Have the flu? Food poisoning? One too many drinks last night? It doesn't matter which apply to you, they have the same problem...dehydration Your stomach absorbs only a small percentage of what you drink. To get your fluid levels back to normal, you have to drink large amounts of water. One bag of IV fluids is the equivalent of drinking two gallons of water with 100% of it absorbed in your system. Also IV therapy bypasses the digestive system. This means no upset stomach which sometimes results from taking high doses of vitamins and minerals. The nutrients and electrolytes are instantly deposited in the bloodstream allowing for a much faster recovery time. Hydration Therapy can provide enormous health benefits other than rehydration. Many patients experience increased energy, an overall sense of well being, improved healing and recovery from athletic events, enhanced immune system, and stress relief.Also because your body easily confuses hunger and thirst, by staying hydrated you will eat less.
