What would happen if one would drink too much water per day?
Drinking too much water can lead to a condition called water intoxication, also known as hyponatremia. This occurs when the amount of salt in your body becomes too diluted. Symptoms of hyponatremia can include headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and even coma or death in severe cases. However, it is very rare for someone to drink enough water to cause hyponatremia. The body is generally able to regulate its fluid balance, and people are more likely to become dehydrated from not drinking enough water rather than from drinking too much. It is generally recommended to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day to maintain good hydration, but the actual amount of water that a person need can vary depending on factors such as their age, sex, weight, and activity level.
