-Sleep more. Try to sleep 7-8 hours per night in an effort to keep yourself well, hence, warding off inflammation!

-Get a massage or try acupuncture. Both stimulate the body and gets blood flowing from head to toe. Like exercise, getting the blood to flow is a critical part of healthy living.

-Other foods. Turmeric (Something found in curry) and ginger can help combat inflammation.
