Too Much Water?

Can Drinking Too Much Water Hurt You?

Folks will sometimes ask if it's possible for all of this water drinking to hurt them. The short answer is no. Of course, if you have some health challenges, you might want to discuss any new health routine with your physician or other health practitioner. But water is not -- except under the rarest of circumstances -- going to hurt you at all. In fact, that's one of the great things about this program. It's good for you, makes you feel good, benefits your health, well-being, and looks, and there are no side-effects. So, drink up!

Occasionally someone hears about someone who died from too much water. This is usually someone who is unconscious or intoxicated, and basically drowns. While it is theoretically possible to drink enough water to hurt or even kill you, this is extremely difficult to do. You would have to drink a huge amount of water -- something on the order of a gallon a minute for several minutes. Think about this, and you'll realize that it's difficult to do. Possible, but certainly something you'd have to work at. And the reality? Not something you have to worry about. The far greater danger for almost anyone is that of not having ENOUGH water in their system. That danger can occur especially during summer and other times when there's a danger of the core body temperature rising to dangerous levels. A consistent, intentional program of hydration works to prevent that.
