Is drinking a lot of water good for you? Let’s talk about it.

I’m not against drinking water. I drink about two and a half liters of water every day.

However, water doesn’t actually hydrate you—it may even dehydrate you. There is even such a thing as water intoxication, also known as water poisoning or overhydration.

Specific proteins allow water to go into your cells with the help of electrolytes. When you drink excessive amounts of water without electrolytes, you dilute the body’s electrolytes—mainly sodium. Hyponatremia is a condition where a person has low sodium levels in the blood.

Symptoms of hyponatremia can include:
• Muscle weakness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Confusion
• Irritability
• Cramping
• Brain swelling
• EAH

Common causes of hyponatremia:
• Exercising
• Addison’s disease
• Drinking alcohol
• A hypothyroid condition
• Diuretics
• SSRIs
• Diabetes
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Excessive sweating
• Certain medications

Infants are also susceptible to hyponatremia.

There have actually been deaths caused by people drinking about six liters of water within a threehour period.

On the flip side, if you’re susceptible to kidney stones, you should drink at least two and a half liters of fluid a day.

I think two to two and a half liters of fluid a day is reasonable. If you’re exercising, it’s important to make sure you don’t drink too much water without electrolytes, causing hyponatremia.

If you use an electrolyte powder in your water when exercising, make sure it’s a sports version with plenty of sodium or take sodium with it.
