Stress Research and CBD (Cannabidiol)
CBD Oils to Help Soothe Anxiety
CBD Can Help Several Stress Disorders Groundbreaking research into the health benefits of the plant compound cannabidiol or CBD – the non-intoxicating chemical compound found in the cannabis plant has yielded impressive results in recent years. Numerous studies have found that CBD may be therapeutically useful for treating a variety of different conditions that affect not only the body, but... ContinueWhy Veterans Are Turning to CBD
Epidemic of Post-traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) No one wants to talk about it, but a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) epidemic has now reached crisis levels among our nation’s service members and veterans. According to a 2014 report by Institute of Medicine (IOM), data from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) showed that the proportion of service members with PTSD increased... ContinueCan Olive Oil Help Fight Cancer via CB1 Receptors?
Dietary Olive Oil May Fight Cancer Via CB1 Receptors Research has shown that adherence to the Mediterranean diet can lead to longer lives, stronger bones, lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and lower risk of cancer. Generally, the diet emphasizes eating mostly plant-based foods (such as fruits, legumes, and unrefined grains), moderate protein (mostly fish and little to no red meat),...
