Hemp (or cannabis) has been a taboo subject for decades. Over time, it has acquired a bad reputation because it is associated with crime and delinquency, altered brain development and also addiction. However, this "weed" is nothing more than a plant whose therapeutic virtues are still little known. In reality, consuming hemp has many advantages for humans and animals.
Here are some of them:
Rich in essential vitamins
Hemp seeds are full of vitamins, minerals, essential fibres and trace elements. They contain vitamin K, which prevents blood clotting problems, vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, calcium, which strengthens the bones, fibre, which helps the intestinal transit, and even folic acid, which repairs the DNA. In addition, they are rich in omega 3 and omega 6.
Loaded with antioxidants
Antioxidants are essential for the human body. They protect cells against deadly diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. They are also known to lower stress levels and help fight depression. People looking for the antioxidant effects of cannabis will prefer CBD cannabis oils.
Useful for weight loss
Medical cannabis is well known to increase metabolism and stimulate appetite. It accelerates fat loss and lowers cholesterol levels.
Rich in vegetable proteins
Vegans and vegetarians are always looking for protein. Hemp seeds are rich in vegetable protein and contain about 25% amino acids. This richness is found in hemp protein, more commonly known as hemp meal.
Fibre Officer
The fibre in the plant is excellent for the intestines and for relieving digestive problems. This fibre is essential for stabilising insulin peaks in diabetic patients. Thus, cannabis can also play a role in regulating blood sugar levels, which helps to control diabetes.
Fighting cancer
After years of controversy, the National Cancer Institute admits that cannabinoids such as CBD can actually fight cancer. They not only help treat symptoms, but also isolate and destroy cancer cells. They are used to manage nausea and therefore make it easier to cope with chemotherapy. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01983267?term=cannabis&rank=7
Fights mental disorders
The THC present in hemp is known to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It is also known to regulate sleep cycles in cases of insomnia. When consumed in low concentrations, it reduces anxiety. It has shown positive results in combating PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and eliminating nightmares in veterans returning from combat zones. https://www.cannabis-med.org/studies/ww_en_db_study_show.php?s_id=541&&search_pattern=mental
Cannabis is remarkably effective in calming tremors in people with Parkinson's disease and in calming epileptic seizures.

In summary, hemp is beneficial to consume, whether it is raw, in the form of seeds or flowers, crushed or pressed. There are many ways to consume it, but it appears that eating it allows the metabolism to get the maximum benefits.
