MEANINGFUL HEALTH | CONSUME CONSCIOUSLY: for a Balanced System

When you decide to incorporate medicinal cannabis as an alternative treatment, it is crucial to be clear about the purpose of consumption; this way it will be easier to choose the cannabinoid and terpene profiles that are most appropriate to control the desired symptoms.

Have you ever noticed that the experience with cannabis is no longer the same?

When cannabis consumption exceeds recommended levels, it can lead to overactivation of cannabinoid receptors, which can result in unpleasant side effects such as increased anxiety, paranoia, apathy, and confusion, among others. Chronic cannabis use can cause the development of cannabinoid tolerance, making the experience undesirable.

What can you do?

The best course of action is to consult with a certified professional who can help you choose the most appropriate cannabinoid profiles for your condition and determine the dosage and frequency according to your needs. Remember that more isn't always better.

How to take care of the Endocannabinoid System?

You can start making lifestyle adjustments such as: increasing physical activity, which helps raise levels of the CB1 activator and anandamide, and improve the sensitivity of these receptors; maintaining adequate hydration; and eating a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables.

Vitamin A increases the expression of CB1 receptors; it can be found in foods such as cantaloupe, eggs, fish, and spinach. Catechins, on the other hand, stimulate the endocannabinoid system (ECS) by binding to CB1 receptors in the central nervous system. These are found in green tea, blackberries, kiwi, avocado, and strawberries, among other foods. Consuming fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6 is also beneficial for a healthy ECS.

Always remember to choose top-quality products and select growers that offer fresh, pleasant-smelling, and good-looking products, and above all, are free of any contaminants. I hope this information is helpful to everyone. Remember to consume cannabis responsibly and consciously.

Until the next edition.
