What Would You Think if I said that You could Overdose on Water?Written by Alfred Jones
You would probably think that I was writing a lot of old rubbish, but please stay with me, as I can assure you that it is very possible and there are many cases reported worldwide to back up my statement.A number of medical experts recommend that everyone should drink eight glasses of water per day, which is about two litres. This old chestnut has been pulled out of fire, so many times over years, that no one really knows where recommendation came from in first place, or what benefits to your health would be, if you followed this regime. A survey that was sponsored by large companies that sell bottled water, state that everyone should consume between one and a half, to two litres per day, of Natural Mineral Water, of course, makes you think, when they paid for survey. There is a lot of confusion about how much water should be taken daily, and when you look around, you will see numerous people carrying their water bottles of natural mineral water everywhere, probably more ladies than men. Excessive consumption of water can lead to a condition known as, Hyponatremia, which means “water intoxication”. People are encouraged to drink water for detoxing purposes, and yes, it does that very well, it can flush most of toxins out of your body, this is one of things that it is meant for, but, when you overdo it, minerals and sodium levels in blood can become too low, because they are also being flushed out of your system, this can lead to complications, coma and even death. This situation has often been seen in Athletes, especially runners when they collapse on track, this is frequently caused by a low level of sodium in athletes’ blood, and there are instances where it has had serious consequences. A young man of 23 years of age was rushed to hospital, after going in to a coma, he was diagnosed with Hyponatremia, his sodium levels was dangerously low, and his brain was starting to swell, of course there is not much room available for brain to swell, because it is surrounded by hard skull, this causes brain to be compressed and it does not like this one little bit. Drinking too much water can flush out essential nutrients and minerals and if you are drinking mineral water to excess, it can lead to high levels of calcium, magnesium or other minerals that is in water. Some of these minerals are needed, but not in excess quantities.
