Suppresses Appetite
This compound is a holy grail for weight loss. While many people think that cannabis
is linked with increased appetite and hunger. It is true, but the effect is associated with
the component tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC activates the CB1 receptors in the
body which somehow increases appetite. On the other hand, CBD indirectly
deactivates CB1 receptors by acting on other molecules which block them off.
Deactivating these receptors may help to prevent overeating and curb the appetite.
Boosts Metabolism:
Research suggests that CBD may boost body metabolism leading to reduced body
mass index (BMI) and lower body weight.
A recent study of CBD on animals found that this effect is linked with the
endocannabinoid system. It interacts with receptors that help to boost metabolism.
