"Water is the source of life." Drinking water is good for your health. It is said that you can skip meals for three days, but you cannot drink water for three days.
In this case, some people have put forward the concept of drinking 8 glasses of water a day, and they think they can drink 8 glasses of water a day. But is it true that the more water you drink, the better?
When we hear that we need to drink 8 glasses of water a day, we may think that water can cure all diseases. Drinking more is always correct, so I listened to this sentence and insisted on drinking 8 glasses a day. The amount of water is even more.
Let’s take a look at each person’s water cup capacity. Many people's water cups can reach 500ML. If you drink 8 glasses of water a day, the total amount of water you can drink per day can reach 4000ML. In this case, it will have an adverse effect on the body, causing water poisoning .
⏩ What is water poisoning?
Simply put, the total amount of water in the human body greatly exceeds the amount of water discharged.As a result, water stays in the body, causing the plasma osmotic pressure to decrease and the circulating blood volume to increase, which is called water intoxication.
Under normal conditions, healthy kidneys can excrete 800-1000 ml of water per hour (in urine). It means there is no pressure."
But if you suddenly drink a huge amount of water within a short period of time, the kidneys can’t excrete it in time, and the excess water will enter the cells in large quantities, resulting in hyponatremia .
So even if you are very thirsty, do not drink a lot of water, as this will bring a lot of burden to your body.
In addition, drinking too much water can disrupt the body's electrolyte balance and affect the body's metabolic function. , There may be heart failure. When drinking too much water before going to bed at night, edema, edema, etc. will also occur. I also get up frequently to go to the bathroom at night, which will affect people's health.

Normally,Drinking water can reach about 1700ML per day. The usual water cup capacity is 200ML-300ML, which is 6-8 cups. This is also said to be 8 glasses of water a day.
Actually, besides drinking water, we have many ways to add water every day. For example, the porridge you drink, the fruits and vegetables you eat will add a certain amount of water. It is not necessary to strictly follow the drinking method of 8 glasses of water a day.
The amount of water you drink is not fixed, depending on the actual situation. If you exercise vigorously, your body consumes a lot of water at this time, and you naturally need to replenish it.
In conclusion, drinking the wrong water will not only harm your health, but also bring harm.
