Travel season to Miami and Miami Beach is here. With that, so is an influx of cases of the common cold and influenza or flu for short. The act of travel requires spending time in high-traffic areas such as airports or train stations which can expose you to high percentages of viruses and bacteria. Typically, your body is well adept at handling most viruses and bacteria, however, if you have an immune deficiency of any degree, or even just tired and somewhat dehydrated, it is very possible to become sick from the germs and viruses around you.
IV Infusion therapy is a preventative method to avoid getting sick. IV Drips can be specifically formulated to assist in boosting your immune system with natural vitamins and minerals. A boosted immune system can help you fight off, or even prevent you from becoming sick with seasonal flu and colds which are rampant during the winter months.
Many travelers report getting sick with the cold or common flu after or during travel, particularly during the winter months when temperatures drop and more people are on planes to visit friends and family for the holidays and vacations. A recent report cited that travelers are about twenty percent more likely to catch a cold or flu virus while traveling by airplane as opposed to living their normal lives on the ground. While it’s not a surprise that airplanes harbor a lot of germs as they shuffle hundreds of people daily to a wide array of destinations, it is possible to boost one’s immune system leading up to a trip or right after a trip, to lessen the chances of becoming sick.
How to Avoid Getting Sick
1. Boost Energy, Hydration, and Immunity
High-doses of vitamins like the dosage used in our Wellness IV Infusion, promote an improved immune response. Our bodies are constantly working hard to protect us from viral and bacterial infections. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight off illness. The human body does not produce vitamin C. It must be obtained from outside-the-body sources either by consuming citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges) or by taking supplements. IV Therapy delivers high doses of Vitamin C directly into the bloodstream for the body to start using immediately. New studies confirm that vitamin C supplementation shortens the duration and mitigates the severity of colds, while also preventing colds from developing.
Our wellness formula IV drip can be taken as a preventative measure before, during or after a vacation, a business trip, or other high-stress situations. It can also be taken at the first signs of a common cold or flu, or whenever you feel a little depleted.
2. Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is important to maintain each and every cell and system in your body working in its best ability. The human body is composed of 60% water – as such, even a slight dip in hydration can cause problems in your system, including headaches, fatigue, and even shakiness and anxiety. When you’re sick with the flu or cold, your body is putting in extra work to fight off illness. It is very important to remain hydrated to assist your body in repairing and recovery.
IV hydration therapy supports your body by immediately delivering essential fluids and electrolytes necessary for quick recovery. Our IV Therapy fluids are specially formulated to offer your system with the proper balance of electrolytes and key minerals needed for proper body functions. In fact, consuming extremely large amounts of water alone (h2o) either by drinking or intravenously can have its own adverse and dangerous effects on the body. That is why the IV solution must be properly balanced and only administered by medical professionals.
At IV Division each and every one of our IV treatments is medically monitored by Dr. Jarred Mait. At the time of the appointment, the IV drips are administered by highly skilled nurses or doctors at the location of your choice, be it in the comfort of your own home or hotel room.

3. Get Plenty of Sleep
Your body regenerates while you sleep. Lack of sleep has an adverse effect on your immune system, making you vulnerable to falling ill with a cold or flu more easily. In fact, lack of sleep can sometimes be a sign of not being hydrated enough. IV therapy boosts both your hydration and immunity with a balance of fluids and electrolytes and vitamins essential to a good immune response.
4. Wash Your Hands
Your mother is always right! Do wash your hands, especially after being in high traffic areas and touching things such as doorknobs, door rails, and airplane trays and seats. This keeps harmful bacteria and viruses from infecting you and can lower your chances of getting sick.
