How CBD Could Be Used to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease
Numerous studies in rodents and humans have demonstrated that CBD has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. These effects may not always be consciously detected unless injury or disease has triggered the inflammation. But brain inflammatory processes are often ongoing, and they build up as we age. They can be triggered, for instance, by injury, alcohol, or disease processes. Persistent low levels of brain inflammation are harmful and cause a host of long-term problems. Dampening brain inflammation is therefore an important strategy to reduce risk for age-related brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This establishes a theoretical framework for CBD’s prevention of AD of which there’s emerging supportive pre-clinical data.
