Weighty matter: can CBD really help to fight the flab

It’s getting worse all the time, sadly, and show no signs of abating – the UK weight problem is serious, whichever way you look at it (official figures suggest now nearly two-thirds of all UK adults are overweight or obese). A worrying fact, to say the least. However, it’s not like there’s nothing we, as individuals, can do. If we feel or know we’re overweight, we can try adjusting our lifestyles and habits to a sensible combination of exercise, improved diet and other things – such as vaping e-liquid with cannabidiol (CBD). Yes, that’s right, CBD vape juice UK… CBD’s role in weight loss So, why is this? Well, the human body contains what’s referred to as the endocannabinoid system, which enables specific chemicals our bodies’ produce (called cannabinoid receptors) to play important roles in physiological processes like appetite, pain-sensation, mood and memory. The trouble is, though, some experts suspect that, when these receptors are activated, weight gain becomes likelier. How does CBD help? Well, it’s believed CBD doesn’t directly inhibit the receptors, but can influence the body’s endocannabinoid chemicals to influence the receptors in such a way that it may reduce or remove the potential for weight gain. In doing so, CBD may, too, help prevent metabolic disorders (some of which, left unchecked, could lead to the likes of diabetes). CBD and appetite suppression CBD can’t be capable of lowering your appetite, can it? Surely not when you consider cannabis leads to ‘the munchies’? Wrong. The flawed logic here is to assume that the psychoactive chemical that’s tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which doesn’t just give you a high but also makes you hungry, is a significant ingredient in, and so has a significant effect on, CBD products; it doesn’t – because legally purchasable CBD products comprise an extremely limited amount of THC, […]

Should You Vape CBD if You’re Not A Vaper?

Vaping is one of the most popular forms of smoking cessation out there. With countless flavours, devices and accessories to explore, the wide world of vaping has helped many smokers kick the habit for good. Satisfying, in part due to its similarities to smoking, vaping has far surpassed other tools such as nicotine gum and patches and has led to millions of vapers across the UK. Its success has led to other industries utilising the vaping method for its products. CBD is a burgeoning new industry in the UK that has only become legal relatively recently. CBD has many methods of use, but vaping has become one of the most popular. The problem is, the uses for CBD often extend past the vaping community, and so those who are prescribed or casually benefit from cannabidiol’s anti-anxiety and symptom relief qualities might begin vaping it. The question is, are there other equally effective methods of ingesting CBD, and is vaping it a danger to those who weren’t using e-cigs beforehand?
