Working out, fitness, and healthy lifestyle choices are incredibly important when it comes to your overall health and well-being. Whether you are hitting up the gym and getting hours worth of intense workouts through exercise machines, or if you prefer to do your workouts solo by running on trails through the park, staying hydrated during these intense workouts is important. While most individuals who regularly follow intense workout routines already know the importance of drinking water and staying hydrated, there are times when you may not have paid enough attention to how much you’ve been drinking or feel you cannot get enough hydration. Luckily, there is something else that you can do to help aid in your efforts to proper hydration: IV Hydration Therapy! This can be a wonderful treatment that can keep you healthy even after intense workout sessions.
What is IV Hydration Therapy?
IV Hydration therapy is a therapy that is great for anyone – no matter your athletic experience or level. It is a great choice among those who work out both regularly or only once in a while – especially if you have a very intense workout that requires a boost of extra hydration. A Hydration IV therapy contains hydrating IV fluids and electrolytes to help keep your fluid levels in check.
What Does IV Hydration Therapy Contain?
There are many different IV therapies available for those looking to boost the immune system, look and feel younger, and even help treat certain illnesses and conditions. IV Hydration therapy is unique because it only has one goal – to boost hydration, which is beneficial for those who have had an intense workout session. IV Hydration consists of only two things:
- IV Fluids – IV Fluids are the base of IV Hydration therapy. Our IV Hydration therapy uses IV fluid, a sterile saline solution that helps hydrate you while delivering other nutrients directly to the bloodstream, making it much more efficient than simply drinking water.
- Electrolytes – Electrolytes are delivered through a combination of minerals that are essential to giving you energy, promoting proper muscle function and healing, supporting healthy nervous system function, regulating your blood’s pH levels, and allowing your body to more easily repair any damaged tissues, nerves, and muscles.
How is IV Hydration Therapy Administered?
IV Hydration therapy is administered intravenously to the patient, allowing the solution to directly enter the bloodstream instead of going through the digestive tract. This will allow your body to feel hydrated much more quickly than by drinking water alone.
Once you arrive at the office, you will be seated in a comfortable chair before the IV is hooked up to you. Then, you will feel a slight pinch as the IV is hooked up. From there, the IV fluids will be given to you, and you can sit back and relax and read a book, use your smartphone, or listen to music.
Is IV Hydration Therapy Safe?
IV Hydration therapy is generally a safe procedure that can help replenish fluids and electrolytes after intense workouts. While safe for most people when used in moderation, others with certain medical conditions may wish to let their healthcare team know what is going on and that they intend to get IV Hydration therapy. It is also important to note that IV Hydration therapy is not intended to replace staying hydrated through drinking water but as a supplement for those who are feeling dehydrated.
What Makes IV Hydration Therapy Efficient After Intense Workouts?
When it comes to intense workouts, you may become dehydrated much more quickly than you normally would. Often, hydration from drinking water alone may not be sufficient, as it has to pass through your digestive system first. IV Hydration therapy is administered directly into the bloodstream, which allows the body to use the hydrating fluids and electrolytes much more quickly, allowing you to feel better faster.
