SOME SURPRISING POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF CBD OIL

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a product derived from the cannabis plant. CBD is a cannabinoid, which is a compound naturally found in cannabis plants. It does not contain psychoactive properties (no THC) and hence does not produce a “high” effect, but it has been proposed to have a wide range of health benefits.

Most people have heard about some common uses of CBD oil, like help with sleep and anxiety relief. Whilst more research is needed to further understand the therapeutic attributes of CBD oil, here are some other areas where scientists are finding there may be possible benefits:

DIABETES
In a placebo-controlled study of participants with type 2 diabetes, those on CBD oil were found to have improved regulation of insulin related hormone levels.

ADDICTION TREATMENT
CBD was administered to people with he**in use disorder. Over the course of a week, CBD was found to reduce withdrawal cravings and anxiety, and lower cortisol levels (associated with stress) in the saliva.

PTSD TREATMENT
In a study of 11 adult patients with PTSD symptoms, CBD administered with routine psychiatric care found a reduction in PTSD symptoms. CBD also appeared to offer relief in a subset of patients who reported nightmares as a symptom of their PTSD.

ORAL HEALTH
Did you know that CBD Oil may help with oral and gum health? In a study performed on rats with gum disease, the rats treated with CBD oil healed faster, had healthier gums and less bone destruction.

While there isn’t yet conclusive evidence to support CBD oil for these uses, researchers agree that CBD products have a lot of potential, and more studies are needed to further understand their therapeutic benefits.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR RUNNING //

Our Exercise Physiologist, Rachael, who is usually found in our Exercise Studio putting our exercise study participants through their paces, or monitoring their progress, has put together 6 steps to help you get the most out of your running.

STEP 5 – Check yourself before you wreck yourself!

Up to 70% of casual runners have an injury within the first 12-months of beginning their training journey. Most injuries occur at the knee joint (42%) with the next most occurring at the foot and ankle (17%).

These injuries are mostly due to overuse and improper monitoring of a training program in one or more of the following areas;

* Too many training sessions (Frequency)
* Running at a high pace (Intensity)
* Length of training sessions (Time)
* The kinds of training sessions you are doing (Type)

Following a training program based around sound training principles, such as F**T (Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type) and constantly checking the training load will help reduce the risk of injury.
