Athletes often push their bodies excessively, which may lead to fatigue and dehydration. But they’re also unable to consume all the right nutrients and minerals to overcome this issue. That’s when we recommend getting IV therapy.

IV therapy is gaining popularity in the athletic community as a quick source of rejuvenation and hydration. In this blog, our IV therapy experts in FL have discussed the exciting benefits of IV therapy for athletes. Continue reading to learn more.

Essential for that Post-Event Energy Boost

IV hydration therapy can do wonders for an athlete’s post-event energy levels and mood. In short, your body will thank you for acting fast to reduce inflammation and dehydration. IV therapy can also be customized with a unique blend of nutrients to address an athlete’s specific deficiencies.

It can help quickly restore fluids, minerals, electrolytes, and vitamins in the body.

Relieves Muscle Soreness

Athletes usually struggle with muscle soreness and minor injuries after events, and recovering can take anywhere from days to even a few weeks. IV therapy can be effective at reducing the recovery period by delivering nutrients to relieve tissue and muscle soreness. You can opt for IV therapy with zinc, selenium, and vitamin C to boost collagen production in the body.

Antioxidant-rich IV therapy is also popular among athletes as it’s effective at reducing oxidative stress.

Improved Endurance

Sports lovers and athletes cannot deliver their best game if they’re low on energy. But sometimes, playing at your best can get difficult, especially if your body lacks the required minerals and vitamins. IV therapy can help in restoring the essential nutrients in your bloodstream to support your body’s physical and psychological endurance.

Moreover, IV hydration therapy may be a safer and more effective alternative to energy drinks that usually contain too much sugar and don’t provide any beneficial nutrients.

Celebrities and social media influencers have popularized fat removal treatments, but they’re actually quite effective and safe in helping people achieve their dream bodies!

However, finding a safe and professional body lipolysis expert and choosing the right treatment for yourself can be challenging. Currently, non-surgical lipolytic injections have taken the aesthetic beauty industry by storm. Also known as liposculpture, this treatment can remove fat from body parts where you may be genetically predisposed to store fatty cells.

Read this blog to learn whether or not lipolytic injections are safe for fat loss.

Know When to Get a Lipolytic Injection

The safety of any medical or aesthetic treatment depends on the quality of the diagnosis. That’s why it’s important to see a professional and licensed practitioner. If you’re considering getting lipolytic therapy for fat loss, remember that it’s not a weight loss solution.

Lipolytic injections are considered safe for people who are near or at their normal/healthy body weight and want to target specific fat deposit areas. You must also commit to a healthy diet and lifestyle habits to reap the full benefits of lipolytic fat removal.

They Aren’t Painful

Lipolytic injections are administered with a local anesthetic, meaning that the recipient doesn’t feel anything but a slight tingling sensation. Your practitioner is also likely to apply a numbing cream to ensure minimal discomfort.

It Includes a Comprehensive Pre-Procedure Screening

Lipolytic fat loss treatments are performed after a complete screening of one’s physical health and medical history. At NEOGENIX Medical & Aesthetics, we use advanced ultrasounds to detect the areas with fat cells and cellulite buildup. This makes it easier to safely administer lipolytic injections while minimizing any risks.  

You can also leverage our fat-freezing and skin-tightening treatments to achieve a toned appearance.

Thanks to medical and aesthetic research and advancements, lipolytic injections don’t cause any major side effects. While you may experience short-term pain and redness, we recommend you follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions until and after the inflammation subsides.

Rehydrate with IVs at NeoGenix Medical and Aesthetics whenever you experience the following symptoms of dehydration.

Dehydration and the American Population

A recent study revealed a concerning pattern of chronic dehydration among 75% of Americans. It has everything to do with how much water we drink versus how much we lose on a given day.

The only reason women and men are asked to drink 2.7 liters and 3.7 liters of water (respectively) per day is that our body loses it quite frequently through urine, sweat, exhalations, and physical activity. 

Even if you don’t lead a particularly active lifestyle, your body loses water due to external factors like high temperature. You should seek drip IV therapy when your dehydration reaches a critical level and starts displaying the following symptoms.

Signs of Chronic Dehydration

If you or someone you know is experiencing the following symptoms of dehydration, don’t hesitate to reach out to our very own Dr. Vanessa Gaudin, a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in IV nutrition, among other things.

Dehydration in Adults

Dehydration in adults is characterized by the following:

• Dizzy spells
• Extreme thirst
• Exhaustion
• Dark urine
• Fewer restroom trips
• Sunken eyes
• Lack of skin elasticity
• Fever
• Seizures
• Low blood pressure
• Lack of spatial awareness
• Confusion
• Rapid heart rate

Dehydration in Children

Rehydrating with IVs is the first step to addressing the following symptoms of dehydration in children:

• Irritability
• Sunken eyes, cheeks, and top of the head
• Crying without tears
• A dry diaper three hours after changing
• Dry mouth
• Dry tongue

The Prevalence of Dehydration

The most likely victims of dehydration include babies, young kids, and senior citizens. Babies and young children get dehydrated easily because they can’t retain fluids like adults. Some babies also sweat faster than adults. Since they can’t vocalize their feelings, they’re the most likely victims of severe dehydration.

Kids get dehydrated when they’re more physically active or experience vomiting, diarrhea, or any other condition that causes them to lose water.  

People in the advanced stages of life slowly lose the ability to retain excess fluids. This, combined with other conditions, such as diabetes, diarrhea, and vomiting, causes them to lose more water than the average adult.

That said, dehydration doesn’t pick and choose. It can happen to anyone who has lost a lot of fluid on a given day. Think about it; when you get a bad stomach bug, doesn’t your doctor recommend IV therapy? They do this because it’s the quickest way to pump the fluids back into your body.
