exacerbate inflammation. Foods with anti-inflammatory qualities include turmeric and ginger. Also include whole grains in your diet as eliminating a particular food group is not healthy in long run. Regular exercise, such as walking or yoga, and proper sleep hygiene will help you achieve your aim of lowering inflammation.

Although your thyroid and insulin resistance are normal, the elevated CRP suggests there might be some underlying inflammation. Since you're already following a healthy diet and lifestyle, focusing on anti-inflammatory foods, staying active, and managing stress will help lower CRP levels over time.
Things to Remember:
Add turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon to your meals and drinks for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
Eat fatty fish like salmon or mackerel two times a week, or add chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts to your meals.
Keep eating green vegetables and add winter options like sweet potatoes, beetroots, and sprouts for more fiber.
Drink herbal teas like green tea, chamomile, or peppermint to help with inflammation.
Avoid processed snacks, sugary drinks, and high-glycemic foods to reduce inflammation.
Drink plenty of water, and enjoy warm teas or lemon water during the day.
Keep using olive oil in your cooking and salads for its healthy fats.
Stick with your daily exercise and 10k steps to help manage inflammation.
Choose whole grains like quinoa, barley, and oats instead of refined grains.

Hi
Good afternoon!
High CRP usually could indicate an underlying issue like an infection, or an increased risk of developing certain health conditions. Have you also looked at your cholesterol levels?
The best thing would be to show the reports to a doctor and get an opinion.
It’s great that you are leading an active lifestyle. You can try an anti-inflammatory diet similar to the one that you are eating. But it’s also important to assess the root cause, before cutting down major food groups.
