⏺Stress can contribute to inflammation. Finding ways to manage stress, such as acupuncture, meditation, and yoga, can help.

⏺Getting enough sleep is important for reducing inflammation and promoting overall health.

⏺Certain supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, and ginger, have anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce inflammation.
