Curious Why Some Foods Leave You Feeling Blissful?
Turns out, it's not just a sugar high.
Chocolate high in cacao contains a naturally occurring substance called anandamide - a neurotransmitter that stimulates the reward centers of the brain.
Anandamide is one of the many substances also found in CBD.
But... it doesn't JUST make you feel better.
This endocannabinoid also plays a role in memory, appetite, sleep and pain relief.
A series of groundbreaking discoveries revealed that endocannabinoid molecules are as widespread and important as conventional neurotransmitters like glutamate or GABA!
Yet they act in profoundly unconventional ways...
We’ve always produced these molecules - since the dawn of time - without any contact with the hemp family of plants!
In the late 1980s, scientists were looking at plants that contained cannabinoids (like our CBD oil available here) to see why our brain reacts to them.
Not long after that, they discovered anandamide!
It’s often called the bliss chemical.
It’s found in nearly all tissues in a wide range of animals, plants and of course, chocolate!
We actually need anandamide because it helps support:
- Balanced mood
- Healthy cell function
- Digestive health
- Gut integrity
- Normal blood pressure
- Calmness and relaxation
- Emotional wellbeing
While it can support those needs - there’s a problem.
Our bodies also release an enzyme called FAAH that breaks down anandamide.
But… CBD oils like this one slow down FAAH’s ability to destroy our anandamide.
There’s a lot of research going on right now demonstrating how this same molecule can have an impact on our sleep, eating and pain receptor patterns.
One bit of research found that the positive feelings from exercise (sometimes called “Runner’s High”) seem to be produced by anandamide!
No matter who you are, there’s a strong chance your body could be destroying the small amount of this molecule you already have.
The good news is, you can increase the amount of anandamide available quite easily.
...and without feeling any of the negative effects associated with the more potent plant from the hemp family (if you know what I mean!)
Grab my premium, USDA Organic CBD Oil and enjoy that blissful relaxation!
My team and I put a lot of energy into bringing something unique to the flooded world of CBD.
That’s why we use my patented cold-pressing process to ensure none of the nutrients or beneficial compounds found in my organic hemp seeds are lost when extracted into the finished product.
