How much water is too much to drink in a day?
on average i have about 7 bottles of water every day (not counting a diet pepsi i usually have at lunch)...is that overdoing it?
Answers:
You should drink at least your body weight in ounces (ex: 130lbs divided by 2= 65oz per day). Water is great for your body. I doubt you can over do it, the worst thing that could happen is you just pee it out.
I was reading that you should have 1 cup for every 10 pounds you weigh so I would think any thing more then that is too much.
I wouldn't drink more then the recommened 8 glasses. Where I live a woman was sent to prision for giving a boy too much water. They called it water poision and he died from it flooding his brain.
Edit: I'm sorry it was called water overdose not water poision
Nope this is not to much. You can never have enough water. It is really good for you. It keeps your skin nice and helps you lose weight. But their could be a problem if you are thirsty all the time. This is a sign of diabetes. Hope this helps!
nope. as long as you can pee. lol
If you are talking a regular sized bottle (20 ounce sized) that equals about 56 oz. and you are "supposed" to have 64. With the diet pepsi, you are doing fine with the liquid intake. If you are talking 7 full 34 oz water bottles, that is way too much.
I believe that should be fine. Your body has a way of balancing things out so if there is too much in your system - it will excrete the excess. I bet you must be in and out of the toilet quite often. Keep up the liquid intake - it is very healthy. I wish I could drink as much as you. I try all the time but it never lasts. As someone already mentioned - if it's due to thirst you may want to get yourself checked for diabetes as that is a sign.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER...
Drinking water is good, but if you drink too much water, you flush necessary salts out of your body that your body needs to stay hydrated. So...
Drink waters that have electrolytes. I absolutely love SMART Water by Glaceau. If you alternate drinking water, with drinking electrolyte enhanced water, you're COOL, homie!
