Safe & Healthy Winter Travel Tips from Vida-Flo
January 13, 2022
The wintertime is uncomfortable enough with the wet and cold weather. But nothing puts a damper on seasonal travel like a sudden illness, whether it be the common cold, flu, or a nasty stomach bug. If you have travel plans in the forecast then you'll want to stay in top shape so that you can make the most of your time off. Keep reading to check out winter travel tips from Vida-Flo!
Practice Good Hygiene
Whether you're traveling by plane, train, or automobile, you'll want to be sure that you practice good hygiene during your travels. Washing your hands before you sit down to enjoy a meal is one of the biggest ways to prevent catching an unfortunate cold or flu. There may be times when you are not near a sink, and carrying a small travel-sized hand sanitizer can help you stay germ-free while on the go.
Get Plenty of Rest
We all know that getting enough shut-eye is essential to your overall health, but did you know that it is vital to your ability to fight off illness and disease? When your body is deprived of sleep, your immune system is not likely to function as efficiently as it does when you are well-rested. While it might seem beneficial to seek out red-eye flights in hopes of more affordable airfare, remember that you may be compromising your immune system unnecessarily. Health is wealth.
Stay Hydrated
During the course of your travel, it is easy to lose track of time. When this happens, sometimes our eating and hydration schedule can fall by the wayside, and while it might be convenient to skip a meal in the interest of making good travel time, your immune function could suffer. Headaches, lethargy, and other signs of dehydration are not only unpleasant, but they can also put a damper on your holiday plans. If you plan on flying we recommend IV Hydration for dry airplanes, where very low humidity levels can contribute to dehydration. For an extra dose of goodness, ask for the Immunity Booster add-on, starring Vitamin C.
Pack Appropriately
Depending on your destination, the weather may be different from the climate that you are used to at home. Planning ahead and packing appropriate clothing is an easy way to make sure your body maintains a stable body temperature through your travels. If you're too hot, you could sweat excessively, which can lead to dehydration. Likewise, there is some evidence that suggests that being exposed to cold temperatures could suppress your immune system.

IV therapy works by using an intravenous (IV) fluid drip to deliver saline solution through a small catheter and tubing directly into the bloodstream. This saline solution may also include medications and vitamin supplements tailored to the individual patient.
During your therapy session, a medical professional will insert an IV line attached to a bag of saline solution. This bag is hung above the patient's head, using gravity to regulate the flow of fluids into the bloodstream. Compared to a syringe or other forced technique, gravity allows for a gradual introduction of fluids.
While the time frame of a single treatment varies from person to person, a session typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes. There are exceptions to this timeframe, such as with our NAD IV treatments, which generally take 1 to 2 hours per session.
IV drip therapy is highly effective in delivering nutrients, vitamins, and fluids directly to your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, this method bypasses the digestive system, allowing your body to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients without any loss during digestion. As a result, vitamins and nutrients are made immediately available to your cells, accelerating the benefits.
At Vida-Flo, we offer a variety of specialized IV blends designed to meet specific health goals. We also provide the option of custom-blended IV treatments to target your individual needs.
The duration of hydration therapy's benefits can vary depending on individual health factors and lifestyle choices. Some of our treatments, such as medications, provide immediate (but shorter-term) results. Our vitamin solutions are processed over a longer period, offering longer-lasting benefits.
Maintaining a regular schedule of treatments can help extend these benefits, supporting sustained hydration and improved health over time.
