What would you do if experts told you to put cannabidiol, or CBD, top of your New Year’s resolution List this year? This non-psychoactive, non-addictive gift from nature does not make you “high” or impair your cognitive function. In fact, it enhances concentration and focus, even aids healing from exercise, exertion, and injury. Study after study proves CBD safe. In response, CBD oil products flood the cannabis market.
With New Year comes a new you. Next year is a chance to reinvigorate yourself, especially your health. This is particularly important during times of pandemic, where a functioning immune system and overall homeostasis might mean the difference between life and death. Studies show CBD with a myriad of essential therapeutic properties, which can both treat disease and help prevent it. This is how:
The body produces inflammation as a response to most harms. Stress causes an inflammatory response. Foreign organisms trigger an inflammatory response. Disease causes inflammation. Even foods have inflammatory effects. Too much inflammation is bad for your health. In fact, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, inflammatory diseases kill more people today than anything else does.
By suppressing your body’s inflammation production and rebalancing your inflammatory response, CBD is able to mitigate how you react to its many triggers. It allows you to regain control of how you respond to harmful situations that trigger your body to produce inflammation. On its own, in acute form, inflammation is good. It tells of a problem, keeps you from worsening it. It is very bad when chronic.
The painkilling properties of CBD are legendary. In fact, using CBD to treat pain is its most common and famous use. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, this cannabinoid is a powerful analgesic, promising pain-relieving action in three important ways. Firstly, it reduces pain perception. Secondly, it relieves the actual pain. Thirdly, it treats the cause of your pain. This works better than prescriptions.
What is more, CBD is not addictive the way opiates and other painkillers are. It does not kill large numbers of people. Further, CBD is effective over the long-term. Your body does not build tolerance toward it the way it does to conventional drugs. It does not require continually adjusting your dose to find relief the way you have to with prescription painkillers. Science proves CBD safe and efficient.
The quality of your sleep is a huge contributing factor to the health of your heart, mind, and body. Getting sufficient shuteye at night, at the very least on most nights, is paramount to boosting overall wellbeing. Sadly, insomnia plagues much of the American population. Statistics claim more than half of adults in the United States struggle to sleep at night. Results are obvious in climbing rates of illness.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, CBD helps to regulate sleeping patterns, returning your cycle to normal. It also treats underlying anxiety, stress, and depression, conditions that keep sleep at bay. At very high levels, studies say between 300 milligrams and 600 milligrams, CBD can have very sedating effects. It makes you sleepy. What is more, it increases sleep duration significantly too.
In contrast to its more famous cannabinoid THC, CBD does not have appetite-stimulating effects. It is not responsible for causing the “munchies” effect so recognizable in cannabis, which might otherwise belie this claim. In fact, the U.S. National Library of Research published a study showing it suppressing appetite and actually helping rats lose weight. It does more than that, though.
CBD stimulates the metabolism of fat, helping you burn it faster. It regulates blood sugar too, helping to prevent spikes and crashes. This has extremely positive effects on treating diabetes, even preventing it. Further, studies show CBD helping to maintain weight loss after losing it. In effect, it helps you shed the weight and keep it off. What is more, it does so naturally, without harmful dieting and supplements.
Fortunately, CBD is widely available. It is inexpensive and easy to find. Many CBD oil products are on offer, from CBD capsules to edibles for pain and even feminine hygiene products. Reasons to include CBD in your life are seemingly endless, with scientific studies regularly adding more. Evidence is already clear and mounting every day. However, there is no reason not to make it your New Year’s resolution.
In fact, studies seem to suggest that daily use of CBD might help to reduce your risk for COVID-19. Since the virus is wreaking havoc worldwide with no signs of slowing down, this might prove a wise health investment. Certainly, CBD will do no harm. Science proves CBD safe, non-addictive, non-deadly, and highly effective at both treating and preventing diseases.
