CBD PROMOTES MENTAL ACCUITY N
ow that CBD has inserted itself into mainstream culture, researchers have more time and money to analyze the different parts of the hemp plant. They found that different cannabinoids interact with our bodies in sophisticated and unique ways. Among the number of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, THC and CBD are the most familiar and widespread ones. CBD is a powerhouse compound because it can provide a wide array of benefits, similar to THC, but without the intoxicating effects of marijuana.
CBD doesn’t work the same for everyone, but it’s easy to try and comes with a big upside if it works well for you.
In golf, CBD can help you both physically and mentally, which makes it extremely powerful. During the off-season, it’s hard to work on your swing, but you can find new ways to improve your mind and be mentally tougher on the golf course. How many times have you been on the golf course and the game feels easy? All you need is a few pars to finish with a career round, but then you start thinking about it. In golf, most mistakes are made before you ever put a club in motion because you let stress and doubt and fear enter your mind. When you use CBD, it keeps you from overthinking and stay completely in control. There are many aspects that CBD can be beneficial to in regard to your mind, including: Getting a better night’s rest Reducing anxious feelings Balancing your mood Relieving stress Enhancing clarity and focus Promoting a sense of calmness Over time, your brain takes damage from the decisions you make, like thinking about how you ALWAYS slice the ball on a certain hole. However, as old pathways breakdown, new ones are formed throughout your life. The abundance of these new pathways is determined by how you have taken care of your brain. Luckily, your brain can regenerate by making new connections and creating new neurons that help your mind grow and repair itself. CBD is an external compound that can assist this process, speed up the timeline of growth and promote possible growth, while fighting off issues that may affect the growth of the brain. Taking CBD regularly can help promote this process on a daily basis, which is great for trying to learn new ways to play golf and manage your mind around the course. A CBD supplement - like edibles or gum - can help you get over some of the on-course stress that comes with a round of golf. It can clear your mind and give you better focus on each and every shot you hit.
