How CBD May Improve Your Workouts ✔️

CBD (Cannabidiol) oil is quickly gaining popularity with athletes across a multitude of sports for its ability to improve their training focus, decrease physical pain and soreness, and decrease muscle recovery time. CBD can be taken as either a pre or post-workout supplement to enhance the benefits of exercise, and decrease physical discomfort. Additionally, CBD is non-addictive and non-habit forming, allowing consumers to use it however and whenever they believe necessary or preferable.

Research has shown that CBD helps lower cortisol and insulin levels in the body. Cortisol, sometimes called the ‘stress hormone’, is known to inhibit muscle growth, and decrease energy levels. Unsurprisingly, many users who consume CBD as a pre-workout supplement, or on a regular schedule, have reported higher energy levels throughout not only their workouts, but the entire day. Additionally, CBD also helps to lower the body’s insulin production and regulate blood sugar levels. Less insulin means that less sugar is converted to fat, and more sugar is being burned as energy throughout the day.

Recent research has confirmed that just one dose of CBD can lower blood pressure. Because of its anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties, CBD provides a calming anchor, allowing users to remain relaxed and focused throughout their workouts. If taken before workouts, or on a regular schedule, CBD can improve focus, decrease distractions, and maintain drive in the gym.

CBD can also improve gym sessions on a physical level. CBD has been shown to reduce pain and, consequently, increase physical pain thresholds. This can be especially useful for athletes training through injuries or recovering from injuries through physical rehabilitation training. Because the effects of CBD are long-lasting, it will continue to reduce pain and soreness for hours after exercise is finished.

CBD is especially useful for the reduction of inflammation. CBD not only reduces any pain which may be the result of inflammation, but also suppresses inflammation at a cellular level. As a result, CBD has become a popular anti-inflammatory supplement for athletes in sports that cause long-term inflammation or soreness such as basketball and MMA. Inflammation does not only cause physical pain, but chronic inflammation has been linked to a long list of health issues and diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

For those who use THC as a workout supplement, CBD might prove to be a better choice. Unlike THC, the psychoactive effect of CBD is minimal, meaning that, ideally, there should be no ‘high’ which might prove to be a distraction. Additionally, CBD will keep your mind and body in better condition during exercise because, unlike THC, it does not make you tired (sleepy), thirsty, or hungry. Additionally, recent studies on lab mice show that CBD can actually suppress appetite, keeping you satisfied throughout your workout, and helping you to continue burning calories even after the gym. When combined with its ability to lower insulin, CBD is a great addition to a diet or a high intensity gym program.

CBD’s multitude of physical benefits, and discrete ease of use, make it an excellent addition to any exercise program. When first implementing CBD into a workout program,
