CBD and Heart Health

More and more people are taking CBD oil as a daily supplement. But new studies have shown that CBD oil may even help improve your heart health. The best CBD oil for preventing heart disease is an oral tincture.

1. CBD helps to relax arterial walls

According to the American Heart Association, some 46% of Americans today suffer from high blood pressure (aka hypertension). Research has found that CBD relaxes the walls of the arteries, thereby reducing blood pressure, and protecting the arteries from the progressive weakening and damage caused by high blood pressure.

2. CBD fights inflammation

There’s a strong link between systemic inflammation and heart disease, though researchers are still trying to better understand exactly how the two are connected. A large body of clinical research has shown that CBD can effectively reduce inflammation throughout the body.

3. CBD may reduce the buildup of arterial plaque. Preliminary research suggests that CBD may help with the blockage of arteries caused by arterial plaque, a conditional known as atherosclerosis. Patients with high “bad” cholesterol may especially benefit from this effect of CBD on heart health.

4. CBD may help to suppress cardiac arrhythmia. Research has found that CBD was very effective in suppressing cardiac arrhythmia, also known as irregular heartbeats. This is a very common form of heart disease, and the findings, while still in the initial phases, is highly promising.

In short, CBD improves heart health and prevents further damage caused by the ageing process. By reducing the impact of congestive heart failure and atherosclerosis, CBD decreases the likelihood of heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases, and increases the chance of recovery.
