| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| GG (Normal) | Normal | Normal inflammatory response. Maintain a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet (omega-3s, colourful produce). |
| GC (Carrier) | Low impact | Slightly elevated inflammatory tendency. Favour anti-inflammatory foods (oily fish, olive oil, turmeric, berries) and limit ultra-processed foods and excess sugar. |
