Your body gets the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals it needs primarily from the food and liquids you consume. As soon as you finish chewing, your body gets to work breaking down your food and absorbing the nutrients it needs to function properly. According to the Mayo Clinic, the entire process of digestion—from consumption to excretion—takes 2-5 days depending on the person. That’s a pretty long time! The common American diet contains a large amount of processed food which tends to be lower in the vitamins and minerals our bodies need. If someone consumes a lot of processed food, their bodies probably are lacking the nutrients normally found in whole foods. Also, our bodies sometimes need key nutrients quicker than it takes to absorb them from our diets. Enter: IV therapy. IV therapy delivers nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and hydration to the body in a quick, easy, and comfortable way. You can boost your immunity, slow down aging, and give the body the minerals it needs—all in a convenient IV therapy session. IV therapy can be used in many ways, and some of them might surprise you.
