Let’s be real: some days, just getting through the day feels like a win. If you’re dealing with inflammation, fatigue, or stress, the idea of overhauling your lifestyle can feel completely overwhelming. But here’s the good news—you don’t need to go all-in overnight.

In fact, the best anti-inflammatory routines are the ones you’ll actually stick with. So today, I’m sharing my favorite lazy girl hacks—simple, doable shifts that support your body without the all-or-nothing burnout.

1. Start your day with warm lemon water

It takes 30 seconds and helps hydrate, support digestion, and gently alkalize the body. Bonus: it feels like a ritual (without much effort).

2. Swap your afternoon coffee for a calming tea

Herbal teas like tulsi, ginger, or chamomile reduce inflammation and anxiety. You’ll still get that cozy, comforting feeling—just without the crash.

3. Keep a "calm snack" on hand

Instead of reaching for chips or cookies, try a combo of berries and almonds. Antioxidants + healthy fats = brain + body support on the go.

4. Try 3 deep breaths before every meal

Sounds simple because it is. This activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which improves digestion and lowers cortisol. Total win.

5. Use the “one upgrade” rule

When grocery shopping, just upgrade one item each time. Buy organic berries instead of conventional. Or swap vegetable oil for avocado oil. One small change > trying to fix it all at once.

You don’t have to change your whole life to feel better.
