Obesity is one of the most prevalent diseases in the western world. It is the leading cause of mortality and disability in the United States, putting a huge financial strain on our healthcare system.

According to the World Health Organization, obesity is described as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation, caused by superfluous caloric intake and a sedentary lifestyle.

In a recent study published in the scientific journal Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, a team of researchers studied the potential benefits of CBD in the treatment and prevention of obesity, finding that it can stimulate genes and proteins that enhance the breakdown of fat, decrease the expression of proteins in fat cell generation, and spur metabolic rates by increasing the number and activity of mitochondria.

CBD is also known to regulate appetite, stabilize sleeping patterns, and reduce depression which are all common issues for those suffering from obesity.
