Healthy Eating and Cannabis

Essence - October 20, 2017/in Blog Essence /by [email protected]

You throw open your fridge and start tossing out all the junk food. It’s time to make way for the new, healthier version of “you.”

But when you discover a half-eaten pot brownie in the back of the fridge, you feel torn. You love cannabis, but the amount of sugar in that brownie is a big no-no.

Why can’t you have the best of both worlds? Why can’t you make healthy eating AND cannabis a part of your daily life?

Well, guess what? You can.

Keep reading to learn how to do just that.

Why Make Cannabis a Part of Your Diet?

The medical benefits of cannabis are well-documented, which brings to mind this old saying: “Food is medicine.”

Food does more than just give us energy. The right kind of food can help us ward off disease. It’s the ultimate preventative medicine, and when you consider cannabis’s role as an

● Antioxidant
● Anti-inflammatory
● Antidepressant
● Anxiety reliever
● Neuroprotectant

…then you can understand why Dr. Allan Frankel makes the bold claim that cannabinoids are essential nutrients. For him, healthy eating and cannabis go hand in hand!

Where Can You Find Healthy Cannabis Edibles?

Now that brownies, cookies, candies, and other sugary treats are off the menu (except on cheat days, of course), it’s time to find a healthier fare.

Cannabis-infused honey and cooking oil are great items to start with.

You can add the honey to your tea, oatmeal, cereal, smoothies, pancakes (healthy pancakes, of course), or you can drizzle it on fruit.

Marijuana-infused cooking oil can be used for stir-fry, baking, or as a condiment on pasta, salads, and bread.

A Quick, Convenient Way to Eat Healthily

It takes time to prepare a healthy meal. If you’ve had a long stressful day at work or school, you may be tempted to order fast food or toss a frozen dinner in the microwave.

But if you want to avoid the temptation of processed junk food, try the following:

● On your day off, make a big meal with enough leftovers for the entire week. That way, you don’t have to cook every day.

● If you run out of leftovers or just don’t have enough time to make that one big meal, try Foodie Fit. They prepare and deliver fresh, healthy meals for people who are too swamped to make dinner themselves. Plus, they’re open seven days a week!

A Quick Guide to Making Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil

(Recipe adapted from Buzzfeed)

● 1 ounce of ground marijuana
● 3-6 cups of olive oil (depending on how strong you want each dose to be)

● Cheesecloth
● Large bowl
● Potato ricer
● Airtight container

Instructions

● Pour the oil into the slow cooker
