Inflammation: Healing the Body
Inflammation is increasingly linked to a broad range of illnesses including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune, neurogenerative and well as aging. Inflammation occurs naturally in response to illness and infection, but when it is chronic, it can increase the risk of developing disease. Although a lot more research and investigation is needed, it would seem prudent to manage your inflammation as best you can via lifestyle decisions.
No, I’m not going to tell you not to imbibe or enjoy pizza! As I mentioned in a previous blog, we enjoy craft beer, wine, spirits, etc. on a regular basis. We are all going to die from something so let us enjoy the ride and enjoy our adult vices in moderation.
Ann lives with chronic pain, and I worry about keeping her healthy and around for a long time. To reduce inflammation, we utilize some of the following options:
- Cannabidiolic Acid (CDBA)
- A non-psychoactive cannabinoid and the acid precursor to CBD, which is very unstable so be careful as there is a lot of snake oil on the market. It is a 1000x stronger CBD so 1mg of CBDA is equal to 1000mg of CBD, if you have a product that protect it when taking it. This has allowed Ann to get better sleep and workout again, because it has rediced pain greatly.
- Exercise
- It is well known that regular physical exercise has health benefits and one anti-inflammatory response. One study at UC San Diego found that by doing 20 minutes of regular physical activity at moderate levels reduced inflammation by five percent. Our goal is 4 days a week, intense workouts so they don’t take all day!
- Rest
- I consider this one of the most underappreciated factors in reducing chronic inflammation. There is a high correlation between sleep quality and your overall health. Dr. Matthew Walker say that “The silent sleep loss epidemic is one of the greatest public health challenges we face in the 21st century”. We are committed to a minimum of 7 hours a night.
- Diet
- I hate to use the word but in the case it is appropriate. When I speak about diet I referring to moderating the process meats, sugars, and eliminating the Franken foods like trans fats, genetically modified organisms. That name by itself should scare you away over diet. For us a diet is about a WAY of eating not loosing weight!
- Adult Libations
- You knew it was coming! Beer, wine and spirits in moderation may reduce inflammation. I love a good India Pale Ale (IPA) but I also love a good Stout. The hops in beer have shown both sedative and anti-inflammatory properties. You’ll check two boxes by enjoying a nice beer. Wine contains resveratrol which is showing promise in the anti-inflammatory world. An last but not least on a cool winter evening a wee little dram never hurt anyone.
Just like you we live a full life with all the ups and downs, someweeks it’s like an of episode of “Game of Thrones”. There are times when we are laser focused on goals, dreams and achievements, others when we take a break to stop and smell the roses but are still mindful of the dream.
Last I would like to share a line from Tecumseh Poem that encapsulates the ebb and flow of life but the ultimate goal of a health and wellness lifestyle. “Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to live a long life.”
CBD Massage Oil: Take Care of the Body
Why not a massage oil with CBD! It makes perfect sense! Sore muscles benefit from the anti-inflammatory components of CBD.
Our anointing massage oil is delightful. At first you might think this is a tiny bottle of massage oil but it definitely packs a punch! A little bit goes a long way; some massage oils absorb into the skin so quickly that you are continuously needing more. This is absolutely not true with this oil!
Anointing! Such a sexy name, Anointing, and its scent is cinnamon. Does it give a light warming sensation? Maybe, but it’s not extreme!
What a great gift to give a partner. Show up with this oil and rub their shoulders or back…! As my husband would say: #winning !
For anyone who does fascia blasting this is now my oil of choice. It only makes sense why doing fascia release to use an oil with the power of CBD inside!
CBD Oil and Water: The Power of the Patented 10x Pure CBD Oil
A healthy human body consist of 50-75% water. Water is required for all chemical reactions in our cells, it regulates our body temperature, promotes healthy skin, lubricates our joints, moves nutrients around our body, removes waste form our bodies and is important in our digestive process.
You may be asking yourself what does this have to do with CBD oil? When you take CBD oil orally or sublingually and it goes into our system, it is like trying to mix oil and water and as I’m sure you know they don’t mix well together naturally.
Any type of oil-based CBD will not naturally mix with water for a couple of reasons one being the molecular structure and density difference. Have you seen pictures where oil floats on top of water- that’s about structure and density. The other reason is their polarity. Polarity means a molecule is positive charged at one end and negatively charged at the other, like a magnet. Water is a polar molecule. Since only opposites attract, the water molecules stick to each other, like the ends of the magnet. Thus when you stir oil and water together they will eventually separate into two separate layers.
This is why CBD oil can have problems entering our system to help us. In a study conducted by Welty et al., entitled “Cannabidiol: Promise and Pitfalls,” researchers looked into the potential benefits of CBD and some of the pitfalls of its use in treating human conditions. When looking at CBD’s ability to be absorbed into the body, researchers noted that, while CBD is well tolerated in amounts up to 600 mg, its oral input has a bioavailability of only 6%.
This means that, when ingested, CBD has a much-reduced efficacy with being taken in by the body.
Our one of a kind patented 10x pure CBD oil which is hydrophilic. In addition it’s patented process allows the CBD molecule to attach to water, verses just play with water. This will allow for higher absorption and bio-availability ultimately for anyone take CBD oil. Our 10x pure has other special things about it that increase the bio-availability TEN TIMES! With our 60-day empty bottle money back guarantee, we encourage you to try it, you have nothing to lose.
CBD, Mood and Anandamide
When learning about Cannabidiol (CBD) you may come across the word anandamide. In the 1980’s, before we were really focused on the CBD component of hemp, scientists observed that THC bonded perfectly with a newly discovered neurotransmitter receptor called anandamide. One interesting thing about this compound is it is the bodies Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD elevates anandamide but doesn’t get us high. THC works, but really has that “drugged” effect.
Anandamide is part of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which combined works as a homeostatic regulator, which means it is constantly working to bring about a state of balance to our bodies and minds.
Anandamide is produced on demand by the body and then breaks down quickly. Anandamide binds to the cannabinoid receptors CB1. This receptor oversees our appetite, pain sensitivity and sleep cycle. It is especially responsible for our mood when it comes to well being.
Research indicates that robust levels of anandamide in our bodies is linked to feelings of wellbeing and happiness, and a lack of them to depression and anxiety. It is often called the “bliss molecule.”
CBD can be useful mood disorders because of its relationship with anandamide. This compound can help calm down the over anxious and deeply sad. One way to stimulate the ECS system is through the introduction of CBD oil regularly in your diet. As mentioned previously, THC binds perfectly into the ECS receptor found throughout the brain and central nervous system, creating the high or stoned effect. This can lesson a person’s ability to function effectively.
Scientists have observed that the administration of CBD has the same receptor connection and in addition leads to increased anandamide levels.
By taking CBD, you can take a step toward balancing your body and mind. You also increase the chances of feeling happier and more at peace. Contact us about starting a high quality CBD and changing how you feel every day.
