Could I be drinking TOO much WATER????

  • I really don't know if this is possible but I was just wondering if I could be drinking too much water I try to drink at least 3 litres each day is that too much? Just wonderin', Laura
  • I have heard that we should drink 35 ml of water to each kg we have... what do you think about it?
  • Too much water
    I've never heard of drinking too much water. Usually its Drink MORE water.

    Id keep drinking the water ..Its cleanses the system and keeps you full....Course all that running to the potty is exercise.

    Besides waters free, sometimes ,unless you have it bottled in and then its cheaper than McDonalds.
    I use tap water, little bugs and all.
    Also rumor is that water helps you lose weight...I dont know but giving up bread definately helps...



    Keep up the good work

  • Hi Laura,

    If I did my math correctly, 3 liters of water converts to the same as 12.5 eight ounce cups per day. [1 liter = 1000cc and 1 cup = 240cc] No, this amount is not too much water.

    Unfortunately, there are people that have died from drinking way too much...and we are talking gallons at a time. We had a teen in our state that took the illegal drug 'ecstacy' that passed away. The kidneys can't work properly when there is too much. The drug causes extreme thirst...but a 'normal' person does not have to worry about drinking too much.

    Oops, my nursing is coming out in me.. Soooo....keep drinking that wonderful water, it truly helps with the weight loss.

    TOPS hugs,
    Summer
