I never know that taking more water can cause problem...a friend send me this but its a very old news....posted on THE NEW PAPER on 22 Nov 2007...wow...
In the paper its states that a 26 year old lady drinks 7 litres of water a day to "detoxify and reduce her blood pressure.
But she fainted after continuing the habbit for 3 months and doctors said that her condition is known as "chronic water intoxication"
The amount of water was 3 times more then the recomended daily intake.
I also thought that the more water you drink the better it is for your body! But accoring the the news report, too much water consume causes hyponatremia, a condition where there is insufficient sodium in the blood.
As a result of the extra intake of water, it has caused the lady who is not named to have swelled brain cells and in turn leading to increase of pressure in her brain.
It is said by Dr Jiang "The sodium in our blood maintains our cell metabolism rate. But once you drink too much water, the sodium ions will decrease, causing the brain cells to swell"
Drinking water is good, but we must remember too much of something is always no good....
Here's a list of timings that a friend of mine mailed to me:
Correct timing to drink water, will maximize its effectiveness on the Human body.
Two (02) glass of water - After waking up - Helps activate internal organs
One (01) glasses of water - 30 minutes before meal - Help digestion
One (01) glass of water - Before taking a bath - Helps lower blood pressure
One (01) glass of water - Before sleep - To avoid stroke or heart attack
