Sleep: The Forgotten Anti-Inflammatory Tool
Introduction:
When people think of reducing inflammation, they often turn to food or supplements. But one of the most powerful (and free!) tools is often overlooked: quality sleep.
Why Sleep Matters for Inflammation:

Tips for Better Sleep:
Stick to a consistent bedtime and wake-up time.
Avoid caffeine or heavy meals too close to bedtime.
Create a calming routine: read, stretch, or listen to soothing music.
Keep your room dark, quiet, and cool.
Benefits of Restful Sleep:
Improved energy and focus during the day.
Reduced muscle and joint pain.
A stronger immune system.
Faster recovery from exercise or illness.
Conclusion:
Don’t underestimate the power of sleep. By making rest a priority, you give your body one of the best tools to fight inflammation naturally.
