Nashville natives are no strangers to a good time. Whether your version of fun is barhopping on Broadway, catching live music, or walking the trails of the Cumberland River Greenway, your body needs to keep up.
Long nights and nonstop activities can lead to dehydration, which sneaks up on you while you are out and about. If you notice thirst, fatigue, or headaches, dehydration might be setting in.
The best way to keep your body prepared for your adventures—and help it recover afterwards—is hydration IV therapy in Nashville at IntraVenous Solutions.
In this guide, we discuss how we help clients stay hydrated so you can continue having fun.
What Is Dehydration?
Your body requires all kinds of balance. Simply put, dehydration is an imbalance of water and fluids in the body.
Most of your body is water, including your organs, tissues, and muscles. In our bodies, water helps:
- Support the digestion process and remove waste.
- Lubricate joints so they can move properly.
- Produce saliva when eating.
- Deliver oxygen throughout the body.
- Regulate body temperature.
- Cushion the bones.
When the body uses or loses more water and fluids than it takes in, dehydration begins. Many people begin to experience symptoms of dehydration, which stem from the lack of fluids in the body.
If you do not replenish lost fluids through drinking water or receiving an infusion, dehydration continues and can worsen.
Symptoms of Dehydration
When you experience dehydration, your body’s normal function declines. Many symptoms are easy to spot; often, the first sign of dehydration is thirst. When you feel thirsty, drink water to help rehydrate before symptoms progress.
Other, more serious signs of dehydration include:
- Headaches as dehydration cause your brain and tissues to shrink and pull away from your skull, which puts pressure on the surrounding nerves.
- Tiredness or fatigue occurs as your body works harder without adequate fluids.
- Dizziness or lightheadedness due to lowered blood pressure and impaired circulation to the brain.
- Muscle cramps from an electrolyte imbalance, since electrolytes support muscle function.
- Dry mouth from the lack of saliva.
At IntraVenous Solutions, we see cases of dehydration from a variety of causes. Whether you have just fought through an illness or are recovering from a hangover, hydration IV therapy in Nashville can help alleviate your symptoms.
The Role of Electrolytes
Nearly every fluid and cell in your body contains electrolytes, small minerals that keep cells balanced. Electrolytes work inside and outside of cells, carrying electrical charges, which helps with various bodily functions.
There are 7 major electrolytes:
- Sodium helps balance fluids in the body.
- Magnesium helps cells while they turn nutrients into energy.
- Potassium works with sodium to support heart health.
- Calcium supports bone, muscle, and nerve health.
- Chloride balances fluid and helps maintain the body’s natural pH.
- Bicarbonate keeps blood pH levels within the normal range.
- Phosphate helps metabolize nutrients and support DNA formation.
Many circumstances leave your body depleted. With our hydration solutions, we replenish lost electrolytes and fluids, so your body can perform at its best.
Let’s look at a few of the reasons clients come to our hydration clinic.
Hydrating After a Workout
When you push through a heavy workout, or really anything that makes you sweat, the possibility of dehydration increases as you rapidly lose fluids. Sweat contains electrolytes, specifically sodium and chloride, that play a key role in keeping the body regulated.
Many people reach for a water bottle or a sports drink to rehydrate, and while those are effective, they can take time to work. We recommend refueling after a long workout with hydration IV therapy in Nashville, with our Hydration IV.
How Our Infusions Help Workout Recovery
Reduce your muscle cramps, headaches, or fatigue after a workout with our Hydration IV. We use 1 liter of electrolyte solution to provide rapid dehydration relief.
Hydrating During a Hangover
Your night out on Broadway does not have to end in a brutal hangover.
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it suppresses an essential hormone (vasopressin) that helps your kidneys retain water. Without this hormone, your kidneys create and release more water than usual—why you might take more bathroom trips than usual when drinking.
How Our Infusions Help Your Hangover
After a long night of fluid loss, many individuals wake up hungover, dehydrated, and looking for efficient relief. Our hydration infusion therapy in Nashville with our Hydration IV helps restore your electrolyte levels so you can return to your pre-party self.
If you are battling an intense hangover, including nausea, headache, or muscle aches, you might want to select our Recovery Plus infusion for your session. This drip uses a strong blend of vitamins, minerals, and medicines to help you rebound.
Hydrating When You Are Sick
When you feel under the weather, you likely lose more fluids than you take in. Water loss occurs through sweating, vomiting, or using the bathroom frequently, especially if you run a fever.
Many people don’t drink water while they are sick because of an upset stomach or a sore throat.
How Our Infusions Help You Feel Better
Replenishing your electrolytes and fluid levels when you are battling the flu, a cold, or any other illness can speed up your recovery. Staying hydrated helps regulate your body temperature and support your immune system as it fights your illness.
Opt for our Hydration IV when you are battling a stomach bug, or try our Immunity Boost IV that features vitamin C and zinc alongside a liter of electrolytes. Both of these infusions help your body return to normal faster, so you can get back to your favorite activities more quickly.
If you are too sick to make it into our clinic for hydration IV therapy in Nashville, use our convenient mobile services.
