Hey there, everybody. For today's wellness tip of the day, we're going to be talking about anandamide, one of your natural cannabinoids. Anandamide activates receptors, mainly in your immune system, that are responsible for anti inflammatory activities. So you may be asking, well, how can I increase anandamide because I don't want inflammation. There's a lot of ways, but some of the easiest are to eat a colorful diet. Flavonoids that are found in colorful fruits and vegetables slow the breakdown of anandamide, so making it more available. You can also explore essential oils, such as the essential oils of lavender, black pepper or rosemary, or even cloves. And exercise. Exercise actually does increase anandamide levels. So if you do one good thing for yourself today, think about trying to increase your anandamide.
