omg lol!! your only supposed to drink like 8 glasses of water a day. Also i was even told by the doctors not to drink too much water because it messes up the electrolytes in your head. I dont actually know how much you would have to drink to find this out but i wouldnt test it. I think powerade and gatorade puts electrolytes back in. You asked so i told lol. We didnt say how much water could hurt you, all you asked was can too much hurt you. And the answer is YES IT CAN lol! if you want to follow the info givin here then thats your choice lol!! |
I think mostly it is if you drink to much water in a short time. Be careful, I had a friend who ended up in the ER with a severe headache cause by drinking to much. |
On most diets they suggest 8 glasses a day of water ( 8oz glasses) I drink th8 of the bottles though on my special k diet, they r convenienient! |
read the rules .... Quote:
drinking 8 oz of water each hour for 8 hours is recommended by most doctors. http://chemistry.about.com/b/a/257677.htm Woman Dies from Drinking too Much Water CNN reported on a woman who died Friday from drinking too much water. Jennifer Strange (28) was participating in a radio station's "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest to see who could drink the most water before having to go to the bathroom. The condition that results from over-hydrating, hyponatremia, sometimes is seen in infants who are given bottles of water to drink (not a good plan) and also in some athletes who drink as much water as they can before exercising (e.g., marathon runners). It's important to stay hydrated, but how do you know if you're overdoing it? One of the first signs of water intoxication is swelling. If your fingers start to get puffy where your rings become tight, that could indicate a problem. Other symptoms of hyponatremia are nausea and dizziness. If you experience these symptoms and suspect water intoxication, stop drinking more water (that part should be obvious) and seek medical attention. Eat some food to replace the electrolytes (salts) that are being diluted by the water. |
Even if you go to the bathroom it is still dangerous to drink large amounts in a short period. It causes loss of electrolytes. Water intoxication is a condition where the body’s level of sodium has been rapidly diluted with too much water. It is also known as hyponatremia or hyperhydration. Sodium is an important electrolyte that helps regulates the body’s fluids. When the body’s sodium level is changed rapidly by drinking a lot of water, the extra water then causes the cells in the body to swell and malfunction. |
Mandee maybe this is what was causing those headaches you were/are having??? I wish I could drink more water.. Be careful girl.. |
