Did you know that arthritis is one of the top causes of disability worldwide? Arthritis comes in many forms and impacts millions of people of all ages worldwide. Like many conditions, the symptoms of arthritis stem from chronic inflammation. This may sound daunting and mysterious but don’t worry. Let’s clarify what arthritis is, who it affects, and holistic solutions for daily management.

What is arthritis?

Living with arthritis looks different depending on what kind you have. Technically speaking, arthritis is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of more specific conditions that cause joint pain and muscle tension. Though there are over 100 different kinds of arthritis, the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

The difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis:

• Osteoarthritis: This form of arthritis is caused by regular wear and tear of the body. Over time, your body breaks down the cartilage that cushions between your joints. As a result, the affected areas become stiff and swollen.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that signals your immune system to attack your joints. Consequently, the affected areas become painfully inflamed.

While osteoarthritis is typically seen in older age groups because of its compounding effects over time, rheumatoid arthritis can affect individuals at any age. It can result from a specific injury, genetic inheritance, or the sudden development of an autoimmune disorder.

Is CBD good for arthritis?

Cannabis-derived supplements, e.g., cannabidiol (CBD), are becoming widely recognized for their ability to treat the symptoms of arthritis in a safe yet effective manner. Most importantly, premium CBD products are free of toxic synthetics that their pharmaceutical counterparts are so notoriously known for. So, if you’re in the market for natural health aids to alleviate chronic inflammation causing arthritis, you’re in the right place.

Cannabidiol has become a staple in the health and wellness industry for its ability to treat all kinds of physiological pain and discomfort, from joint pain to premenstrual syndrome. Recent research studies show promising results for using CBD to reduce the pain and inflammation caused by both forms of arthritis. In effect, it’s become wildly popular. People love this natural supplement because it doesn’t come with any of the intoxicating effects or harmful side effects that drug medications do, allowing users to live pain-free lives on their own terms.

Here’s how it works:

Undoubtedly, this century’s defining characteristic is the rise of science and technology. Unfortunately, this means we are more distracted than ever before. The distractions are never-ending, with click-bait news headlines and app notifications grasping our attention at the expense of our cognition. We don’t give enough credit to the hard work our brain does to perform essential functions such as memory, learning, focus, and concentration. Moreover, we often gloss over how modern social norms – such as checking social media 24/7 – compromise those mental processes. Anyone familiar with epigenetics understands the risks of normalizing these seemingly harmless habits for our generation and future generations. In today’s blog, we’re uncovering one powerful agent that restores 5 cognitive functions you can start using right now.

What are the main 5 cognitive functions?

Emotional Regulation

As we’ve talked about before, stress is inevitable. We have little control over the many external factors that impact our circumstances. However, we do have control over how we respond to external stress. Stress blocks access to the frontal lobe, the part of our brain responsible for logic and reasoning. Thus, learning how to cope with stress and regulate our emotions are two critical components of cognitive health. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) helps the body manage stress by balancing neurotransmitters such as serotonin and cortisol.

In effect, supplements that support the ECS benefit emotional regulation. Take cannabidiol (CBD), an earth-derived supplement known for its calming, anti-inflammatory effects on the brain and body. By engaging directly with the ECS, cannabidiol reduces stress and promotes emotional stability, paving the way for enhanced cognitive performance.

Focus and concentration

Because the distractions of today’s world are so pervasive, concentration is more of a challenge than ever. When you need to focus on meeting a project deadline or completing an important task, you...Read More

Have you heard about the new salad spot in Downtown Campbell? The story goes that they wanted to call it "The Best Forkin' Salad You've Ever Had," but the name was too long. They settled on "The Good Salad", which quite frankly is the perfect name for the restaurant because when you're done, it'll be very hard not to say out loud "now that was a good salad!"

When Sanad Al Souz set out to open a salad restaurant, he wanted his salads to be more than just a healthy food option. He wanted them to be salads you'd crave and look forward to and these salads are indeed delicious! The ingredients are all natural and prepared daily for the freshest flavor. Nearly everything is made in-house from the highest quality ingredients. All of their dressings are homemade and with the exception of their sesame dressing, no seed oils are used. They only use extra virgin olive oil.

The Good Salad has six signature salads on their menu with each one a chef-crafted delicacy to match a different flavor profile. You can customize each one to your heart's content or build your own salad from scratch. Even better, you can build it online and dash in and out if you don't have time to sit down.

The Downtown Campbell location of The Good Salad is the 4th location in the Bay Area. You might recognize their location as the previous home of the much beloved Brown Chicken Brown Cow. Downtown Campbell may be The Good Salad's fourth location, but it's their first one where they have a proper dining room of their own. Two of their other locations only offer pick-up window service only and the third one is part of a food court.

The Good Salad is located at 397 E Campbell Ave and they're currently open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday. They're located across from Rad & Co Salon behind Bestie's Boutique.

As cannabidiol (CBD) gains recognition in modern health management, it’s become a popular buzzword. But what is CBD used for, and how can you access its holistic health benefits? CBD is the second most prominent compound in the hemp plant, with potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Research supports this compound for achieving and maintaining internal homeostasis. This blog will outline the benefits and practical ways to incorporate cannabidiol into your daily routine to achieve optimal wellness.

What is CBD used for?

In a previous blog post, we discussed how CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of neurotransmitting receptors critical in regulating several physiological functioning abilities. The interaction between cannabidiol and the ECS influences these natural bodily functions, making CBD a versatile wellness supplement that enhances physical and mental health.

Relieving stress and anxiety

The common denominator of cannabidiol’s incredible effects is its anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show CBD reduces stress and anxiety by supporting the serotonin receptors in your brain. Thus, whether you’re dealing with a general anxiety disorder (GAD) or a specific stressful situation, incorporating cannabidiol into your daily routine can help you better manage by promoting a sense of calmness and relaxation from the inside out.

Enhances focus and mental clarity

A byproduct of CBD’s calming effects is enhanced concentration. People who take CBD daily report significant improvements in concentrating on important tasks, making it an excellent supplement for anyone looking to increase productivity. So, whether you’re preparing for a big presentation at work or need to stay sharp through a day full of back-to-back meetings, CBD products can be a helpful and valuable tool to lean on.

Supports better skin health

In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, cannabidiol contains some fantastic antioxidant properties. As such, it’s become a staple in many skincare products for several reasons. CBD’s powerful antioxidant properties support skin health by soothing irritation, reducing redness, and fighting signs of aging. Using skincare products with CBD means increasing your chances of giving off that clean, youthful glow everyone is after.

Improves sleep patterns and quality

CBD is a game-changing asset to your routine if you struggle with sleep issues. CBD facilitates a restful night of productive sleep for your brain and body by interacting with your endocannabinoid system. While asleep, your brain...Read More
