CBD Oil and Weight Loss
The body has a built-in endocannabinoid system which responds to different compounds in the body through two cannabinoid (CB) receptors – CB1 and CB2. Normally, CB1 exists mainly in the brain and central nervous system and are almost nonexistent in the rest of the body. CB2, on the other hand, exist throughout the body.
Turns Bad Fat into Good Fat
According to the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, research from 2018 explains CBD melts away fat by breaking it down and eliminating it from the body as waste. Brown fat cells burn off energy as heat, so they actually burn calories. Since loss of calories is vital to losing weight, CBD may just help.
Reduces the Risk of Metabolic Disorders
As other 2018 research shows, there is a close link between obesity and many metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
CBD oil also helps in the improvement of glucose tolerance. CBD helps the body release toxins which is beneficial for the protection of organs. It aids in elimination of harmful toxins to assist in burning fats and eliminates the need to store the high content of lipids in the body.
