Drinking Too Much Water? | The Dangers of Overhydration and Water Intoxication |

We all know that water makes up about 60% of our body weight and is crucial for almost every function in our body from keeping our cells hydrated to regulating temperature and ensuring our organs work smoothly however just like with anything else too much of a good thing can become a problem and water is no exception but before we get into that let's first explore how water moves through your body when you drink water it starts a pretty quick journey through your digestive system it goes from your stomach to your small intestine where most of it gets absorbed into your bloodstream once it's in your bloodstream the water heads to your kidneys kidneys act like the body's filtration system getting rid of extra fluids and waste they produce urine which carries the extra water to your bladder and from there it eventually leaves your body this whole process is not just about getting rid of waste it's also crucial for keeping the right balance of fluids in and around your cells but here's the catch your kidneys can only process about 800 to 1,000 mL of water per hour so if you drink more than that in a short time your body can't keep up in that case it either tries to get rid of the excess water or if it can't you risk developing a dangerous condition called water intoxication and hyponatremia and what is that well when you drink water faster than your kidneys can process the extra water stays in your bloodstream and eventually ends up around your cells normally your cells are surrounded by a balanced solution of sodium and water which Flows In and Out through tiny openings in the cell membrane keeping everything in Balance but but too much water disrupts this delicate balance as the sodium solution in your blood becomes too diluted in other words it's not salty enough so to fix this your body tries to move the extra water into your cells causing them to swell like a balloon now most of your cells can handle a little swelling because soft tissues like fat and muscle are flexible but your brain cells are a different story they are trapped inside your skull which is hard and doesn't have any room to expand so as your brain cells swell pressure builds up inside your head at first you might get a headache feel confused or start getting drowsy but as the pressure keeps rising in rare cases things can get serious fast you could experience brain damage slip into a coma or even face life threatening consequences all in less than 10 hours so to stay safe and avoid water intoxication drink water throughout the day rather than all at once your body will tell you when it needs more fluids by making you feel thirsty so listen to that SI signal and drink up when you're thirsty trivia time did you know that unlike Foods water can be digested in as little as 5 minutes on the other hand simple liquids like tea and Juice take about 30 minutes to digest.

Thank you.....
