Why People die by drinking too much "Water"? Thanks.?!


Question: Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by water.[1] Normal, healthy (both physically and nutritionally) individuals have little to worry about accidentally consuming too much water. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume more than ten litres over the course of just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed.

"Water intoxication," sort of a perpetual drowning.

electrolyte imbalance...not allowing the nutrients to do their job. It is similiar to alcohol intoxication.. overall resulting in the brain to swell..coma..death..

this happens only if a person has some kind of desease secondly excess of everything is harmfull even if it is water

People Drink Too Much of water because of detoxification
We clean our body by bathing every day
And never think to Clean from insite
We eat many things during day or any time
So lots of drinking water can help cleaning from inside and help to stay away from diseases
