CBD is becoming increasingly popular internationally because of its ability to alleviate the negative symptoms of many diseases.From treating epilepsy to alleviating chronic pain to improving heart health, CBD is emerging as a trend due to its therapeutic effects.

In recent years, researchers have identified the potential of CBD to treat a wide range of diseases and have supported continued research into CBD.

But in addition to the ability of CBD to treat disease, there is also growing evidence that CBD may have preventive powers and can stop the progression of disease in the first place.CBD is useful not only as a means of treating medical problems, but also as a preventive medicine to be incorporated into everyday life.

Numerous scientific studies have shown that CBD has many health benefits. The main benefits of CBD are identified in the WHO report:

Soothing effect.

Antibacterial.

Anti-inflammatory.

It is a powerful antioxidant.

Anti-anxiety.

Anti-epileptic and anticonvulsant.

Antidepressant.

Anti-psychotic.

Neuroprotective agent.

So how can CBD be used as a preventative measure to stop the progression of the disease?

Reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, involve the destruction or death of neurons in the brain. When this happens, the brain is no longer able to fully communicate properly with the rest of the body. These diseases can be extremely debilitating and may shorten the life span of the person suffering from them.

CBD has been shown to be a neuroprotective agent that can stop degenerative attacks on neurons in the brain by strengthening protective tissues. Studies have shown that taking CBD oil daily can improve neuronal health and reduce the likelihood of neuronal degeneration.

Help prevent stroke

Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. The more severe the lack of blood supply, the more damage the brain suffers because it cannot get the oxygen or nutrients it needs. In the most severe cases, this can lead to severe brain damage or even death.

CBD has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects and may prevent strokes. It also helps regenerate affected tissues after a stroke attack.

Preventing Hypertension

Chronic Hypertension can lead to cardiovascular disease.The positive effects of CBD on the cardiovascular system help to reduce hypertension and its associated risks, thereby stimulating blood circulation and reducing vascular calcification and blood pressure.

Therefore, CBD is used in preventive medicine to prevent and treat various cardiovascular diseases. In addition, CBD has anti-inflammatory, anti-stress and anti-anxiety effects, prevents the onset of cardiovascular disease, promotes the healing process and helps to reduce the damage that can be caused in the event of cardiovascular disease.

Reduces the risk of developing diabetes

Regular use of CBD products can have a positive impact on blood sugar levels and fasting insulin levels, thereby reducing the development of diabetes. Studies have shown that the use of CBD not only reduces fasting insulin levels, but also increases healthy cholesterol (HDL) and reduces insulin resistance levels, which may have a preventive effect on the disease.

The ability of CBD to reduce the risk of diabetes also stems from its ability to help maintain a healthy weight. Obesity is directly linked to the onset of diabetes, so weight control is often seen as an important preventive measure.

A high body mass index (BMI) is the total percentage of body fat and is associated with an increased likelihood of developing diabetes. Studies have shown that regular use of CBD can help reduce the risk of obesity and lower BMI.Regular CBD users tend to have a lower BMI and smaller waist circumference, both of which are risk factors for diabetes. 

In fact, it is estimated that obesity rates are approximately one third lower in CBD users compared to non-CBD users. Other studies have shown that CBD can reduce the prevalence of diabetes in laboratory rats. CBD has also been found to help the body convert white fat into easily burnable brown fat, thus helping to stimulate the natural production of insulin and the breakdown of sugar.

Prevention of heart disease

Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States, causing about a quarter of all deaths each year.CBD can be used as a preventive medicine to inhibit the onset of cardiovascular disease and improve overall heart health.

CBD helps to relax the walls of the heart's arteries, thus reducing the tension in the blood vessels and helping to reduce the work the heart must do to pump blood. CBD also protects the heart from cardiomyopathy, which causes the walls of the arteries to harden and thicken and restricts blood flow.

CBD has also been shown to reduce plaque in the walls of arteries, which can make it harder for the heart to pump properly.Studies have also shown that CBD is a potent anti-inflammatory agent, and inflammation is commonly associated with heart disease. CBD blocks the production of endotoxin, a pro-inflammatory cytokine that can contribute to the worsening of heart disease.

The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of CBD may protect the heart from tissue damage.


Reduce the risk of cancer

One of the most promising ways in which CBD can be used as a preventive measure is to hinder the onset or growth of cancer. Recent studies have shown that CBD can slow the growth of specific types of cancer cells and even cause their death.

For example, one study showed that animals given pure CBD had a much lower risk of colon cancer, while another found that CBD reduced the incidence of adenoma tumours. Another study found that CBD users were much less likely to develop bladder cancer compared to normal people.

Preventing bone deformities

Weakened bones are often a symptom associated with ageing. To ensure adequate bone strength, new bone material must continually replace old tissue over time. CBD has been shown to improve bone metabolism and therefore helps to replace old tissue with new tissue at a healthy rate, which is important for maintaining strong bones.

Cannabinoid receptors are able to do this by blocking the enzymes of compounds that hinder bone development, thereby reducing the risk of bone degeneration and disease such as osteoporosis.

CBD helps stimulate the process of new bone cell formation, which is why it has been found to accelerate fracture healing and reduce the likelihood of re-fracture due to stronger fracture scabs (35-50% higher bone strength than in untreated subjects).

Helps prevent rheumatism and arthritis

CBD reduces muscle and joint pain with fewer side effects compared to medication.

CBD plays a vital role in preventing osteoporosis, protecting the bone marrow from damage, preventing bone degradation, stimulating bone growth and improving the fracture healing process.

Protects and heals the skin

The highest number and concentration of CB2 receptors are found in the skin. the antioxidants in CBD (more potent antioxidants than vitamins E and C) can repair damage caused by free radicals such as UV light and environmental pollutants. Cannabinoid receptors are present in the skin and appear to be involved in the regulation of oil production by the sebaceous glands.

Topical CBD-based topical products are currently being developed around the world to treat problems associated with everything from acne to psoriasis, and can promote faster healing of damaged skin. In fact, historical literature shows that cannabis preparations have been used for wound healing in animals and humans dating back thousands of years.

The use of CBD oil for the treatment of skin cancer is becoming increasingly popular, with some well-documented cases of people being treated for melanoma and skin cancer by topical application of CBD products.

Anti-inflammatory

Cannabinoids have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in many studies. CBD binds to the endogenous cannabinoid system in many organs of the body and helps to systematically reduce inflammation. As inflammation involves a wide range of diseases, the therapeutic potential of CBD is enormous.


Many people are already utilising CBD to combat a wide range of illnesses in search of symptomatic relief. However, CBD can be used as more than just a treatment. In addition to reducing the negative symptoms of various illnesses, CBD products can be incorporated into a daily regimen to achieve and maintain overall health status. Through regular use of CBD, it has the potential to help people prevent some of the most serious diseases affecting their health.
