Texas summer is no joke, and we’re reaching the point in the season where we should all be taking extra measures to stay safe and healthy as temperatures rise.
Regardless of if you’re chugging water all day long or you’re guilty of reaching for a can of Diet Coke more than your water bottle, there are some other things we can be doing to make sure we’re hydrated this summer.
We’ve written before about the benefits of IV therapy, but today we want to focus on the advantages of getting this treatment in the summer months and specifically how they can help keep you hydrated.
If you’re not familiar with IV therapy, you can check out this page for some useful starter info. Read on to learn more about why IV therapy may be an excellent option for beating the summer heat and staying healthy!
Beat the Texas Heat with IV Therapy
Unless you’re able to sit inside your home with the AC on blast, you’re sweating. When we sweat, our body is losing electrolytes. Why does this matter?
Ask anyone how they plan to stay healthy this summer, and they’ll likely say “drink water” and while that is important, maintaining balanced electrolytes is equally as important. Our body can’t fully absorb the water we’re consuming without the proper amount of electrolytes.
Electrolytes are minerals that have:
- An electric charge
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Magnesium
When these are in balance, our body can regulate the functions of muscles and nerves and keep our cells hydrated. Therefore, an imbalance of electrolytes can open us up to the risk of dehydration.
In addition to staying hydrated, you also need sufficient electrolytes to absorb vitamins and minerals from the food you eat.
Electrolyte Imbalance and Dehydration can manifest in various ways. Some of the most common signs of these conditions are:
- Fatigue/exhaustion
- Headache
- Muscle weakness
- Faster than normal heart rate
Think Dehydration Can Only Occur in the Summer?
Wrong. Studies from New York Hospital and Cornell Medical Center found that 75% of its 3,003 subjects were experiencing chronic dehydration, and the consequences can be detrimental.
When left untreated, dehydration can cause physical and emotional distress, making it hard to concentrate and making us feel sick. Apart from being aware of how much water you’re drinking, why not try out one of our IV therapies?
