Everyone wants to start the New Year off on the right foot. Often times, considering making bold, yet drastic lifestyle changes for the better.

• But very few people consider the impact small, baby steps can have. One of those small baby steps is looking at your vitamin intake; specifically how balanced nutrition can help your body perform its best.

If you're like most people, you probably want to be more productive in 2016. We recommend keeping your health a top priority since it has a domino effect on your life in general. This is not just about losing weight or achieving rock-hard abs this upcoming summer.

Health is about improving how your body functions, so you can do the things you love, and ultimately, live a happier 2016 that's downright fulfilling.  In this article, we talk about how nutrient IV infusion therapy can help you get the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids your body needs to accomplish more in 2016. We highlight six specific health benefits of nutrient IV therapy that put you in a healthy and prosperous position this New Year. 

First Off, Vitamin IV Infusions Help You Get More Energy to be Productive in 2016 

Ensuring that your body has an adequate level of nutrition is key for a happy and productive 2016. No matter how well you eat or how much exercise you get, we need lots of energy to get things done.  And things like sugar, stress, medicine, and lack of sleep rob us of our energy levels just like we explain in this article. 

Not only do we need energy to complete our daily chores, we need energy to maintain stamina and motivation to exercise our bodies, recover, and heal in times of sickness or intense physical activity.

When it comes to recovery, for example, the faster you hydrate after an intense workout, the better. That's because muscle recovery delays if you’re dehydrated. What's shocking is that somehow not many people know that. This explains why you see muscle jocks walking around the gym with a gallon of water buff and ready for more. It's clear the body needs water to bounce back and build muscle.  

However, replenishing your body's fluids after intense physical activity can be tricky. During hard workouts or races, blood flow to the stomach is redirected to the muscles. This reduction in blood flow to the stomach results in a decrease in the ability to digest and absorb nutrients. That explains why runners sometimes throw up after chugging a sports drink right after a race.

And if the drink does manage to stay down, only 50 to 60 percent of its vitamins and minerals are absorbed by the cells, nerves, and muscles that need them, according to Benjamin Wilks, M.D., an emergency medical physician.

With nutrient IV therapy, you can achieve the hydration your body needs whether it's before or after a workout. Because no matter how consistent you are, taking vitamins orally and working out doesn't guarantee optimal fitness. The Performance Hydration IV drip, for example, works like a charm, sending high-impact nutrients to the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely. Immediate benefits of this nutrient IV drip include:

• Combating fatigue and stay motivated to train for longer hours. 
• Strengthening muscles before and after intense physical activity, so you can go further and faster. 
• Increasing stamina and energy to perform your best in any physical activity.
• Becoming mentally alert and focused to meet your fitness or athletic goals.

Secondly, Nutrient IV Therapy Can Help You Age Beautifully

Your skin is your body’s largest organ. There are about 19 million skin cells in every inch of your body. Your body gets rid of 30,000 to 40,000 old skin cells every day. The skin you see now ill be gone in about a month. It will literally be a “new you.”

Keep in mind that your skin is comprised of essentially three layers-the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous fat, and each plays a vital role on healthy skin. How you nourish your skin in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond determines how you'll look and feel in the next decades of your life. But statistics show most people don't nourish their bodies correctly, impacting their outward appearance greatly.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 43% of American adults don't drink enough water a day. 36% of them only drink 1 to 3 cups, while 7% don't drink any at all. Malnutrition and dehydration affect how your skin looks tremendously. Nutrient IV Therapy helps compensate for that.

The Fountain of Youth drip formula, promotes healthy heart, brain, skin, hair and nails so you can be the most radiant version of yourself at any age. Some of the immediate benefits of this drip include:

• Delivering high levels of Biotin into your body, so your cells are equipped to promote noticeably healthy, stronger-looking hair.
• Replenishing your body with nutrients that improve your skin's overall appearance, while producing healthy nails. 
• Eliminating toxins from your system, so you can reduce the dramatic effects aging can have on your face and body. 
• Reducing your stress levels by hydrating your body completely, while receiving B-complex vitamins to improve brain function.

Thirdly, Nutrient IV Therapy Makes You Mentally Alert

Simply do a Google search on “improve mental alertness” and you will be inundated with articles, info-graphics and how-tos promising you mental readiness. All the ones time rendered me to read mentioned an aspect of nutrients and proper nutrition. Some included natural remedies and others went as far as giving you product recommendations.

While each of those tactics may have merit and validity, let’s face it, the faster and more efficient, the better. Nutrient IV Therapy is just that.

