#1: Ditch Processed Fats and Eat to Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation — often caused by excess sugar consumption, processed fats, and fried foods — “plays a critical role in CVD.

Avoid foods that are high in processed fats and sugars, choosing leaner meats such as chicken and fish over red meats. Other foods, such as nuts, fish oils, oats and green teas have all been shown to be beneficial too. Finally, consuming more fiber, especially when it comes from fruits, vegetables and beans, is another effective way.

#2: Exercise
#3: Lose Weight
#4: Monitor (Just Monitor) Your Alcohol Intake
#5: Quit Smoking

The striking part of this discovery is that autoimmune reactions responsible for chronic inflammation throughout the body were quelled by consumption of two grams (~half a teaspoon) of baking soda in water for two weeks in healthy humans.
