Why take CBD at work?

Whether you're an independent contractor, a manager or an employee, stress and pressure tend to be a regular part of your professional life, to the detriment of your productivity. Here are four reasons why CBD (or cannabidiol) could well become your future ally at work!

 
1. Because CBD is safe for your health

 
In a 2018 report, the World Health Organization (WHO) already stated that cannabidiol is a safe and non-addictive molecule. Even though CBD comes directly from the hemp plant, it does not generate psychotropic effects as is the case with THC. More recently, in November 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union also ruled on CBD. "It has no psychotropic effect or harmful effect on human health"She said in support of her decision to allow the marketing of cannabidiol in France. Here is an excellent reason to consume CBD at work.

 
2. Because CBD is believed to significantly reduce stress

 
According to a study led byADP Research Institute between 2019 and 2020, 55 % of French employees say they are stressed every week at work. The arrival of the health crisis and the sudden implementation of telecommuting have certainly not helped. To limit anxiety, CBD could be a miracle cure because it has no side effects (drowsiness ...) like most anti-stress drugs. Cannabidiol is known for its anxiolytic virtues and its high tranquillizing power. This essential molecule has the advantage of acting on the hippocampus of the brain and allows the effective evacuation of unpleasant sensations linked to stress.

 
3. Because CBD would improve performance

 
Self-employed people, employees or managers are often confronted with anxiety disorders inherent to their professional life. A deadline that is fast approaching, incessant phone calls, daily emails and, today, the omnipresence of teleworking are real sources of stress and distraction for any worker. Taking CBD-based products would be a relevant solution to improve performance. Indeed, it would allow to :

• Reduce stress
• Fighting insomnia
• Vitality booster

All three of these elements affect productivity during the workday. With CBD, there will be fewer moments of fatigue, which is ideal for staying fully focused on a task at hand.

 
4. CBD would be an asset to increase concentration

 
By influencing the 5-HT1A receptor which, let's remember, is related to serotonin, cannabidiol plays a valuable role in the digestive tract and in the nervous system. In contrast to antidepressants, CBD has the particularity of block the reuptake of serotonin by the brainThis is an important factor in reducing stress and increasing attention and concentration. Good to know: this molecule with multiple virtues lowers the rate of cortisol during the concentration phase by acting on the paralympic and limbic areas of the brain.

 
These four reasons demonstrate how useful and effective cannabidiol can be in your professional life. What about you, have you ever used CBD at work?
