CBD and The Immune System

The Immune System

The immune system is a network of tissues, cells, and organs that collectively work with one another to help fight off foreign bodies whilst helping to destroy cells within the body that are not working properly. As a result, our immune system is amazing at helping our bodies fight off infections and illnesses.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

The endocannabinoid system is a complex cell signalling system within the body. The endocannabinoid system is made up of cannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes. Whilst

endocannabinoids are made within the body (endogenous cannabinoids), The ECS can also be stimulated with plant-based cannabinoids, which as a result can help bring balance to the body.

The endocannabinoid system works by binding with receptors in the body to help the body to achieve homeostasis, these receptors help to regulate functions in the body such as sleep, appetite, fertility, mood, the metabolism and immune system. This as a result may aid the body in fighting off antibodies.

Diet

A balanced diet is also crucial in helping to protect the immune system. Foods such as citrus fruits, broccoli, poultry and shellfish are a great way to help boost the metabolism. Additionally, green tea and turmeric are also known for their many health benefits as well as their immune boosting properties.

Overview

Overall, amongst all the panic it is important to try and remain calm. Hand washing is the most effective way of preventing the spread of the virus and ensuring a balanced diet is more likely to help the body fight off antibodies.
