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.

Steps to take to be a good and outstanding model

They say if you ´walk the walk´ then you have to ´talk the talk.’ In modelling, it is the other way around. Walking the runway puts models on the spot. Pure and simple. While you may only be as good as your last ´turn´, choreography routines can help to give confidence and direction to new ´up and coming models´, or established models looking to ´perfect´ their craft for high end campaigns or events.

Modelling is as old as art (when it started on the Spanish Steps in Rome in the 17th Century) but in the advertising driven culture of the West, modelling has recently made a place for itself as a fresh, high profile and highly lucrative career. In simple terms, models wear the fashion and accessories of designers for runway and catwalk shows (and in print campaigns), but in a culture where big names mean big money, some models become brands of their own. Realistically, no one has any real interest in your opinion, personality or dialogue (unless your Jon Kortajarena, Andreas Velencosco or Tyson Beckford.)
These, coined ´supermodels´, not only strut and pose along the catwalk in new fashion, but become icons themselves; earning fame and renown as the models every designer wants to hang their clothes upon. As Gianni Versace on famously said;
Wear the clothes, hang the clothes, feel the clothes, sell the clothes and be the clothes.” – Gianni Versace

First Steps to Being a Runway Model

So, what are the first steps to being a runway model? Well, there are many steps and manoeuvres, literally. Complete an honest self-assessment to ensure you have the physical qualities necessary for a male runway model. Most runway models are at between 5’11” and 6’2″ and weigh between 140 and 165 lbs. Your physique should be lean, yet strong (never muscular, because that can affect the models performance on the shows and their fit to the clothing. This is the body type that designers look to display their clothing. However, as trends change, your body will have to depending on the designer and his philosophy.
