NEW YEAR, NEW START, NEW YOU - That same mantra we like to tell ourselves year after year...well this time its different. After the 2020 we've all had, now is the time to really think about how you are going to look after yourself.
The answer?
NOURISH and NURTURE your Endocannabinoid System!
The Endocannabinoid System or ECS for short regulates and balances a range of functions and processes within the body such as sleep, mood and memory - its importance is understated.
Metabolism, appetite & digestion, the cardiovascular system, inflammation and other immune system responses are also functions which are linked to the ECS and contribute to homeostasis.
When we suffer from pain or fever for example, the ECS kicks in to keep internal processes stable and to help return your body to normal. There is a theory* known by experts called Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CECD). This theory suggests that low endocannabinoid levels in your body can contribute to the development of certain conditions.
THE BEST WAY TO INCREASE CANNABINOIDS
1. Take CBD
Put vital cannabinoids back into your system by taking a daily supplement such as an oil or capsule.
2. More Omega-3/6 fatty acids
One of the most abundant and healthy sources of Omega-3 fatty acids is the hemp plant. Hemp seeds are believed to have the optimal ratio of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids (1:3), since this ratio emulates the ratio found in the human body whist also being nutrient-rich and full of healthy fatty acids, protein and carbohydrates. Research suggests a diet low in omega-3s can disturb cannabinoid function and synthesis, while a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can help promote the synthesis of omega-3 endocannabinoids**.
3. Exercise
It’s well known that getting enough exercise can help you sleep better but adequate exercise can also increase levels of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid that is believed to promote happiness.
Love yourself and look after your body & mind.
Peace & Hemp.

We believe by taking additional cannabinoids in varied forms can help and rectify deficiencies that may occur but we leave it upto you to research further.
