Wellness junkies, as people call it, are in for a refreshing treat this year with cannabis-infused products joining the grocery shelves of Canada and parts of the US. While CBD products of all sorts are already making waves in the beauty world, we can’t deny that cannabis in itself is beneficial to our health. Hence, the reason why this plant is used to relieve pain and tension of the muscles plus fight autoimmune diseases.
Marijuana Smoothie
One trend being famous today is juicing the marijuana plant. Yes, you’ve seen it right. Leafy greens transforming into a dewy smoothie for an instant source of energy. It’s easy to make and is packed with lots of nutrients beneficial for the body like calcium, fiber, antioxidants, iron, vitamin K, protein and magnesium. But don’t worry because consuming this green smoothie won’t make you high.
Contrary to myths circulating, juicing the raw plant is safe to consume and won’t make you feel high. THC or the tetrahydrocannabinol, which is responsible for the psychoactive effects, is only activated once a strain is heated.
Cannabis Coffee
Tired of the bland taste of your coffee? Add an exciting ingredient in the form of cannabis. The most amazing marijuana coffee can be purchased from Washington and many other states that allow recreational use. The best thing about this product is you can make it in your Keurig.
We all know that coffee is a source of antioxidants and can help you burn those fats. Health junkies are so into coffee because of its proven benefits. Now, if you added cannabis, you’ll surely double and triple the nutrients after each sip.
CBD Topicals
A day after your workout, your body must be screaming from pain due to microscopic damage to the muscles. The stiffness and soreness you feel can be gone with a CBD topical. In fact, even celebs are using this thing especially women who are prone to toe pain due to wearing high heels. Actress and songwriter Mandy Moore, said in an interview with Coveteur that she’s trying out the CBD oil to her feet to remedy the pain. She mentioned that this was recommended by her hairstylist.
Staying active, fit and strong must be the goal for a healthier year. Don’t be afraid to try these things and consider cannabis as an organic herbal to make your body free from auto-immune diseases, muscle soreness and inflammation.
