Eat Your Weedies and Get Fit

I know what you are thinking, about this heading... Doesn't weed go hand in hand with the munchies and wouldn't that be counterintuitive to being fit? Well science actually says that those who use cannabis often tend to have a more proportioned height to weight ratio. Especially those who eat it. Yes, when you eat or drink your cannabis, the THC itself changes the flora located in your gut to help you lose weight. It is said that the long-term use of cannabis can also lessen the rate of obesity in an individual. Those who often eat their weed have a lower rate of metabolic syndrome as well, which is what usually puts that individual at a higher risk for future health problems caused by obesity. Another positive of eating your weed is the effect it has on your body, for instance, eating a sativa strain edible. Sativa is a natural 'upper'...and more energy, more focus, & better mood = more energy to exercise which of course can help with weight loss as well. I get it we're all exhausted the majority of the time because well, mommin', working and life and Covid...but eating a sativa strain edible or drinking it, can help light that fire within you so you can enjoy your journey to better health and being your best self. If you feel healthy, that's a pretty good indicator that you are. Don't get me wrong Indica can also help. Indica is a natural 'downer' which can equal better sleep. And a good night rest can help with weight loss as well. When your sleep goes down, your weight comes up because of this little cautious hormone, Leptin. Leptin is the hormone that tells you you’re full and pushes the body to spread out it's energy so it can last longer.  Now, when you are sleep deprived your body starts producing Ghrelin, which in turn, causes you to feel hungry and gives you those "midnight snack" cravings. 

And let's be real....when you haven't gotten a good night's rest, you wake up hangry, I know I do... which then throws off your whole healthy vibe you've had expected for your day. Basically, what I'm saying is if you want to feel healthier...eat your weed. Athena's Gifts has a whole variety of delicious things to try.
