Ever wondered what kind of food is actually good for cannabis growers and smokers?
Just like with cigarettes, when burning any plant material, harmful substances are released that affect the human body.
π¨ Smoke is full of harmful free radicals. These are unstable molecules with unpaired electrons. When they enter your body, they “steal” electrons from other molecules, causing damage. This process can harm not only your cells but even your DNA β leading to various diseases.
π The solution? Antioxidants!
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, reducing the damage and protecting your health.
π¨π»ββοΈ To stay healthy, itβs not enough to just eat βcleanβ β you need a diverse, balanced diet rich in antioxidants. Think of it like the entourage effect of terpenes: the more variety, the stronger the overall benefits.
π₯π
Fruits, vegetables, and spices are the best sources of antioxidants. Theyβre often more effective than synthetic vitamin supplements. But donβt rush to eat everything in your fridge at once β recovery is always a slow, consistent process.
π½ Top Antioxidant Foods Every Stoner Should Add to Their Diet
Vitamin C foods: Oranges, grapefruits, mandarins, and other citrus fruits. Since vitamin C breaks down quickly in the body, itβs best to consume it throughout the day in small amounts. Luckily, itβs found in tons of fresh fruits and veggies.
Vitamin E foods: Works best in synergy with Vitamin C. Sources include almonds, peas, cabbage, and more.
Carotenoids (Alpha & Beta-Carotene): Found in carrots π₯, tomatoes, corn, pumpkin, blueberries, plums β all powerful antioxidants.
Selenium: A key mineral for smokersβ health. Get it from oats, eggs, sunflower seeds, and salmon.
Hydration π§: Drink water often (not just a lot at once). Choose magnesium-rich mineral water like Borjomi or Essentuki.
Antioxidant-rich drinks:
Green Tea π΅ (classic choice)
Yerba MatΓ© π§ (contains up to 100x more antioxidants than regular green tea!)
Red fruits & berries π: Cranberries, pomegranates, cherries β all packed with antioxidants.
Wine & Chocolate (in moderation):
Red wine (especially Pinot Noir) contains beneficial antioxidants.
Dark chocolate π« (70%+ cocoa) is also a great source.
Spices: Turmeric π§ stands out with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
