Is there a thing as too much water?!


Question:

Is there a thing as too much water?

i don't binge drink water or anything like that but i recently started drinking 2 or 3 times over the 8 glasses a day recommended amount for my health. I just want to know if i over do it, would it negatively affect my health at all?


Answers:

In theory yes you can drink to much water, you can get a condition called water intoxication or hyponatremia . This is where your sodium levels are all out of wack. Now I am not a doctor but the key is not how much you drink, but how fast you drink it. Based on the amount of water you drinking over the course of the time of the day I don't think you have anything to worry about.
