Summer is synonymous with outdoor activities, vacations and social events, which can increase your risk of dehydration and leave you feeling depleted. To help you power through the sunniest season, our experts compiled recommendations to help you stay energized and hydrated all summer.
B12 and B Complex: The Vitality Vitamins
B vitamins are essential for energy production and overall vitality. They play crucial roles in converting the food we eat into usable energy and maintaining optimal nervous system function.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, in particular, is a powerhouse for boosting energy levels. It's involved in the formation of red blood cells and DNA synthesis, as well as the maintenance of nerve cells. A deficiency in B12 can lead to fatigue, weakness, and even neurological issues. Many people find that a B12 supplement, a B12 IM Shot or adding B12 to their IV Drip can provide a noticeable increase in energy, mental clarity and overall well-being.
B Complex Vitamins
While B12 often steals the spotlight, B complex vitamins (including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6) work synergistically to support metabolic processes and energy production. These vitamins are found in foods like whole grains, meat, eggs, dairy products and leafy greens, but sometimes, especially with the demands of summer activities, oral or intravenous supplementation can help fill in nutritional gaps.
For a quick and efficient energy boost, get an IV Drip with B12 and B Complex. IV Drips deliver saline and essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream for rapid absorption and hydration.
Cryotherapy: The Cool Way to Energize
Cryotherapy only takes 2-3 minutes, and a blast of sub-zero temperatures could be exactly what you need to boost your energy.
Cryotherapy may help:
- Increase Energy & Alertness: The cold exposure stimulates the release of adrenaline, which can increase alertness and provide a surge of energy.
- Improve Recovery: Cryotherapy can reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, making it an excellent choice for athletes or anyone engaging in physical activities. This quick recovery means you can maintain your active lifestyle without being bogged down by fatigue and pain.
- Enhance Mood: The endorphin release triggered by cold exposure can boost your mood and help combat summer fatigue.
- Better Sleep: Regular Cryotherapy sessions can help improve sleep quality for higher energy levels throughout the day.
Hydration: The Ultimate Summer Essential
Staying hydrated is critical, particularly in the sweltering summer heat. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, dizziness and low physical and mental performance. However, simply drinking water might not be enough, especially if you're losing electrolytes through sweat.
Electrolytes
Electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, are minerals that help regulate fluid balance, nerve function and muscle contractions. When you sweat, you lose these crucial electrolytes, leading to dehydration and low energy.
To replenish electrolytes, try:
- Electrolyte-Infused Water: Many brands offer water enhanced with electrolytes, which can be a convenient way to stay hydrated and energized. However, read labels to avoid artificial sweeteners and colors.
- Sports Drinks: These beverages are formulated to replace electrolytes and provide a quick energy source, though they can be high in sugar. Opt for low-sugar or natural alternatives when possible.
- Electrolyte Tablets or Powders: These can be added to water for a customizable hydration solution without the extra calories.
