Traveling to new places can be exciting and adventurous, but it also comes with increased exposure to various factors that can challenge your health. Airports, unfamiliar environments, stress and changes in diet and sleep patterns can all take a toll on your immune system. Ensuring your body is ready to face these challenges head-on is crucial for a smooth and enjoyable journey. Here are some strategies from our experts to help boost your immunity before traveling.
Whole Body Cryotherapy
Whole Body Cryotherapy involves exposing your body to extremely cold temperatures for a short duration. This stimulates the production of white blood cells, which are instrumental in fighting off infections. Moreover, Cryotherapy has been shown to improve sleep quality, which is essential for a robust immune system.
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHbOT)
mHbOT entails breathing enhanced oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases oxygen levels in your blood. This therapy is particularly beneficial for travelers experiencing altitude headaches, as it helps alleviate symptoms by enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues and cells.
IV Drip Therapy
Our three Immunity IV Drips—the resilience-building Defender, the stress-melting New Myers and the system-boosting Cold & Flu—are a great way to fortify your immune system before traveling. These Drips feature Glutathione and Vitamin C, two powerful antioxidants that work together to keep you feeling your best. Glutathione, often called the "Mother of Antioxidants," helps neutralize free radicals, protect cells from damage and support healthy immune function. Vitamin C strengthens your defenses by supporting white blood cell activity and helping your body fight off stressors more effectively. Both provide a helpful edge to give your body added support before you take off.
B Complex, B12 and Zinc
B Complex vitamins are essential for immune function, energy production and overall well-being. Within the Complex, B6 and Vitamin B12 are especially important for keeping the immune system strong. Zinc also plays a vital role in supporting immune cell activity and helping reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms. You can find all three of these nutrients in select Immunity IV Drips.
5 Additional Ways to Boost Your Immunity
Diet
Ensure your diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, yogurt and healthy fats. These foods provide essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as probiotics and selenium, all vital for immune function.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water to maintain optimal immune function. Hydration helps flush toxins from your body and ensures proper cell function.
Regular Exercise
Engage in moderate exercise regularly to boost the production of white blood cells and antibodies, enhancing your body's ability to fight infections.
Stress Management
Chronic stress weakens the immune system, making you more vulnerable to illness. Practice stress-relieving techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, yoga or spending time in nature.
Quality Sleep
Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, even while traveling. Adequate sleep is essential for a robust immune system.
