According to John Hopkins University, "colds, flus and other respiratory illnesses are more common in colder months." While traditional preventive measures like handwashing and vaccination remain vital, modern medical therapies offer additional effective ways to boost your immune system. In this article, we'll explore the potential benefits of the New Myers IV Drip, Whole Body Cryotherapy and Red Light Therapy to help you and your loved ones avoid or lessen the duration of respiratory infections.
New Myers IV Drip
The New Myers IV Drip is a customized intravenous nutrient infusion designed to boost your well-being. It includes essential vitamins and minerals including:
- Vitamin C: Vitamin C is known for its potential to reduce the duration of the common cold.
- B Complex: B complex includes B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6. These B vitamins may increase energy and reduce the body’s response to stress.
- Zinc: If supplementation starts early, Zinc has been shown to lessen the severity and duration of the common cold.
Whole Body Cryotherapy
Whole Body Cryotherapy involves exposing your whole body to subzero temperatures for less than 3 minutes while you listen to your favorite song, and it has shown promise in enhancing immune response:
- Boost in White Blood Cells: Regular cold immersion, such as ten sessions or more, has been associated with an increase in immunity and suggests that cold therapy may boost white blood cell levels.
- Lowered Cortisol Levels: Cryotherapy has the potential to lower cortisol levels, which may reduce the risk or duration of infections by modulating the body's stress response.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy sessions are 10–15 minutes long and they work by utilizing low levels of red or near-infrared light to boost your mitochondria. Benefits for your immune function include:
- Improved Lung Function: Red Light Therapy may improve lung inflammation, promoting overall respiratory health. Additionally, research has found that Red Light Therapy may speed up the recovery of pneumonia.
Start Feeling Better Faster
While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for cold and flu season, incorporating specific nutrients and modern medical therapies into your regular wellness routine during the winter months may offer additional layers of protection. By embracing a holistic approach to immune health, you can help fortify your defenses.
