January in Idaho means we will be shoveling snow. In fact, it seems as if we are shoveling snow everyday during January. And when you add in the Idaho wind, you end up shoveling a lot of snow, over and over again as it blows back to the area you just shoveled.
SNOW AND PAIN
All this shoveling can add up to a lot of back, shoulder, hip and neck pain. CBD can help with inflammation and muscle and joint pain. Several studies have indicated that taking CBD can be an effective method of reducing pain. You can see some of the research on our Research page.
HEART ATTACK THREAT WHEN SHOVELING SNOW
Because we are usually moving snow in the early morning hours and because of the stress of shoveling snow, the threat of a heart attack is increased. According to an article on WebMD, the most common time of day for heart attacks is the morning and new research suggests that morning heart attacks are also the most serious. Although CBD can’t prevent a heart attack, it has shown some promise in cardiovascular health and can help promote a healthy heart. We need to be careful when out in the early morning shoveling snow and to pay close attention to any symptoms of a heart attack.
JANUARY DEPRESSION
We are all aware of S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). This disorder has the same symptoms of depression and usually occurs during winter when we get reduced sunlight. Because it has the same symptoms of depression, CBD may be able to help alleviate those symptoms. CBD does help with anxiety and depression and may be a way to manage Seasonal Affective Disorder.
CBD CAN HELP US GET THROUGH JANUARY
CBD can be a way we can alleviate some of the negative aspects associated with January and the winter aches and pains and the blues.
