Many people spend most of their time dehydrated and don’t even know it. We assume that the symptoms of dehydration come from being tired or stressed when often the first thing our bodies need is hydration. IV hydration speeds more fluids into your body than trying to drink enough, and it can have added benefits for your health.
The body requires hydration for all essential functions. Our cells need water to keep them functioning, and our blood needs hydration to flow smoothly. People can become dehydrated during an illness, from exercising and not drinking enough fluids to recover, or simply from not drinking enough water every day.
Symptoms of dehydration can include:
Many people do not recognize the signs of feeling dehydrated or attribute them to something else, not realizing how much better rehydration could make them feel. By the time you feel the symptoms, your body has already become dehydrated, and you may struggle to drink enough fluids to catch up.
IV hydration uses an intravenous line to deliver hydration directly into your bloodstream. This improves your absorption of the fluids and gets them into your system faster than trying to drink enough to rehydrate yourself.
To provide you with IV hydration, a small cannula will be placed under the skin, and the fluids will be hung in a sterile bag above your head so gravity can help the fluids into your body. For basic hydration, the fluid often contains only sterile saline, or water with salts dissolved in it. These salts help rehydrate the body by helping it absorb hydration and by restoring your natural balance of electrolytes. Because the hydration fluid has the same saltiness as blood, the body can use it effectively.
The benefits of IV hydration are both immediate, and if you use it regularly to stay well-hydrated, beneficial to your overall functioning. A hydrated body functions better and lets you think more clearly. Benefits of IV hydration can include:
