Drinking too much water can lead to hyponatremia‚ water intoxication‚ water poisoning and death Liquid H2O is the sine qua non of life. Making up about 66 percent of the human body‚ water runs through the blood‚ inhabits the cells‚ and lurks in the spaces between. At every moment water escapes the body through sweat‚ urination‚ defecation or exhaled breath‚ among other routes. Replacing these lost stores is essential but rehydration can be overdone. There is such a thing as a fatal water overdose

Being the most abundant and important compound to life‚ living organisms would not exist without water. Within the human body the majority of biological reactions require water to take place. Although it is possible for human survival without nutrients for up to several weeks‚ without water humans would die in a matter of days. In the human body‚ water makes up 60-70% of adult body weight. At cellular level water makes up between 70-95% of the mass of a cell. The amount of water in the human body

Harvard Medical School chief Nephrology). Hyponatremia is even more susceptible to happen to athletes. When we are under physical stress‚ to which athletes experience during games‚ our hypothalamus produces antidiuretic hormone secreted into our blood stream by our pituitary gland sending messages to our kidneys to hold the secretion of water. The conserved water plus the excessive amount we drink during that time will lead to exercise-associated hyponatremia or also known as EAH (Joseph Verbalis‚ Georgetown

definition depletion of total body water can only lead to hypernatremia so this term actually refers to coexistence of two separate disorders; hyponatremia and hypovolemia and again the term dehydration must be avoided. A classic example of hyponatremia coexisting with hypovotremia is Addison’s disease where cortisol deficiency leads to ADH excess and hyponatremia but mineralocorticoid deficiency simultaneously leads to sodium loss and hypovolemia. The latter subjects are not dehydrates‚ on the contrary

Is salt really that bad? Sodium is an essential electrolyte found in salt. Sodium is a mineral that carries out vital functions for the body some of which include maintaining fluid balance‚ regulating blood volumes‚ nerve transmissions and hydration. Sodium is important in ensuring healthy heart functions and muscle contractions. Some individuals have a higher need for sodium as it can be depleted through exercise (via sweat). If sodium levels are lower than recommended it needs to be replaced
