How To Avoid Getting Sick

While it is true that winter brings colder temperatures, it is wrong to think this directly causes people to get sick. In actuality, the viruses and germs in the air are the ones causing illnesses this season. While cold air may make these illnesses more unbearable, it cannot take sole responsibility for our occasional sniffles or serious bouts of flu.

The heat on our body actually changes some of the chemistry inside us that helps keep us healthy, so when exposed to cold temperatures for prolonged lengths of time, our body becomes more vulnerable to infections like common colds and flu. This doesn’t mean you have no chance of staving off sickness during the winter months – if you remain conscious about hygiene and staying away from crowds, you will be able to protect yourself against viruses.

This is where IVologist, your IV bar, comes into play; through our services, the body can gain access to much higher doses of Vitamin C directly into their bloodstreams for use in protecting them against potential viruses and infection. Studies have confirmed that taking vitamin C by IV therapy can cut down on cold duration and severity while also keeping the cold away in general. It’s clear that high doses of vitamins are beneficial for an improved overall immune response.

When you come down with the flu or a cold, your immune system must work harder than ever to fight off the illness – so it’s important to stay hydrated to help your body rebuild and heal itself. Proper hydration allows every cell and system in your body not only to exist but also to thrive, so if you want to feel your best, take the time to ensure that you are drinking enough water each day.

Your mother’s advice is not only wise but proven – washing your hands can significantly lower your chances of being infected with harmful bacteria and viruses, thus improving your overall health. So please do as our moms said and always wash your hands.

If you don’t get enough sleep, not only will it have an adverse effect on your immune system and make it easier for viruses like colds and flu to take hold, but it might also be a sign that your body isn’t being properly hydrated. It’s essential for everyone to get the amount of sleep recommended for their age group, both for mental and physical well-being.

The great thing about being in Texas is that temperatures don’t typically drop as low as in other places in the country, making it easier to take advantage of winter sports and outdoor activities as a way to get some physical activity while staying safe from illness. So why not start now? Get your family outside and reap all the benefits of an active lifestyle.
