Those suffering from chronic pain: eg.

…..are finding relief with CBD. Taking CBD offers pain relief and can even prevent nervous system degeneration. It has been approved in Canada for multiple sclerosis and cancer pain.

CBD doesn’t cause dependence or tolerance, so it’s a great choice for those trying to stay away from opioids.

CBD has been shown to reduce levels of stress and anxiety in those suffering from conditions such as PTSD, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. CBD even reduced the stress and discomfort surrounding public speaking.

CBD has been shown to reduce depression by enhancing both serotonergic and glutamate cortical signaling (both are lacking in those with depression). 

Chronic inflammation is a huge problem in our society that contributes to many chronic diseases including heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, autoimmune disease, and more; according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Diet and lifestyle play a huge part in chronic inflammation but when you are already eating a healthy, nutrient-dense diet and optimizing your lifestyle (getting enough sleep and exercise for example), CBD oil can help. Research shows that CBD oil can reduce chronic inflammation that leads to disease.

Cannabidiol can help maintain healthy blood sugar, stimulates genes and proteins that helps break down fat, and increase mitochondria that helps burn calories.

CBD also encourages the body to convert white fat to brown fat. White fat is the kind of fat we typically think of when we think about body fat. Brown fat is fat that is in small deposits that behaves differently than white fat. Brown fat is said to improve health by enhancing the bodies ability to burn white fat, create heat, and even regulate blood sugar.

Heart disease is at its highest today. In fact, it’s the leading cause of death. A healthy diet and lifestyle is a top priority for heart health, but CBD oil can also help. Cannabidiol reduces stress induced cardiovascular responses, can reduce blood pressure. And that’s decreased heart disease progression.

As mentioned earlier, CBD oil is helpful in preventing oxidative stress and inflammation. Both of these are known to increase heart disease.
