Post-workout recovery can be as crucial to your fitness goals as your workout itself. Your muscles need time to be able to repair themselves, so that you can get back to the grind quickly and at full speed. If that recovery time stalls out and you have to wait several days or more to get back to it, you’ll lose all your momentum. And momentum is key when it comes to an effective fitness regimen.
With this in mind, it’s vital that you find the right recovery product to help ease the kind of joint and muscle soreness that can potentially hold you back. As it so happens, CBD may be an effective tool to help you recover after a workout. With anti-inflammatory properties, CBD may help soothe aching muscles and joints. And CBD’s calming effects make it an effective sleep supplement, which is an essential part of post-workout recovery.
So, let’s take a closer look at cannabidiol, a.k.a. CBD, and explore its various restorative properties. Then, let’s look at some of the best CBD recovery products available in the UK today.
WHAT IS CBD?
CBD is a natural compound found in the cannabis plant. In the case of the legal CBD products sold by CBDfx, that means the low-THC form of cannabis known as hemp. CBD belongs to a group of chemical compounds called cannabinoids. Vertebrate animals (humans included) make their own cannabinoids, called endocannabinoids. These serve as neurotransmitters in the body’s endocannabinoid system. The ECS is a cell-signaling system that helps the body to maintain homeostasis, or balance, in a number of systems and organs throughout the body. In doing so, they help to regulate such vital functions as sleep, pain management, stress, immune function, appetite, mood, memory, motor control, and more.
When we introduce CBD and other hemp-derived cannabinoids into our bodies, these compounds mimic the body’s own endocannabinoids and send signals to the same receptors in the body’s various organs and systems. This helps the body to more efficiently maintain homeostasis and lends powerful support to the various functions we noted above. It is on account of this beneficial interaction that CBD has become such a popular health and wellness product.
HOW CAN CBD HELP YOU RECOVER POST-WORKOUT?
We named a few of the benefits of CBD above as we listed some of the functions it supports in the body. Among those functions is pain management, as CBD may offer soothing relief for muscle soreness and minor joint pain. In addition to using CBD for pain relief, many also use CBD as an anti-inflammatory, noting research studies showing that it blocks the production of certain substances that lead to inflammation and swelling.
CBD also has calming effects that pair well with other relaxing supplements, such as passion flower or chamomile, making it an effective ingredient for natural sleep aids. It’s established that sleep is crucial for helping the body to recover from the wear and tear of vigorous exercise. CBD sleep aids are formulated to help you fall asleep quickly and rest more soundly over the course of the night.
