What Happens When You Drink Too Much Water: Most of our body is made of water, which is why we feel thirsty throughout the day. This fluid helps in controlling the temperature of our body and removes the risk of dehydration. This is the reason why you are advised to drink water at regular intervals, although it should also be kept in mind that excessive consumption of water or any other liquid can harm health instead of benefiting it. That's why it is important to be alert.

What is the limit of drinking water?

Now this question must be coming to your mind if you drink less water then it will cause harm and if you drink more then also it will cause harm, so what to do? Regarding this, we talked to India's famous dietician Ayushi Yadav. He told that drinking water more than a limit can be dangerous.

Why do you feel thirsty?

Dietician Ayushi Yadav told that there is a thrust center in our brain, which indicates the decrease in the amount of water in the body. At such a time there is a secretion of peptide which gives a signal to the thrust center that now there is a need to drink water.

Drinking water when thirsty is normal for some people

But if you drink water without thirst, then this habit is called Psychogenic Polydipsia. It increases the fluid level in the body, which is not good for health.

What will be the result of drinking more water?

For people who drink a lot of water, the level of sodium starts decreasing in their body, in such a situation, the amount of water in the cells increases, which increases the swelling. This is called hyponatremia, it especially damages the brain.
