WHY CBD & FITNESS GO HAND-IN-HAND
CBD is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. It is quickly becoming a go-to product for overall health and well-being but is also being used to treat numerous health-related symptoms in individuals worldwide. CBD Living is an online company that provides a wide-range of CBD products worldwide. One of the most fitness-inspired products is their unique Nano-CBD Water.
CBD and Pain
CBD acts on the endocannabinoid system and has been shown to manage a wide array of symptoms including pain and inflammation. CBD acts on CB1 and CB2 receptors to decrease pain signals from the brain to the body, as well as reduce localized inflammation.
One of the most common complaints during exercise is pain. Whether it be due to an injury from years ago, daily aches and pains or chronic pain, CBD can help manage discomfort during exercise.
Many individuals are using CBD during exercise to manage pain, as opposed to traditional Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatories (NSAIDS), because there are minimal side effects. CBD products, such as CBD water, acts to rehydrate the body, decrease inflammation and decrease pain signals, without upsetting the stomach or causing gastric damage (i.e. ulcers).
Due to its non-psychoactive properties, CBD is a great choice for managing pain and inflammation during exercise as it will not interfere with cognitive functioning or safety. Unlike products which contain CBD and THC, pure CBD products will not make you feel “high”.
CBD and Recovery
If you’ve ever over-exercised a muscle group, you know that it can be an uncomfortable experience. Pain, swelling and muscle spasms are common symptoms experienced after intense exercise. CBD can help.
When CBD acts on CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, it reduces errant or overactive signals to the brain. This will reduce pain signals and muscle spasms and calm the overactive sensory system.
In essence, CBD is a great recovery tool after exercise. CBD Living offers many products that are geared towards fitness, such as CBD Capsules and CBD Water. Their products are infused with Nano-CBD to encourage maximum absorption and benefit to the user. CBD Water will help re-hydrate the body while providing crucial CBD for recovery, and capsules can be taken before or after a workout with no mess!
CBD and Yoga
Cannabis and Yoga are becoming a more prominent couple in the fitness industry. There are cannabis yoga classes cropping up all over the world and gaining in popularity. Individuals are looking to take their yoga practice to a whole new level.
CBD may provide relaxation for some yogi’s looking to clear their mind and have a stress-free session on the mat while providing pain relief for others. CBD’s pain reducing properties will allow yogi’s who experience chronic pain to reduce pain signals during their practice and get deeper into each pose.
Perhaps the biggest benefit for CBD infused yoga is the non-psychoactive properties of CBD. Yogis can remain clear-headed and mindful during their practice, while still achieving maximum benefits in the body. CBD and yoga both have the same endgame: relax the mind and body.
