Why does marijuana make us so hungry?

in #marijuana7 years ago (edited)


 


The solution can be found in the manner cannabis stimulates our mind.

Humans possess a mobile method of activators and reactors, known as an endocannabinoid program. We specifically have two major receptors: CB1 and CB2.

CB1 receptors can be found in the mind whilst CB2 receptors have been dispersed across the entire body.

Once triggered, these receptors govern an entire group of procedures, such as hunger.

However, what causes them?

A succession of activators known as endocannabinoids. Endo meaning generated by our own body.

Pot includes similar compounds, known as cannabinoids. Except this time they're exogenous.

When THC, CBD, CBN and other cannabinoids from cannabis enter our blood (through smoking or ingesting cannabis) they mimic our own body's endocannabinoid activators and after that excite either CB1 or CB2 receptors, making effects such as thirst, joy, anti-inflammation, pain relief and a lot more.

Higher appetite is an immediate product of THC sparking particular CB1 receptors that increase the degree of hormones which cause you to feel hungry, no matter whether you consume 10 minutes or 10 hours past.


The way to prevent getting munchies from marijuana?

For many healthy, amateur users, munchies are only a component of their normal marijuana smoking regular. But some people today attempt to withstand the temptation whenever they are on a diet plan or a specific physical fitness program.

If you are not into gorging on simple carbohydrates like Pringles and Skittles (I love Pringles) here Are a Few Tips to prevent, curb or totally avoid munchies entirely:


Fill your stomach up with water. 💧

This is going to keep you feeling full, just be certain that you keep a bottle on you constantly since it will also aid with cottonmouth.


Eat a big meal right before smoking. 

It'll be a whole lot less difficult to withstand the temptation understanding that you just ate. Order some food on Door dash and get it delivered before smoking.


Finesse some gum. 

Chewing gum stimulates the production of saliva that helps with both mouth dryness in addition to munchies.


Eat a salad

Create a salad with broccoli, lettuce, broccoli and other vegetables which you have available. All these are low carb and high in fiber so that you won't pack on any weight.


Brush your teeth again

Cleaning your teeth will allegedly suppress your desire, but I have never tried it myself.

Make certain to try out these hints for your self and find out exactly what works and what does not. In regards to curbing munchies, nearly all is subjective.

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.

To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.

To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as [steemit](https://steemit.com) Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.
