CBD for Heart health
According to current research, CBD has been linked with several benefits to the heart and circulatory system. CBD has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties that may help to reduce risk factors that can eventually lead to heart disease. Cannabidiol may also reduce the risk of stroke and other related conditions. CBD may have the ability to lower high blood pressure, reduced inner artery stiffness, and improved blood flow through the arteries.Â
Heart Disease
National Center for Health Statistics, and the CDC, have reported that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US. Most of us know someone who is affected by heart disease, or have been affected themselves. One in four deaths are linked to heart disease according to the CDC. Some examples of heart failure causes are medical conditions (such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and anemia), lifestyle, and genetics.
Endocannabinoid System
Researchers suggest that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a role in the function of the cardiovascular system. The endocannabinoid system is a complex biological system Which impacts many of the bodyâs functions and brings homeostasis to the other systems of the body. This is made possible by cannabinoid receptors found in our tissues. Some of these functions that the ECS regulates include appetite, memory, mood, and sleep. CBD stimulates activity of the endocannabinoid system to help it regulate the cardiovascular system.
Heart Disease increases your risk of stroke
A stroke may occur when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain. A blood vessel in the brain can also burst, causing a hemorrhagic stroke. Studies have shown that stroke patients who use high doses of CBD may increase cerebral blood flow during a stroke, and it may aid in recovery after a stroke by boosting brain function. This could help to decrease the amount of brain damage caused by a stroke. Most of these studies have been done on animals, so again, more research will be done before any promises of efficacy can be made.
CBD & High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure has been shown to be the biggest risk factor for hypertensive heart disease. CBD research tells us that when given to rats that have elevated blood pressure, a single dose of cannabidiol can lower blood pressure and heart rate. Similar research has shown the same result in humans. Cannabis research is still so new however, and we are continuing to see the many benefits of cannabis.
How to take CBD
Consuming CBD orally is the most effective and quickest way to take advantage of the benefits that CBD has to offer when it comes to heart health. Topical cannabidiol products mainly affect the skin without entering your bloodstream as quickly as with ingesting the product. cannabidiol is not meant to take the place of pharmaceuticals that your doctor may prescribe for you. In fact, it is best to talk with your doctor to make sure that CBD is best for you, and to make sure that it doesnât negatively interact with other medications that you may currently be taking.
Heart disease and congestive heart failure cannot by cured by CBD, however, CBD is currently being studied for ways it may help reduce symptoms or prevent heart disease. Heart failure is caused by a number of conditions. High blood pressure makes it more difficult for the body to allow blood to easily flow through. Research suggests that even a single dose of CBD can lower blood pressure making it easier for the blood to travel through the body without obstruction by inflammation.
