fitness Too much water is also an issue

Did you know drinking too much water can also be an issue in your body? Water is regarded as one of the best drink to consume but can also have a negative effect when we consume too much. While this is a rare case, drinking too much water can lead to Hyponatremia which is also known as intoxication. This is when the liver can no longer remove the excess water

This is absolutely true! There are also less serious but well-known effects of over-hydrating when it comes to performance in competitive and physical sports. Water is absolutely of course essential for our long-term (and short-term!) health and we need to drink it on a daily basis, but we also need to consider our bodies' ability to deal with all these fluids too!

That's a crucial point that I have also known for quite a long time too! As important as it is to drink water, overdoing it can cause Hyponatremia. That brings to light what you said about the liver and how it function to eliminate water from the body.

There have been many cases where people have died to drinking excessive water. There comes a time when excessive water can do more harm than good. There is a limit when it comes to consuming certain foods. For example, consuming too much sugar can also cause problems. People should be mindful about this.

A very valid point! Indeed, taking high amounts of water can also cause what is known as water poisoning or hyponatremia, which is deadly. There should be a limit to the amount of water we take, especially during the day.

This means there should be moderation in whatever we do. Too much of a good thing is bad. One has to be on the look out for symptoms of overhydration such as colourless urine.
