Hemp & the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) - composed of cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and metabolic enzymes - serves an essential function in the human body: restoring homeostasis via various physiological and regulatory mechanisms.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can improve metabolic parameters like blood pressure, lipid profiles, and insulin sensitivity. Studies of omega-3s have also showed a link to addressing chronic inflammation and chronic conditions like heart disease and stroke.
Organic Farming & Whole Foods
The best way to nourish your body is with nutrients as they’re found in nature: housed in their natural matrix of proteins, fats, and fibers.
Stress & Inflammation
An unhealthy stress response is associated with higher baseline levels of inflammation. Addressing current life stress is imperative to reducing chronic, underlying inflammation that is associated with a variety of chronic conditions.
Subclinical Magnesium Deficiency
Magnesium is an essential nutrient, participating in a variety of body functions and supporting multiple body systems. However, as much as 50 percent of the population do not get enough magnesium for good health.

The Color of Food series is designed to improve understanding of the significance of phytonutrient and nutrient gaps, the GAE connection, the whole food advantage, and the role of specialty crops and the Farm Bill to provide the tools needed to make conscious decisions about our health and the health of the people around us.
