Water is good for rehydration. There have been severe cases where the over-consumption of water had led to death. If we drink more water than your actual body requirements it leads to water intoxication.

Harmful effects of excessive water intake:

  • Decrease in sodium levels in the blood
  • Increased pressure on blood vessels and the heart
  • Damage to glomeruli
  • Swelling of cells
  • Brain oedema
  • Depletion of potassium levels in the blood
  • Stomach irritation
  • Liver problems
  • Frequent urination
