Is IV Hydration for you? Written by Krystle Maynard

We have all heard the importance of adequate hydration, but did you know there is more than one primary way to hydrate? Drinking water always seems to go hand-in-hand with diet and exercise. IV hydration has been most commonly known as a source of hydration requiring a visit to an emergency room. So, what if you could get your IV hydration along with vitamins and electrolytes right in your home?  Mobile IV hydration therapy may be the correct answer for you.

Hydration Importance

Adequate nutrition and physical activity are necessary for healthy growth and aging. Water is a basic human need, and many adults don’t consume enough of it. Even if people consume the recommended amount of water each day, it is often forgotten that we must replace what we lose each day, leading to dehydration. We lose body fluids every day when we exhale, eliminate waste, sweat, and even when crying. The average amount of water that people should consume each day is 2-3 quarts. 

Thankfully, much of the food we consume helps us replace fluids lost. Many fruits and vegetables consist of high water content. And while certain beverages count toward our necessary intake, they can be harmful at the same time. Caffeinated drinks such as soda and tea can increase urination, potentially leading to dehydration. Fluids may also be lost in people who are on certain medications, such as diuretics. 

Is IV Hydration Therapy Better than Drinking Water?

Drinking water is vital to a healthy life. It is necessary to drink water to have healthy bones, muscles, and nerves. But water alone isn’t always enough. When we drink fluids, everything we ingest passes through the digestive tract, where a lot is absorbed. 

IV hydration therapy delivers the nutrients and fluids your body needs directly to your bloodstream, allowing you to hydrate quickly and easily without worrying about digestion. Drinking large amounts of fluids quickly can also irritate your digestive system, causing your gastrointestinal tract to flush out all the good stuff your body needs.
