The Benefits of Nutrition via IV Therapy
It’s common knowledge that getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals is crucial for health, but many people don’t realize that the way you ingest your nutrients matters almost as much as the nutrients themselves.
Nutrient Delivery: Food vs. IV Therapy
Eating a variety of nutritious foods is important for health, but there are many reasons that the food you eat might not be providing your body with the vitamins it needs.
1. Bad Digestion
Digestive difficulties are common. Not only do many autoimmune diseases contribute to poor digestion, but everyday stress can also have an effect.
When you’re stressed out, less blood circulates to your digestive track, and your pancreas makes less of the enzymes you need to break down the nutrients in your food. This means that more of the food you eat passes through you without being properly absorbed.
2. Rushed Meals
If you work a full-time job, your life is likely pretty busy. This means you probably have the tendency to rush through your midday meal. If you only get an hour for lunch, and part of that hour is spent waiting in line at your favorite restaurant, you might only have a half hour or less to eat.
You might even end up eating at your desk while trying to get caught up on work. Eating in a rushed, stressed state will lead to improper chewing and cause you to swallow bits of food that haven’t been properly broken down for digestion.
3. Junk Food
Another factor that comes with busy lifestyles is poor-quality food. If you work all the time, you might not have the energy to cook a nutritious meal at the end of the day.
Many of your meals likely consist of fast-food items, which are known to be nutritionally void and packed full of unhealthy fats and other inflammatory ingredients.
Direct Nutrition: The Benefits of IV Nutrition Therapy
IV nutrition allows you to bypass your digestive track and get nutrients directly into your bloodstream. This can be beneficial to anyone, but it’s especially helpful for those who suffer from digestive disorders that create states of malabsorption. For example, those who suffer from celiac disease often have intestinal damage that makes absorbing nutrients more difficult. This problem can be reversed once gluten is removed from the diet, but the healing process is slow, and IV nutrition therapy is an effective way to give these patients a boost of the nutrition they require in the meantime.
A few amazing facts about IV nutrition therapy:
- When compared to oral supplements, IV therapy can deliver much greater amounts of vitamins and other nutrients to the tissues of the body.
- Some of the nutrients that can be utilized via IV therapy include both water and fat-soluble vitamins, essential minerals and amino acids.
- Benefits such as improved mood, increased energy, reduced anxiety, better sleep, clearer thought processes and even faster recovery after exercise have all been reported by those who take advantage of IV nutrient therapy.
IV Nutrients: Getting Past the Fear
If this is the first time you’ve heard of IV nutrient therapy, you might be a little hesitant. Most people don’t like needles, so it makes sense to be nervous about the concept. However, IV nutrient therapy is relatively painless, and if you can get over the squeamishness, you’ll quickly realize that this is one of the best ways to supplement your nutrition and assist your health.