Nutrient IV Therapy improves your energy levels and overall mood well after clocking out from work, so you can enjoy the best life has to offer. Stress is a silent killer. Initially it causes poor decision-making, sharp declines in performance, limited creativity, mood swings and even conflict with those around you.

The Executive drip treatment fights stress caused by heavy workloads and long business days. It also helps you recover from jet lag, while enhancing sharp memory and focus. Some of the immediate effects on the body are:

• Sharpen memory and focus by fueling brain and nervous system with high-impact vitamins and minerals. 
• Immediate sense of clarity, so you can properly assess complex situations and work effectively under intense pressure. 
• Improve your overall mood, so you can be more productive during your workday.

It isn't normal to always feel mentally drained and exhausted after work. Our bodies are designed to sustain intense physical and mental activity if we replenish it properly. You can do it with Nutrient IV Therapy and ensure you’re more alert, make better decisions, and are more alert after hours.

Fourthly, Vitamin Drips Help You Fight Sickness 

Don't start worrying about your health when early signs of aging or sickness occur. Start doing something now while you have the upper hand. This way you can avoid expensive doctor visits and exams while living a longer, more fulfilling life.

Most people don't realize the impact excellent nutrition can have on our overall mood and productivity.

Nutrient IV drips help you avoid getting sick, while motivating you to travel more, participate in sports, or even pick up a new hobby like yoga or Zumba. The Natural Defense drip-consisting of a high dose of vitamin C and Zinc, if you’re feeling under the weather or are already sick with the common cold or flu, will boost the immune system so you can bounce back quicker. Immediate benefit this drip include:

• Maintain a healthy nervous system and improve the cardiovascular function of your body. 
• Feel energized and in control by giving your immune system high-impact nutrients that keep you resilient. 
• Improve your body’s ability to withstand stress, intense levels of work or travel.
• Obtain powerful antioxidants to fight against airborne illnesses floating around work or home.

The use of IV nutrient therapy year round works as a preventive measure to strengthen the immune system and alleviate adverse symptoms alike.

Up Next, Vitamin Infusions & Energy Booster Shots Give Your Healthy Ammunition

We all need a little pick-me-up from time to time and nutrient IV therapy is the fastest way of getting body what it needs. Liquivida’s Rise and Shine drip helps you recharge your body after staying out way too late under the stars. Not only does it keep your body hydrated, it also amps up your energy levels so the immune system can continue fighting against germs or viruses that can cause you harm.

The most powerful ingredient in this drip is Taurine. This amino acid helps promote cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity, electrolyte balance, hearing function, and immune modulation. Pairing Taurine with powerful electrolytes and Magnesium Chloride detoxifies your cells, while giving you the willpower to get back up and running as normal. Here are some of the benefits of this IV vitamin drip:

• Get the energy you need to bounce back, be productive and get things done.
• Stop felling groggy and unmotivated by empowering your cells with Taurine and powerful electrolytes.
• Hydrate your brain and other organs, so you can function completely without putting more strain on your body.

And Finally, Nutrient IV Therapy Revitalizes & Repairs Cells Over Time 

The single most important antioxidant in your body is glutathione, and you probably had no idea. Glutathione (pronounced "gloota-thigh-own") protects cells from disease, while making your skin look brighter and more beautiful.

Unfortunately though, things like a poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections, and radiation all deplete the body's glutathione levels. This leaves us susceptible to cell disintegration from oxidative stress and free radicals, exposing our bodies to infections and cancers.

Our ability to produce and maintain a high level of glutathione in our bodies is critical to recovering from chronic illnesses.

In a recent blog article, we summarized the benefits of this powerful antioxidant and revealed ways to best absorb glutathione in the body. The article shows that the best way absorb glutathione is intravenously. Vitamins such as Vitamin B, B6, B12, folic acid, and Vitamin C are vital for the body’s ability to produce glutathione.

Nutrient IV therapy provides a fast and effective way to absorb these nutrients in your body. The Glutathione drip has many benefits, but for now, here are a few:

• Detoxifies the liver and cells, so you're protected against diseases
• Encourages cell revitalization and regeneration
• Improves skin complexion over a series of glutathione drips by minimizing melatonin

While a healthy diet and lifestyle can help minimize your body’s health decline, supplementing these with regular nutrient IV treatments can help stimulate the body to continuously perform at an optimal level, maintain health, and slow down the aging process. So when setting down your "New Year, New You" goals, consider how much further you can go and how much more you can accomplish by incorporating a nutrient IV treatment regimen to your healthy lifestyle.
