Plant-Based Sleep Remedies
An estimated 1 in 3 Americans fails to get enough sleep each night. Sleep deprivation can not only impact your mood and productivity, but also lead to several serious long term health defects.
While some turn to pharmaceutical sleep aids to find relief, they are far from a healthy solution. In fact, they can seriously escalate the issue. A New York Times article reported that prescription insomnia drugs zolpidem (Ambien, Edluar, Intermezzo and Zolpimist), zaleplon (Sonata) and eszopiclone (Lunesta) can lead to injury and death from sleepwalking, sleep-driving and engaging in other hazardous activities while not fully awake.” In addition, pharmaceutical sleep aids can be habit-forming and may cause daytime sleepiness
With growing awareness of the risk associated with these sleep aids, many are looking for a more natural approach to a good night of sleep. And with more Americans looking to enhance their wellness, it’s easier than ever to find holistic sleep remedies.
Veganism + CBD
Despite the many fleeting trends in the wellness industry, it has become clear that veganism is here to stay. Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals. Though there are many ways to embrace a vegan lifestyle, all vegans eat a plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat, dairy, eggs and honey.
The benefits of veganism spread far and wide, helping this trend outlast other diet fads. First off, there are great environmental benefits that come from reduced meat and dairy farming. In addition, a vegan diet helps support the humane treatment of animals. And lastly are the personal health and wellness benefits that stem from a plant based diet. Veganism harnesses the benefits of plant based superfoods, giving your body a healthy and robust assortment of nutrients.
CBD is becoming an increasingly popular superfood in the vegan diet. CBD is a naturally occurring compound which is extracted directly from the hemp plant. CBD is a healthy and powerful addition to a vegan's wellness regimen.
