CBD Supports Heart and Blood Pressure Health
Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the main compounds found in the hemp plant, is known for its potential health benefits in humans and pets. Unlike its counterpart tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn’t produce the “high” associated with cannabis. CBD works in the body of pets and humans through the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system plays a crucial role in supporting the health of various bodily functions, including heart health and normal blood pressure.
Understanding the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
The ECS is a complex system that plays a role in maintaining a range of normal functions and processes, including sleep, mood, appetite, memory, and cardiovascular health. The ECS is made of various compounds, receptors, and enzymes.
CBD interacts with the ECS by influencing these receptors, though it doesn’t bind directly to them. Instead, it modulates receptor activity and enhances the natural levels of other compounds in the body. This interaction leads to benefits like supporting a healthy cardiovascular system.
Heart Health Properties
The heart is made up of specialized muscle tissue that contains ECS receptors. During normal functions and times of short-term stress, the receptors utilize CBD to encourage healthy cellular functions. CBD also acts as an antioxidant within the body helping to maintain a normal inflammatory response within heart tissue.
Promotes Normal Blood Pressure
Even temporarily high blood pressure can put strain on the heart and blood vessels. CBD helps the body maintain healthy normal blood pressure by promoting normal relaxation of blood vessels and a healthy stress response. In addition, CBD helps keep the urinary tract balanced, maintaining certain normal hormonal systems that regulate blood pressure.
Assists Temporary Anxiousness
Stress and anxiety can not only affect pets’ behavior but can also negatively impact their blood pressure and heart health. CBD is known to have anti-anxiety and calming properties that can reduce stress levels in pets. A more relaxed animal usually has a more stable blood pressure, which reduces the strain on the cardiovascular system.
