Staying Hydrated Throughout the Day

- Headache: As fluids deplete, blood flow to the brain can be affected, leading to headaches.
- Dizziness: A drop in blood volume can cause dizziness, especially when standing up quickly.
- Reduced Concentration: Dehydration can impair cognitive function, making it harder to focus and think clearly.
Benefits of IV Hydration
