A report states that around 34% of Europeans drink coffee every day.18 Due to this large daily consumption of coffee, it may sometimes feel that the heart is skipping beats or pounding out of the chest or the person may feel jittery, anxious, and tardy. Many people have found that coffee can help with the jitters and such other issues. Taking CBD along with coffee can reduce these unwanted side effects and make your coffee more enjoyable and risk free. CBD with Coffee is the new fashion now.

Coffee as well as CBD have various health benefits separately. If taken together, incremental health benefits can be achieved and it becomes a favourite morning beverage for coffee lovers.

The combination of CBD and caffeine gives a burst of energy, without any of the negatives that are commonly related to daily caffeine consumption. For beginners, it helps to relieve stomach aches or anxiety levels generally linked with caffeinated beverages. CBD gives a hint of soothing smoothness to the cup of coffee. It also helps in decreasing inflammation and pain in the body. CBD and Coffee, if taken together, lead to an increased level of productivity through enhanced alertness and concentration.

CBD-infused coffee works as a natural therapy in treating various health problems, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart problems, and many more.

CBD, without the presence of THC, can’t get anyone high or cause any kind of hallucinations. Hence, one can include CBD infused coffee in his/her day to day life without any problem.

CBD potential benefits

Mental alertness enhancement — The neurotransmitters in the brain, such as adenosine, manage mental alertness. These neurotransmitters are also associated with the regulation of the sleep cycle and feeling of fatigue. More the adenosine, the tardier our neurons are to send signals. Caffeine attaches to the adenosine receptor and obstructs its job. CBD is considered as the coordinator of adenosine as it increases the potency of adenosine directly. CBD also modulates the activity of the serotonin neurotransmitter (also known as happy neurotransmitter) and makes us feel more alive and happier.

· Relieves anxiety — CBD has been found to have the possibility of helping patients suffering from anxiety as well. Anxiety is also linked to low serotonin levels, and hence CBD’s impact on maintaining the balance of serotonin levels in the body, can have a positive treatment impact on anxiety. Multiple clinical evidence have supported the use and positive effects of CBD for anxiety patients. In a study conducted in 2019 it was reported that 300–600mg of CBD reduced the symptoms of anxiety in 57 male adults.19 Another clinical study highlighted that taking 600 mg of CBD product, reduced the anxiety in patients considered reducing stress, decreasing physiological effects of anxiety, such as an increased heart rate, improving symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and inducing sleep in cases of insomnia20

· Treating Inflammatory bowel diseases — CBD with coffee alleviates bowel-related problems. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic immune-mediated diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and include ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). CBD has shown anti-inflammatory effects that may prove to be efficacious in the symptomatic treatment of IBD. In the patients suffering from IBD, the endocannabinoid system gets compromised, further emphasizing the case for the use of CBD-based therapies.

· Other Disease Indications: CBD can help in treating seizures, lowering the risk of diabetes, encouraging cardiovascular health, improving heart and lung health and relieving depression.

· CBD with Coffee can help to maintain focus and work as a stress-reliever as well
