Plus- can binge eating over the holidays make you fat? How to curtail the gain and what really is it about?
CBD hemp oil has a wide array of health benefits and uses, including but not limited to pain reduction, reducing inflammation, reducing anxiety, fighting chronic diseases, elevating mood, protecting the immune system, aiding sleep disorders, and. CBD oil can also be used in many different ways and has a variety of applications for natural health. CBD (cannabidiol) has been in social media everywhere the passed 2 years as the medical model for pain control has been rapidly looking for answers away from opiates and are looking for a more natural method with far less side effects and avoiding the hassles of addiction. In tandem has been the rise in medical marijuana acceptance and research showing it’s potential benefits. But other than CBD coming from the same cannabis plant, what is it, what does it do, what doesn’t it d, and is it safe? Dr. Michael Brandon, The Mad Scientist Jim Goetz, and Chantea Goetz delve into this inquiry. CBD is one of over 100 cannbinoids in the cannabis plant, and they all appear to affect our endocannibinoid system differently based on how many of each type is present. CBD and THC are the 2 most well known of these molecules. THC is the primarily hallucenegenic compound which causes the “high” people get with injesting the plant, though it does have several other purposes. THC also helps as the anti tumor aid, helps with deep sleep, and gives a dopamine release. CBD is the primary anti inflammatory, pain reliever, it helps with nausea, depression, anxiety, and balances THC’s effect. When put together with the other cannabiniods, they appear to stimulate and protct bone and brain health, lower muscle spcisity, prevent seizures and a plethora of other neurological, mental, and musculoskeletal issues. CBD is already being found in several different forms from oils, pastries, patches, creams. Even Coca cola appears to be getting into the CBD market with some research in Canada. One major issue CBD faces is how it is very unregulated at this time, so it’s a little bit of buyer’s faith in what they are getting. For example, some brands state using hemp seed oil, but there is very insignificant amounts of CBD in the hemp stalk; it is found primarily in the flower. So ultimately with the FIT team, we care about what the research says, so what does CBD do, what does it seem like it may do, and what has it been shown to not do? Does- helps seizures, visceral and musculoskeletal pain, depression, gives very few and mild side effects when any (usually fatigue) especially compared to most medications, decrease opiod use Might do- assist with liver damage and alcohlism, PTSD, general fear like public speaking or athletic performace anxiety, decrease opiod dependacey.
Doesn’t do- doesn’t get you the euphoric high or super powers, forms a habit or decreases tolerance over time.
During the holiday season, many of us often gain quite a bit of weight. Is this due to the day or two of binging or perhaps something else? What is it and what can you do about it?
