1 Spoon Before Bed Helps Calm Inflammation While You Sleep | Dr. Mandell

Inflammation is a normal part of healing, but when inflammatory signaling stays elevated for too long, it can affect multiple systems in the body. Ongoing inflammatory stress is linked with changes in blood vessel function, metabolic balance, joint comfort, immune regulation, and even cognitive clarity. Supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate inflammation helps maintain circulation, tissue recovery, and overall resilience. In this video, you’ll learn a simple nightly habit that combines natural compounds known to support inflammatory balance. Turmeric contains curcumin, a plant compound studied for its role in influencing inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF kappa B. Black pepper provides piperine, which enhances curcumin absorption. A small amount of olive oil supports uptake of fat soluble compounds, and plain Greek yogurt acts as a gentle carrier while also providing beneficial bacteria that support gut balance, which is closely tied to immune and inflammatory regulation. About 30 to 60 minutes before bed, mix one tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt with one quarter teaspoon turmeric powder, a tiny pinch of black pepper, and a few drops of olive oil. This approach is not about a single large dose, but about giving the body consistent support for its natural inflammatory balance and overnight recovery processes. 📚 Research References Aggarwal BB, Harikumar KB.
