JUICING OR A NEW WAY OF CONSUMING CANNABIS
Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy and balanced diet, but it can be challenging to stick to eating them regularly. For this reason, many people juice vegetables and fruit. Have you ever thought about adding a little cannabis to your morning smoothie? In this article, you'll learn about the health benefits of raw cannabis buds and leaves, and you can also make your own homemade cannabis juice using our simple recipe to help you reap all the benefits of cannabis.
Why juice cannabis?
Juicing makes it easier for many to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables. Fresh juices are a very practical and tasty method of getting all the fruits and vegetables you need into your diet. Many people prepare them at home as part of a healthy breakfast or after a hard workout at the gym to give their bodies important nutrients. Juicing is a trend that involves making fresh juice from raw vegetables (such as lettuce, kale, spinach, etc.) and raw fruits.
Nowadays, cannabis consumers are also starting to process raw fan leaves with juicers, adding a whole new dimension to recipes. In addition, juicing cannabis has many health benefits. Hemp leaves are full of useful phytochemicals, especially cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. In addition, they also contain health-promoting nutrients.
Moreover, the preparation of this healthy juice is very easy and can be done by anyone.
Cannabis juice and its health benefits
Cannabis has been the subject of much research for many years and much is known about its health benefits. Like many other dark green leafy vegetables, hemp leaves, stems, roots and seeds can provide the body with most of the nutrients it needs. Hemp leaves are full of phytochemicals, especially cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. In addition, they contain beneficial nutrients such as fibre, magnesium and calcium, sodium, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids, which are a good addition to a balanced diet. However, juicing cannabis is slightly more interesting than juicing other vegetables. Unlike cabbage or celery, cannabis plants contain the well-known phytocannabinoids THCA and CBDA, which can have a huge benefit in boosting human metabolism.
There has not been much official research on the therapeutic effects of raw cannabinoids, but a growing body of anecdotal evidence suggests that they could have significant therapeutic efficacy. Below is a brief overview of some of the main therapeutic effects of cannabis:
- Anti-inflammatory effects,
- neuroprotective effects,
- anticonvulsant effects,
- appetite stimulant,
- strengthens the immune system,
- improves digestion,
- improves and accelerates metabolism.
Other reasons why cannabis juice is so beneficial is the fact that it makes you consume cannabinoids in their acidic form: THC-A, CBD-A and others. This means that they have almost no psychoactive effect, so you can take full advantage of all the medicinal benefits that cannabis has.
How to make cannabis juice?
To juice cannabis, you only need two things: a juicer and a few fan-shaped cannabis leaves. But make sure you only use plants that have been grown 100% organically. Definitely do not use plants that have been chemically treated.
To reduce the bitterness of raw cannabis, it is recommended to add other vegetables or fruits.
Dried cannabis is not suitable for juicing. Remember that the main purpose of juicing is to use raw, fresh cannabis. By drying, cannabis loses most of its nutritional and medicinal benefits, so it is essential to always use fresh, raw plants.
The plant must first be washed with clean water to remove dust and other impurities that may have settled on it.
The possibilities are endless when juicing. Experiment and mix cannabis with other vegetables and fruits.
