Are you tired of being sick every now and then? Try CBD for Immunity!

How is your immunity? Do you feel that your immune system is not working as it should and you are more susceptible to seasonal diseases than those around you? You may have weakened defenses, which is why you are unable to heal quickly and efficiently. So how can you support your immune system? One of the ways can be CBD, as part of a comprehensive approach to health and treatment.

The immune system is a fundamental aspect of human health, and its ability to recognize and respond to various diseases is key to maintaining a strong immune system. Not only nutrition, sleep, exercise and stress affect the functioning of the immune system. It is important to take care of your health so that your immunity is kept alert and optimal at the same time.

How does the immune system work?

The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body against infections, bacteria, viruses, parasites and other pathogens. Its main task is to recognize and remove foreign microorganisms and substances that could threaten the health of the body. The immune system is a set of mechanisms that ensure the defense of the human organism by recognizing and subsequently eliminating foreign or own organisms, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, etc. Collectively, we call these organisms antigens. Based on the presence of an antigen in our body, the immune system triggers a reaction. A foreign substance can act as an antigen, but also the cells of one's own organism, which is the reason for the emergence of autoimmune diseases. The immune system is manifested by the body's defensiveness or self-tolerance.

How does CBD work on immunity?

CBD helps strengthen the immune system by working in close conjunction with the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an integral part of many bodily processes and plays an important role in regulating various bodily functions, such as the immune response, pain, sleep, mood, memory, and appetite. In the endocannabinoid system, we recognize two types of receptors: CB1 and CB2, and each of these receptors is supposed to play a role in healthy endocannabinoid system your role.

CB1 receptors are found primarily in the brain and central nervous system. They are crucial for the functioning of motor regulation, memory processing, sleep and pain. CB2 receptors are located on cells of the immune system. An activated CB2 receptor triggers a response that fights inflammation and minimizes damage to body tissues. This anti-inflammatory response can be very beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease.

Healthy gut

Strong health and a properly functioning immune system are influenced by many factors, but the vast majority of good health and vitality depend on proper gut function. In order for the intestines to function properly, they need a sufficient intake of foods containing cellulose and the correct composition of intestinal bacteria. You can support a healthy gut by consuming probiotics. These are living lactic acid bacteria that are beneficial to the body, such as lactobacilli or bifibacteria. You can find probiotics, for example, in kefir, some dairy products, or you can buy a dietary supplement in the form of capsules. All these products have a beneficial effect on the condition of the intestinal microflora in the large intestine.

Increased intake of vitamins

We are primarily talking about vitamin D, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system. People with a greater susceptibility to infectious diseases have lower levels of vitamin D. The sad news is that roughly 95% of Czechs are vitamin D deficient. A person receives 90% of vitamin D from sunlight and the remaining 10% from food. Foods rich in vitamin D include primarily fish, followed by beef, mushrooms or eggs. However, the fastest way is to stay in the sun. The appropriate amount of time spent in the sun to obtain the correct level of vitamin D is around 20 minutes a day, three times a week.

A diet rich in minerals

Minerals are important in our body for the formation of bones and teeth and the proper functioning of the immune system. The most important minerals for our body are zinc and selenium. The lack of these minerals causes a weakening of the immune system, as zinc and selenium play a necessary role in other enzymatic processes. Foods with a high protein content, such as beef, offal and egg yolks, are a source of zinc.

Quality sleep

Sleep is one of the basic biological needs of humans and cannot be replaced by anything. During sleep, toxins accumulated during the day are flushed from the brain. Accumulated toxins damage the brain, which is why sleep is so important. It prevents a number of diseases and restores physical and mental strength. An adult needs approximately 7-8 hours of sleep a day to restore strength. You can support quality sleep with CBD products. Cannabinoids contained in the cannabis plant help induce a feeling of calmness, well-being and support the REM phase, i.e. deep sleep.

Balanced menu

You can also support the immune system by eating healthy. A varied and balanced diet increases our chances of supplying the body with everything it needs. The diet should be rich in foods high in protein, essential fatty acids, fiber, minerals and vitamins.

Echinacea

Echinacea, or purple coneflower, is a versatile herb that has a beneficial effect on the human body both externally and internally. Conifer can activate white blood cells, which eliminate infections, and thus has an effect on strengthening the immune system.

Restrictions on alcohol and cigarettes

Increased alcohol consumption adversely affects the immune system. The number of peripheral T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes decreases. These changes compromise the healthy functioning of the immune system and contribute to increased susceptibility to infections. Smoking, in turn, can cause the development of autoimmune diseases, such as chronic lung disease, in which the lung cell's own immunity is attacked. If you decide to limit your alcohol and cigarette consumption, or if you decide to stop altogether, CBD can be a great help here as well. CBD can counteract the unwanted side effects associated with withdrawal such as headache, restlessness, nausea and more.

Enough movement

Physical activity it is undoubtedly very useful for the human organism. According to a 2019 study, moderate-intensity exercise can stimulate cellular immunity by increasing the circulation of immune cells in your body. This speeds up the response of the immune system and the infection is recognized earlier.

Drinking regime

High-quality and sufficient fluid intake, especially clean water, ensures that the blood delivers enough oxygen to all the cells of our body. The immune system is thus not overloaded and can fulfill all its functions without any problems.

Minimum stress

This is primarily chronic stress, which is very dangerous. Long-term stress can lead to immunodeficiency, especially autoimmune and oncological diseases. CBD helps alleviate chronic stress, anxiety and bad moods. Regular use of cannabis products can therefore help you put an end to this aspect as well.

Our health is a reflection of how we treat ourselves. We cannot influence everything, but we can contribute to the healthy functioning of our body to a large extent. Even small changes are a success and it's never too late to start. Inclusion CBD products is one of the steps to stronger health, so don't hesitate and give cannabis a green light.
