Marijuana & Hemp Affect Brain Health
Welcome to another HealthNews video news release brought to you by HealthNews.
In today’s news we look at marijuana and hemp’s affect on brain health.
Studies on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are controversial, yet it is an important topic since marijuana has been decriminalized in many states to be used as a medicine and for recreation.
Currently over 30% of 12th graders and 50% of college student reported using marijuana.
In the past 23 years the concentration of THC in marijuana products has increased from 4% to 15%.
How does marijuana & hemp affect your brain health?
The human body produces compounds called cannabinoids, like those found in marijuana.
Cannabinoids help regulate learning, memory, pain control and sleep and are necessary for brain development in early childhood.
If a child is exposed to marijuana, the THC in it can attach to brain cells and prevent the child’s own cannabinoids from attaching to these brain cells.
Animal studies showed prolong use of THC in early life may interfere with learning, memory and brain development, and cause abnormal social behavior.
It may also cause strokes, irregular heartbeats or addiction in adults.
You can improve your overall health by eating a nutritious diet right for your Metabolic Type, regular exercise, quality sleep, and a positive attitude.
