Can CBD Help You Recover Quicker?
How using CBD will help you Recover after a Workout!
Cannabidiol, aka CBD, is having a moment right now, and for good reason. Not only does it have some general health benefits, such as being anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety, research is starting to suggest that using CBD while working out can help you recover faster. According to U.S. News & World Report, CBD can be an effective way to relieve the inflammation and pain caused by exercise. CBD comes in topical creams, capsules, sprays, and more, and can be used after your workout to help you feel less stiff and sore, Esquire reports.
Dr. Alan Beyer, sports medicine doctor and executive medical director of the Hoag Orthopedic Institute in California, told U.S. News and World Report that he has seen a dramatic increase in older adult and college-aged athletes taking CBD edibles and using CBD oils because they believe CBD will promote muscle growth, though there's little research to suggest this. Dr. Beyer also told U.S. News and World Report that CBD might be a promising substitute for NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, which can cause kidney damage, to relieve pain from exercise-related injuries.
In summary you can save yourself some kidney damage by not taking pain relievers like Ibuprofen and supplement that pill with Hemp/CBD Tincture (oil) and Joint and Muscle Cream.
