Drinking too much Water can kill you
Study
says “8 Glasses A Day ” Mantra A Myth. One should Drink By Thirst
Melbourne : Driking too much water may cause potentially fatal water
intoxication. Claims a new study which has for the first time identified the mechanism
that regulates fluid intake in the human body and stops us from over drinking.
The study led by researchers
from Monash University in Australia. Challenges the popular idea that we should
drink eight glasses of water a day for good health.
It showed that a ‘swallowing inhibition ‘ is activated by the
brain after excess liquid is consumed helping maintain tightly calibrated
volumes o water in the body.
“ If we just do what our body demands us to we
will probably get it right ~ just drink according to drinking too much water puts
the body in danger of water intoxication of hyponatremia. When vital levels of
sodium in the blood become abnormally low. Potentially causing symptoms ranging
from lethargy and nausea to convulsions and coma thirst rather than an
elaborate schedule “ said Michael Farrell. Associate professor at Monash.
