How CBD works: the top 3 benefits in a row
You might be surprised by the photo above: “Huh, is this blog about weed?” Yes and no. This time we're going to talk about a specific component of cannabis called CBD, where we dive deeper into how CBD works and how to use it.
What is CBD?
CBD is one of the 100 components from the better known plant called 'the cannabis plant'. Unlike THC, CBD is the part of "weed" that can't get you high. This property makes CBD an interesting product, because it can provide the benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive disadvantages. In this Weekly Performance you will learn which benefits make CBD so popular and how you can experience these benefits yourself.
The top 3 benefits of CBD
1. Pain reduction
CBD has a pain-reducing effect because it lowers the inflammatory values in your body. The substance interacts with a system in your body called 'the endocannabinoid system'. The components of CBD have an effect on these neurotransmitters and receptors, so that the sensation of pain can be relieved and inflammation levels decrease.
2. Soothing
Supplementing CBD can reduce anxiety and worry. This then ensures that you are less stressed and can relax more easily. More studies are currently underway to investigate the stress-reducing effect of CBD, so we expect many more benefits to become known in the near future.
3. Improves your sleep
CBD can positively influence your sleep. Studies have shown that CBD can help with insomnia, improve REM sleep and reduce daytime fatigue. In addition, the above benefits provide improved well-being, which immediately positively influences your sleep.
How do I experience the effect of cbd?
CBD is currently booming business in the health world, which means that new innovations in the field of this wonder drug are springing up every month. You can (legally) experience all the benefits of CBD in the following ways:
1. CBD Gummies
