How Does CBD Help Seniors?
At what age do you become a senior?
The age at which we are considered seniors varies depending on the context. From a medical standpoint, seniors are aged 70 and over. According to the French state, retirement age marks entry into the senior years. According to INSEE, you are a senior from the age of 65. In marketing, the term refers to people aged 50 and over, as their lifestyles and consumer needs change. In the business world, it's 45, so imagine what it's like in sport!
You might also not consider yourself a senior at 80 – that's the spirit of eternal youth! But what interests us here is approaching the subject from a physiological perspective.
Quality of life for seniors
Over the past several decades, the profile of seniors has continued to change. Scientific progress has allowed us to increase our life expectancy significantly. As a result, our healthy life expectancy has greatly increased!
Seniors are now aware of the importance of regular physical and intellectual activity, as well as of having a rich social life. More and more seniors are signing up for sports classes or a range of physical activities, but also for courses or training to keep learning and preserve their intellectual abilities. It is also worth noting that a large majority of charity and association volunteers are seniors.
To make the most of all these opportunities, a balanced diet is of course essential. Consumption of organic food continues to rise, and seniors are contributing greatly to this. Nevertheless, the body changes over the years: for women, menopause plays a major role. In men, it is known as andropause. On average, these natural biological processes occur around the age of 50 and are often followed by sleep disorders, pain, or anxiety that appears or intensifies.
CBD: support for quality of life
According to several studies, the CBD molecule may play several roles in our physiological and psychiatric functions. This molecule activates receptors naturally present in the human body. Good results have been observed in patients suffering from sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and pain related to rheumatism, cancer and multiple sclerosis, as well as chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.

Further studies are under way, CBD surely has many more benefits to reveal, and the scientific community is increasingly focusing on this small molecule.
CBD for seniors

You can read plenty of articles in the press and in magazines aimed at seniors! Programmes about CBD are also regularly broadcast on the radio, so if you're curious, don't hesitate to look through the podcasts of your favourite radio stations.
CBD products are classified as food supplements, with no danger to your health. However, CBD can in no way replace medical treatment. If you are taking medication or undergoing treatment, we advise you to be careful and to talk to your doctor (interactions have been observed with anti-epileptic and anticoagulant medicines).
The products sold by Cali Weed are mostly organic, natural, GMO-free and made in France. They can be a valuable support for quality of life.
Finally, it is worth remembering that the WHO (World Health Organization) does not consider CBD a drug, and the World Anti-Doping Agency even permits its use by professional athletes. CBD does not cause dependence (no addiction) and has no "high" effect.
