Do you know how CBD can help you with the cold and flu season? Your body uses cannabinoids to regulate your endocannabinoid system and help stimulate and regulate the pathways beyond the ECS. CBD has 65 known targets for activity in the body and brain beyond cannabinoid receptors.
Your Endocannabinoid System
Your body’s cannabinoid receptors are the basis of your immune response. CB receptors are spread all over your body and there are more of these than any other type of receptor. It is your body’s intuitive orders that respond to cannabinoids ( CBD) to activate CB receptors where inflammation is under or over the desired activity level and bring it to the desired activity level. This is the way that your endocannabinoid system regulates virtually every system in your body, ensures everything is working properly, maintains homeostasis in the body, and prevents dysregulation and disease.
The Cold And Flu
The most effective way for you to prevent sickness, but particularly the flu or a cold, is to keep your body running effectively. This is where CBD comes in. Cannabinoids are designed to help avoid illness. When you regulate your health, CBD can complement these efforts and help you avoid getting the common cold or flu.
Increasing Nutrients
CBD is an extract of the hemp plant that is full of vitamins. Along with containing cannabinoids, more than 110 have been found. Hemp extracts also contain terpenes, flavonoids, fatty acids, vitamins, plant sterols, Gamma Linoleic Acid, and chlorophyll, which are all great for your body. Not only are they great for your body, but they can also fight against the cold and flu
Stress Levels
Cortisol is responsible for helping the body fight disease and inflammation. This constant release of this hormone occurs in individuals who are chronically stressed. This reduces its effectiveness. Over time, this can also result in increased disease and inflammation, along with a less effective immune system. If you become chronically stressed, your endocannabinoids may become depleted. This means that the CB receptors are not activated, resulting in your body and brain become uneven. The good news is that CBD can help.
Sleep Schedule
Since cannabinoid signaling is so important to your body organs and systems, the endocannabinoid system impacts sleep regulation. The central nervous system is important when it comes to regulating sleep and wake cycles. Your body requires sleep to stay healthy, and if your sleep schedule is off, you are more likely to get a cold or the flu. By adding CBD to your day, you can get better sleep and stay healthy.
