At a time when so many things seem out of our control, we can place our focus on what is within our control. One of those things right now is your health, and your immune system is the cornerstone of your body’s ability to defend itself from attack.

According to Harvard Health Publishing, every part of your body works better when you make healthy lifestyle choices, and that includes the immune system. Among the list of healthy choices are basics like eating a healthy diet, regular exercise and hand washing, along with getting adequate sleep and minimizing stress.

You probably don’t need an article from Harvard to tell you that being stressed out and not sleeping enough or not sleeping well puts you in prime position to get sick. And that’s where cannabidiol (CBD) may help. Studies are showing that CBD can support sleep, as well as impact the negative consequences of stress.

A CBD regiment can be particularly helpful for those dealing with autoimmune disease or a hyperactive immune system. Read more about it in this article from the Chicago Tribune.
