Drinking too much water
Drinking too much water
Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function. It occurs when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by drinking too much water.
Healthy (both physically and nutritionally) people 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, where people try to drink more than 10 litres in 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.
