HOW CBD CAN ENHANCE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

October 30, 2020

In a report published in the Hawaii Journal of Medicine and Public Health, people who use CBD experienced a 64 percent decrease in daily pain. CBD has become mainstream in the wellness world within a span of a few years, and it’s easy to see why. In fact, athletes have also said that CBD can make you feel relaxed, improve your mood, and alleviate stress. Considering athletes go through rigorous training, cannabidiol could be a potential therapeutic regimen for injuries, mental hindrances, and pain without experiencing the feeling of getting "high." But could CBD enhance athletic performance? Read on to find out. 

Control Appetite and Weight 

As an athlete, you are required to eat healthy foods and take the right supplement to boost longevity in the gym or racing track as well as enhance performance. For these reasons, it’s advisable to incorporate cannabidiol products into your diet. Unlike THC, CBD does not induce unhealthy eating, but instead, it controls your appetite. If you can’t stick to foods that promote peak performance or want to reduce weight loss, consider using CBD oil. It will make you feel satisfied after eating, so you don’t overeat, as it also improves insulin function.  

Boost The Immune System

A study by NCBI shows that cannabinoids have anti-inflammatory properties, which help regulate inflammation and the production of white blood cells. So when used, CBD can boost the immune system to fight infections and keep you healthy. The antioxidants present in cannabinoids also improve your cardiovascular health to ensure you perform well during sports activities. But for you to enjoy this benefit, you need to buy high-quality cannabidiol oils. Shopping for quality CBD oil entails researching reputable brands, understanding the different formats of CBD and dosage, and how to take it.  

Improve Post-workout Recovery

For athletes to achieve peak performance, they must continuously push their bodies during training. Since cannabidiol contains anti-inflammatory properties, it can help relieve pain during and after training. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, go to the gym regularly or a professional athlete, recovery is crucial to prevent delayed muscle soreness, injuries, and ensure you perform at your best. 

CBD is gaining popularity in the wellness and sports industry for various reasons. It offers athletes a new and effective way to enhance performance. After all, cannabidiol oil could mark a turning point on how athletes recover after training to ensure they perform at their best in the gym and during competitions.
