Obesity is a growing problem in many places across the world, including the US. Everywhere we turn, fast food options call our name, and with so much to do each day, we are tempted to pick easy, quick meals that are full of sugar and other unhealthy additives. Thankfully, CBD oil’s combination of healthy fats, terpenes, and powerful phytocannabinoids all work together to optimize fat burning.
Fat cells are called adipocytes, and come in two types: white and brown. White fat cells hold a single fat droplet; brown fat cells contain many fat droplets, as well as mitochondria (the energy producers of the cell). Because brown fat cells have mitochondria, they can produce heat and become active when we are exposed to the cold. Fat-burning can occur when these existing brown adipocytes are activated, or when white adipocytes turn into brown adipocytes when exposed to cold, a process called browning. The journal Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry found that CBD can kickstart both forms of fat burning.
Of the many CBD carrier oils that promote fat-burning, MCT oil (made from coconut oil) is the best option for this purpose. Research suggests taking CBD oil made with MCT oil before you exercise may help you burn more fat than carbs for energy. CBD oil made with MCT oil may also be more effective at promoting weight loss in general than CBD oil made with olive oil or other carrier oils. Drizzle CBD oil onto your vegetables each day to get a fast energy boost that helps you burn fat and feel your best.
