Everyday Stress
Stress is the inability of an individual to cope with environmental pressures. It’s that tightening sensation in the chest, sometimes squeezing your heart and lungs.
Stress is actually quite a normal reaction, which triggers a flood of powerful hormones, giving us the extra help we need to survive. The problem is when stress becomes so overwhelming that it turns into a serious health condition.
What causes everyday stress?
We live in a stressful world and from the moment we wake up in the morning we are hit by stress. Whether it is because of an alarm screaming to get up, a long commute to work, or a hectic shift at work, stress is inevitable.
Everyone has different stress triggers. While the science of stress is nuanced, fear and uncertainty, attitudes and perceptions, expectations, and life changes can all cause stress. That said, daily responsibilities and relationship problems are some of the most common sources of stress.
And while millions of people suffer from everyday stress, there are many ways you can effectively manage it.
CBD for stress: Does it really work?
CBD is one of the best natural ways to calm your body down and help you feel at ease. According to
a study conducted by a team of psychology experts, CBD can relieve signs of stress. Their research concludes, “respondents reported that CBD use was effective for stress, sleep problems, and anxiety in those who used the drug for those conditions.”
“Evidence from laboratory studies have shown that CBD has anti-anxiety effects and may help to regulate learned fear by reducing its expression, with beneficial effects on emotions,”
reports Open Access Government.
Furthermore, since stress is primarily caused by anxiety, CBD’s therapeutic components can be used to
curb the symptoms of anxiety and help relieve stress.
