There are several natural remedies that can be used to reduce inflammation overnight. In America, our diets, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise often cause our bodies to carry excess inflammation. We can combat this through a variety of natural remedies, including intermittent fasting, stretching, watching our diets, eating fruits and vegetables, getting the right amount of sleep, exercising, and icing inflamed body parts.

Intermittent Fasting

how to reduce inflammation

Intermittent fasting is one of the most effective ways to reduce inflammation in the body. In our culture, we often eat several times per day without allowing our food to digest. This can create excess inflammation in the body. Intermittent fasting is the practice of waiting an extended period of time before eating again. It allows your food to fully digest and reduces inflammation in the body. 

Joint Care

Use a heating pad or take a soothing warm bath to loosen up stiff joints and muscles and reduce inflammation. Use your entire hand rather than just some of your fingers to open doors and lift heavier objects whenever feasible. Use assistive contraptions to open bottles and jars to avoid straining your fingers and hands. Taking general care of your joints is a great way to reduce bodily inflammation.
