I am a 51-year old female.  I am very active, lifting weights 4 to 5 times a week.  I run 3 miles twice a week.  My sister was diagnosed with Lupus 19 years ago at age 23.  My doctor just told me my ANA level is 1:160.  How can I lower that level naturally with foods?
Good evening mam. ANA is an autoantibody that is an antibody produced by your immune system. It is going to be present throughout your life. You can lower it with foods or even medicines. BT yes, saying that it is not necessary that all ANA +ve patients will develop lupus. 1-5 % of general population can have ANA +ve without any symptoms. Considering your family history, just watch out for the symptoms if any. Don't chase ANA and increase the stress in your life... Hope the information was useful
