Daylight Savings Time: Spring Forward with Wellness

Daylight Savings Time: Spring Forward with Wellness

March 14th marked yet another Daylight Saving Time, where we spring forward into warmth and renewal. However, this spring reset also comes with losing an hour of sleep. An hour of lost sleep doesn’t seem like much, but this change in daily pattern throws off our circadian rhythm, or internal clock, and can have severe health impacts.

CBD for Winter Sports

CBD for Winter Sports

For many snow enthusiasts, ski week is a time of great fun and excitement, but also great pain- from sore muscles to bruised bums. Skiing and snowboarding are some of winter’s favorite activities, and as the season approaches, the preparation starts. Whether you are adding new skis, poles or bindings to your arsenal, perhaps you should consider adding CBD to the mix too.

Winter sports and activities, especially skiing and snowboarding, can take a toll on the body. Whether it’s just over worked muscles or a bruise or twist from a fall, the day following your mountain adventure could be a pretty sore one. CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with pain management and reduction. Having CBD ready-to-go in your winter coat pocket could be a life-saver for getting you back on the slopes.
