SIX SIGNS YOU ARE DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER

A lot of people don’t get the requires amount of fluids for their body daily and this makes it strange to hear that some people actually drink too much water.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO DRINK TOO MUCH WATER?

Dietitians and health practitioners constantly remind us that drinking enough water is absolutely vital in order for our bodies to function properly. And it is—unless you drink too much of it.

While most people look out for the signs of dehydration, overhydration is equally as dangerous. Drinking too much  can result in water intoxication, also known as hyponatremia, causing the inside of cells to flood due to abnormally low sodium levels in your bloodstream.

In severe cases, water intoxication can lead to debilitating health problems such as seizures, coma, and even death. Here is how you can know that you are drinking too much.

1.  YOU ALWAYS HAVE A WATER BOTTLE IN YOUR HAND

If you carry around your bottle all day and immediately refill it when it depletes, you may be drinking too much water.

Constant drinking can result in low sodium levels in your blood, which can cause all of the cells in your body to swell. This can become particularly dangerous when your brain starts to swell. The human brain can only swell about 8 to 10 percent before it reaches the skull and it pushes the brain stem out.
