Here is the blog I wrote for this (because it's a BIG answer): https://goo.gl/9rPuJt

Here is a cheat sheet:

Avoid inflammatory foods:
- Trans fats
- Sugar
- White bread (which basically breaks down in to sugar)
- Alcohol
- Are you making a sad face yet? Don’t worry, it’s not fun at first, but you will feel better. 
- Milk and other dairy products
- MSG
- Gluten (which is just all the other bread)
- Canola Oil, or other cheap vegetable oils
- Artificial additives
- Processed grains: white flour, etc. 

Eat inflammatory reducing foods!

- Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sardines) or if you don’t like fish take cod oil supplements
- Dark, leafy greens (kale, spinach, etc.)
- Nuts, almonds, walnuts (great for snacks so you don’t eat other crap when you are on the go, like if you work a 12 hr. shift or something)  
- Colorful vegetables (bell peppers, eggplant, Brussel sprouts)
- Legumes, black beans, pinto beans
- Beets (they taste like dirt, but they expand your capillaries and make you feel amazing!!! Juice them though, don’t eat them like an apple. Yuck!)
- Ginger (great for your stomach and digestion)
- Turmeric (great for inflammation. People use this as a natural alternative to Advil)
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries

Sleep Prep

-Turn off all electronic devices or get blue light blocking glasses (really just orange glasses: http://geni.us/4488)
- Epsom salt bath
- calming TV shows, books, etc. 

Sleep Sleep:

- black out your room
- white noise, ear plugs, eye covers
- 65-70 degrees F/19-21 C (I think. I'm American)
