    People can't live without water, but drinking too much water can also cause poisoning. This view may be unfamiliar, but in fact, cases of water poisoning caused by large amounts of water drinking have been reported in the United States as early as the 30s. Later, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and other countries successively reported some cases of poisoning due to excessive drinking water.

    Water makes up about 65 to 70 percent of the body's body weight and is relatively stable in the body. The cell membrane of human cells is a semi-permeable membrane, water can penetrate freely, if you drink too much water, the blood and interstitial fluid will be replenished and balanced, the osmotic pressure will be reduced, and the water will penetrate into the cell, causing the cell to swell and cause water poisoning. Once the brain cells are edema, the pressure in the skull will increase, resulting in dizziness, headache, vomiting, fatigue, blurred vision, drowsiness, slowed breathing, deceleration of heart rhythm, and in severe cases, coma, convulsions and even life-threatening.

    In the case of water intoxication, there is too much water in the blood, the concentration of sodium chloride in the blood decreases, and a balanced low blood sodium appears, and the patient experiences generalized muscle pain and cramps.

    In addition to accidental drowning, water poisoning also occurs in daily life, but the degree is relatively minor and does not attract people's attention. Especially in the hot summer, when people sweat a lot, the body loses electrolytes such as sodium salts, and if you drink a lot of plain water without replenishing the salt, muscle twitches or muscle cramps will occur. Muscle pain in the arms, thighs, and calves is generally a manifestation of mild water intoxication.

    Therefore, in the hot summer months, it is best for people to put some salt or drink salty soda when drinking water. If you are not accustomed to drinking salty beverages, you should stir-fry the vegetables and eat them salty. In this way, water poisoning can be effectively prevented.

    A few months ago, at a competition in the United States, a woman drank a liter of water and died of water poisoning. Water poisoning is mainly caused by a decrease in the osmolality of the blood, which causes a large amount of water to enter the red blood cells, causing them to burst. As a result, hemolysis occurs, red blood cells are oxygen-loaded, and without it, people will soon die.

    Drinking up to three liters of water in one breath can cause poisoning.

    The World Health Organization's drinking water standard proposed in 2003 is that in a quiet state without any exercise at 25 degrees Celsius, each person is in a quiet state.

    The daily water intake is: 1 liter for children, 1 liter for adult men, liters for adult women, liters for pregnant women, and liters for lactating women.

    In the case of high temperatures or intense physical labor, the water intake standard for different groups should be raised to the highest level. Beyond this range, there is a risk of water poisoning, which can be caused by drinking up to three liters of water in one go.

    Water poisoning is caused by drinking too much water in a short period of time, but water poisoning is rare because it is usually difficult to consume too much water at once. But water poisoning can also happen, and people who most often affect people who attend sporting events, are training for endurance, or have a variety of mental health conditions. Water poisoning and how much water you drink at one time can cause water poisoning is explained below.

    Drinking too much water in a short period of time increases the amount of water in your blood, which dilutes electrolytes in your blood, especially sodium. Sodium helps maintain the balance of fluids inside and outside the cell. When sodium levels drop due to excessive water intake, body fluids can flow from outside the cells into the cells, causing the cells to swell.

    When this happens to brain cells, it can even be life-threatening. When the sodium content is less than 135 mmol per liter, it is called hyponatremia.

    When a person consumes too much water and the cells in the brain start to swell, the pressure inside the skull increases, which can lead to the first symptoms of water intoxication, including headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc. Severe water poisoning can produce more severe symptoms, such as muscle weakness, cramps, cramps, coma, seizures, difficulty breathing, brain damage, and even death.

    Several reports also provide insight into how much water can cause water poisoning at once and at what point: a healthy 22-year-old man who drank 6 litres of water in a 3-hour period, a 9-year-old girl who drank a liter of water within one to two hours, and reports of hyponatremia after drinking more than 5 litres of water within a few hours.

    It has also been reported that the kidneys can excrete about 20-28 liters of water per day, but not more than the maximum liter per hour, and if a person drinks 3 to 4 liters of water in a short period of time, symptoms of hyponatremia will occur. To avoid water intoxication and hyponatremia, it is important not to drink more water than the kidneys excrete, so it is best not to exceed the maximum amount of water per hour.

    The average person drinks about 1500ml-2500ml of water every day, and you can drink it if you feel thirsty, it is best to drink a small amount many times, do not drink cow drink, of course, if you exercise later, you may drink more at a time, but still don't drink too much water at a time, or keep drinking it in parts, about 500 ml each time. It is a drug (contrast agent) injected into the body to make the lesion or blood vessel more visible. In layman's terms, black things are not easy to spot when placed on black paper, and if black things are placed on white paper, they are easy to see.

    The contrast agent acts like a blank sheet of paper.

    The essence of water intoxication is caused by low potassium, low chloride, low sodium, and low osmotic pressure, and cells will swell and even die in a hypotonic environment. Cells can only survive in the right environment, and if the osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid is very low, excess water will penetrate into the cells, resulting in cell edema. The dilution and concentration of the kidneys are impaired, and excessive water intake can lead to water poisoning.

    In addition, if the renal blood flow is insufficient or the glomerular blood perfusion is severely reduced for any reason, excess water cannot be discharged, and in the case of hypotonic, water intoxication is prone to occur.

    The symptoms of "water poisoning" patients are blurred vision, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, weakness, rapid heartbeat, etc., which can lead to pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, spasms, coma and even life-threatening. Especially in summer, often sweat a lot, easy to be thirsty, if you suddenly ingest too much water, so that water is retained in the body, causing a decrease in plasma osmolality and an increase in circulating blood volume, water poisoning will occur, the dietary guidelines for Chinese residents recommend that adults 7-8 cups (1500-1700 ml) a day, advocate drinking plain water and tea, do not drink or drink less sugary drinks.

    In order for drinking water to enter the body, it needs a process of digestion and absorption. Therefore, when a person drinks a large amount of water in a short period of time, when the stomach exceeds the limit of what the stomach can hold, the person will vomit out the water in the stomach (this is very similar to the principle of gastric lavage). Too much water, the body does not have time to absorb it.

    Of course, I have heard about water poisoning, how much water to drink to cause poisoning, mainly related to the excretory function of the kidneys, patients with severe kidney failure will drink 2000 ml of water will produce water poisoning, generally 1000 ml of water per day.

    Of course I've heard of it. Moreover, drinking 1000 ml of water at one time will cause water poisoning, so people must drink water in small amounts and many times, and do not drink a lot of water at one time, which will not only harm their stomach, but also harm kidney function.

    1. If you drink a large amount of water in a short period of more than 5L, or drink a larger amount of water, it is easy to cause water poisoning. The main reason is that after labor and exercise, the human body has experienced extreme heat and suffering, and the body sweats, loses water, and also loses salt and respect. If you drink a lot of plain water without salt supplementation, you are prone to hyponatremia and then induce water poisoning.

    2 Water poisoning can cause damage to brain cells, dizziness, dizziness, drowsiness, lethargy and high-rise coma, in order to avoid water poisoning, you should try to drink light salt water after sweating profusely, especially after strenuous exercise or heavy sweating. Drink small amounts of water, not overdrinking and drinking enough at one time, and avoid drinking water with high and low temperatures.
