One of the most common phrases heard in the 21stcentury must surely be “I’m so stressed out!” We all feel stressed at some point, but have you ever wondered what stress really is? Simply put, stress is how your brain and body react to any type of stressor or challenge; be it a work challenge, a school exam, a traumatic event (the Covid-19 pandemic immediately jumps to mind) or a significant life change.
Symptoms of stress
Physical expressions of stress include a faster pulse, increased breathing rate and tense muscles. While stress can motivate you to do your best, long-term chronic stress can be debilitating. Symptoms may include headaches, sleeplessness, sadness, anger or irritability. Over time, stress may cause serious health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or mental disorders such as depression.1
Take control of stress today!
The key is to find a way to manage or treat stress before it takes over your life and well-being. Around the world, more and more people are waking up to the pharmacological benefits of cannabidiol, commonly referred to as CBD. CBD is a compound found in the cannabis plant which researchers have been studying for potential therapeutic use.2
Separating myths from science
What they’ve found has been life-changing for many: CBD has been shown to provide relief to those experiencing stress symptoms such as anxiety, muscular tension, restlessness, fatigue and poor concentration.3 Better still: CBD may relieve stress without slowing down your psychomotor responses or altering moods4, and is suitable for daytime use.5
