Water is essential for life, but you already know that. Likewise, you know that proper hydration is a crucial part of optimal wellness. Maybe you even have a fancy water bottle that helps you reach your daily hydration goals. But, despite your best efforts, you just don’t feel as refreshed and renewed as you hoped.
You’ve been guzzling water since you started your New Year’s Resolution, but you still don’t feel adequately hydrated… what’s the deal?
There’s a chance you aren’t actually drinking enough water based on your body’s needs. That’s because every cell in the body needs water to function properly, and when we don’t get enough, the body cannot function at its fullest potential. Not only does dehydration inhibit the body from maintaining a healthy body temperature, digestive system, and lubricated joints.
But when you become dehydrated, it can cause fatigue, headaches, and even kidney stones. To help you understand more about why you may be feeling this way, it’s important to understand the difference between IV hydration therapy and drinking water. Here are a few things our expert team at GIV Mobile IV wants you know.
You May Not Be Drinking Enough Water
No two people are the same. You may need more or less water depending on a variety of factors such as your medication list, diet, and activity levels. For some, drinking water daily is merely skimming the surface of optimal hydration. Expect to need more water if you are training at the gym each day or live in an area where heat and humidity can quickly deplete your hydration levels.
On the other hand, those who follow a healthy diet and consume the recommended five to seven services of vegetables a day may need less than the recommended amount of water to stay adequately hydrated. As a general rule of thumb, start with the recommended eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day and see how you feel.
IV Hydration Works Faster
IV hydration therapy is a safe and efficient way to restore hydration levels quickly. It can also provide other health benefits. Unlike drinking water, an IV infusion will deliver the nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This means that the body can start to benefit from the fluids and nutrients right away, rather than waiting several hours for the body to absorb them before flushing the toxins out.
In some studies, IV patients report an increase in energy levels after receiving IV hydration therapy. This can be beneficial for recovery and healing in athletes, those who suffer from chronic migraines or fatigue, and anyone else who needs an extra boost during periods of increased physical activity or travel (hangovers included!)
Nutrients Boost Your Hydration Treatment
IV hydration therapy offers more than just hydration. It is one of the most effective ways to boost your immune system and ensure that you stay healthy. The immune system needs adequate fluids to function properly and fight infectious diseases and other illnesses. And it also needs magnesium, B12, vitamin C – to name a few minerals that IV hydration delivers.
It’s possible to give your body a powerful dose of nutrients in minutes with the right IV therapy.
The best part is IV nutrition drips can also help with other health conditions, such as inflammation, muscle recovery, low metabolism, and even hangovers. Our clinic offers a variety of IV nutrition drips designed to address specific health concerns. Take a look at our menu and choose one that’s right for your needs.
