The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an important system that controls all physiological functions such as appetite, sleep, pain, immunity, emotional control, motor function, cognition, and memory. If the function of the body decreases due to stress or aging, it may lead to poor physical condition, which may eventually lead to illness.

There are several possible reasons why the endocannabinoid system (ECS) may malfunction.

1. Not enough endocannabinoids

Physiologically active substances contained in cannabis plants that are produced inside the body are called endocannabinoids, and it is said that the amount produced is likely to decrease with age. . Additionally, some people are born with low levels of endocannabinoids.

Without enough endocannabinoids, there is less stimulation of cannabinoid receptors, resulting in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) not working properly. this"Endocannabinoid Deficiency"It's called.

2. Mental stress weakens the function of the endocannabinoid system (ECS)

In order to maintain the endocannabinoid system (ECS), it is important to effectively control stress through yoga, meditation, exercise, etc.

Lifestyle rhythms and long-term bad habits can also make it difficult to maintain the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

・Indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, constipation
・Depressed mood, irritability
・Pain such as neuralgia, headache, stiff shoulders, etc.
・Problems with cognitive functions such as memory

It is said that it helps maintain the function of the endocannabinoid system (ECS).CBD (cannabidiol), one of the phytocannabinoidsis. It stimulates receptors to replace deficient endocannabinoids and improves endocannabinoid system (ECS) disorders.

Moderate to high-intensity exercise also increases endocannabinoid levels.A study has also been reported.

Exercise well and take CBD.I definitely want to incorporate this as a healthy habit in the future.
