How CBD Contributes to an Athletes Performance and Recovery

May 10, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Cannabidiol, better known by its initials, CBD, is a cannabinoid, a chemical compound contained in the marijuana plant (Cannabis sativa). CBD is the second most abundant of over a hundred cannabinoid compounds found in cannabis, the most abundant and most famous being THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the sensation of being high that is most times linked to the marijuana plant. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive. As a result, CBD is readily available at Just CDB and in most parts of the U.S and is a popular natural remedy for pain and other symptoms without the accompanying hallucinatory attributes that marijuana and other pharmaceutical drugs come with.

CBD can be used by most people and is safe to be used by children. CBD also contributes to performance and recovery in athletes in many ways.

It Can Relieve Pain

Every person who aspires to the title of an athlete, be it professional or amateur, is no stranger to pain. Torn muscles, sprained ankles, fractured bones, or body aches are but a few of the myriad of pains that an athlete may suffer in the course of his/her career. Pain, if not managed, will impair recovery, and lengthen the stay in the infirmary. CBD has proven to be a natural remedy for pain, greatly reducing sciatic nerve pain and inflammation.

Reduces Anxiety and Depression

It is reported that one in five people suffer from mental illnesses. Athletes, while exceptional in the field, are not an exception to this statistic. The World Health Organization describes depression as the most significant contributor to disability worldwide.

Injuries, lifestyle choices, perfectionism, overexertion, and the fear of failure are some causes of stress, anxiety, and depression in athletes. It goes without saying that a depressed athlete will perform poorly. CBD is a natural treatment for depression and anxiety.

Could Benefit Heart Health

A healthy heart is crucial to everyday living; this is even truer for athletes as the nature of their profession requires that their hearts be in top condition; else, they perform below expectations. Research has associated CBD with benefits for heart and circulatory systems, as well as lowering blood pressure.

Substance Abuse Treatment

Athletes of both sexes have been known to abuse substances, either for improved performance or as a way to handle stress. Athletes in whose systems drugs have been found, will without fail be banned from participating in events. In this respect, CBD contributes to the performance and recovery, first by being an alternative to reduce depression and anxiety, without being psychoactive. Secondly, it has been demonstrated that CBD can modify brain-related drug addiction, as well as minimize heroin and morphine dependence.

Conclusion

Athletes are encouraged to learn about just CBD’s line of products for improved heart conditions, reduced anxiety, and depression. Athletes, or persons in professions (law enforcement, firefighters) with conditions closely resembling those found in athletics, will find Cannabidiol to be greatly beneficial.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
