Who knew too much water could kill you??
We have been studying about our bodies and how we get cancer, how to take care of your body, and what is happening inside you. You probably have heard to drink lots of water all the time, to get as much as you can because its good for you. Well thats not true. We read an article and it told me about stories of when people drank too much water how it flooded their bodies and they died! One example was a woman who entered this contest to win a Nintindo Wii game set, it was called "Hold Your Wee for a Wii". She drank so much water and won the contest, then went home and died from being flooded. Drinking too much water is also not good for you kidneys because it will cause too much stress on them. When your kidneys aren't happy, you're not happy.
I am really glad we are studying this because I am a major athlete and I never truly cared about taking care of my body, but now that I am older and more serious, I am realizing what is good for me and what is bad. This is really helpful because now I know not to chug down water, or any beverage, or to not drink too much or too less.
Now you also know and are aware about the concerns of drinking too much water and hopefully you will be more cautious about that and take care of your body's fluids coming in and out.
