CBD in the new year

That one pesky resolution at the top of the list each year. Do you know the four types of exercise and what they can do for your body? We did a little bit of research for you.

♦ Endurance

This kind of exercise improves the health of your lungs, your heart, and your circulatory system. Aerobic exercise both delays and prevents diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancers. Whether you’re going for a nice and soothing walk or running on your favorite trail, it’s recommended that you engage in aerobic exercise for at least 75 to 150 minutes per week. 

♦  Strength

Strength exercise stimulates bone growth, lowers blood sugar, improves balance and posture, and helps reduce pain in the back and joints. Don’t have dumbbells? Not a problem! Squats, lunges, and push-ups are great ways to exercise our strength from the comfort of our homes. 

♦  Balance 

Practicing steady balance helps to prevent falls and injury, especially with age. With a little bit of yoga, tai chi, or Pilates, you’ll be sure to stand tall and proud with your crown on tight.

♦  Stretching 

Often neglected, stretching prevents muscle and joint cramps, strains, and pain. Stretching regularly allows for a life of more muscle mobility, and it’s recommended that we incorporate stretching into our routine at least three days a week. 

To combat the soreness and the tension that comes with working out, we recommend WINK’s Body Salve for pain, muscle soreness, and cramps. An organic topical comprised of natural butters and oils with full spectrum CBD, our balm is the perfect way to stay rejuvenated after exercise.  

Women live busy lives. That’s our reality. Whether we work 9 to 5, take care of children, or take care of our own needs, we often don’t have the time to get a full night’s worth of sleep. Here’s why sleep is important:

♦  Sleep boosts our immune systems. 

♦  Sleep strengthens our hearts. 

♦  Sleep directly impacts mood. 

♦  Sleep increases productivity.

♦  Sleep can lead to an increase in exercise performance. 

♦  Sleep improves memory. 

There’s no doubt that proper sleep is important. But a problem many of us deal with is anxiety, which can lead to sleep disorders. One of CBD’s many joys is that cannabidiol reduces chronic pain and anxiety, therefore increasing the quality of sleep.

Women dealing with anxiety or sleep disorders are likely to experience high amounts of cortisol, the stress hormone, at night, resulting in more awakenings or a generally less-pleasant sleep. But in one study, researchers found that cortisol levels decreased when CBD was taken, suggesting that CBD can often act as a natural sedative for those dealing with sleeping difficulties.

In 2021, it’s important that we get the right amount of sleep to allow our bodies to perform at their best. Our WINK Gummies are the perfect product to achieve that restful night’s sleep at last. You deserve it.

A must on every woman’s list of 2021 resolutions. With our WINK Scrubs, exfoliation is at the top of our self-care priorities. 

Here are some of the benefits of exfoliating your face and body at least once a week: 

♦  Exfoliating increases cell turnover.  

♦  Exfoliating unclogs pores. 

♦  Exfoliating stimulates collagen synthesis.  

♦  Exfoliating boosts both circulation and lymphatic drainage. 

♦  Exfoliating helps other skincare products penetrate the skin even deeper. 

♦  Exfoliating evens out your skin tone. 

♦  Exfoliating prevents acne.

Self care means many things, and there are many benefits that come with self care and relaxation. Focus can be improved, sleep can be improved, and relationships can be strengthened. This year, take care of yourself.

Coupled with 100mg of CBD, our WINK Sugar and Salt Scrubs are made with all natural ingredients, perfect for both purifying and detoxing your skin. 

Another tricky resolution at the top of the list each year, but nonetheless an important one. Ever heard of a little something called MCT oil? 

Our WINK CBD Tinctures are combined with MCT oil for a rejuvenating and energetic experience, perfect for post-workout soreness, or for some morning energy. Here are some of the benefits of incorporating MCT oil into your diet:

♦  MCT oil reduces lactate buildup and helps use fat for energy. 

♦  MCT oil reduces risk factors for heart disease.  

♦  MCT oil helps manage blood sugar levels.  

MCT oil is a phenomenal source of energy, benefiting every woman's diet. According to studies, when coupled with CBD, MCT oil acts as a carrier entering the bloodstream, keeping the desired CBD compound from being degraded by the digestive system. 

WINK's CBD Tincture is sure to keep you energized for a busy day, on top of all the wonderful benefits that MCT oil offers.
