I just spoken to my friend who is a nurse and said that drinking too much water can be really bad for you! I always thought it was good!
So ive researched it on the internet and found out that drinking too much water can cause water intoxication/ over hyrdration, and something to do with the sodium in you body not being replaced quickly enough.
Basically drinking too much water can eventually cause your brain to swell, stopping it regulating vital functions such as breathing, and causing death
But does anyone know how much water is too much??? Im glugging the water and have 5+ litres daily, and down a litre at a time, and now im slighty worried! I know it must be alot of water needed to comsume to cause problems! But still, i cant believe how i didnt know this!
