Chitchat Drinking Lots Of Plain Water

Since sugar and salt are supposed to be dissolved in water, will drinking water actually help us to dissolve more of these unhealthy salt and sugar before they enter the bloodstream?
I forgot to answer this specific question in my previous post.

I'm not a physician, but my common sense tells me that as long as you exercise regularly and frequently (i.e. at least every other day until you sweat, which is what I do, so that's at least three or four days) throughout the week every week, there's no need for you to worry about any water or salt (or sodium, to be more precise) problem, simply because your natural thirst (after sweating so much) will naturally motivate you to drink lots of water. The profuse sweating and urinating throughout the day would also excrete lots of sodium, so there's also no need to worry about consuming too much salt/sodium everyday; as for how much is "too much", simply monitor your blood pressure everyday using a:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphygmomanometer
and take note of, or at least estimate, how much sodium content you usually consume everyday; as long as your blood pressure is not high, then there's no need to worry.

It's sugar that is the much bigger problem, like a sweet (and, therefore, seductive) woman! ;)

Noted with thanks. ;)
 
The new paper has confirmed that you are right. :eek:

Can you drink too much water?

Short answer: Yes

It is very rare for someone to die from drinking too much water, but it can happen.

Overhydrating is most common among elite athletes. Drinking an excess of water, called water intoxication, dilutes the concentration of sodium in the blood leading to a condition known as hyponatremia.

The symptoms of hyponatremia can range from nausea and confusion to seizures and even death in severe cases.

To avoid this, drink fluids with electrolytes during extreme exercise events.
 
We should take everything we read in sinkie newspapers with a pinch of salt, and also some water, but not too much. :eek::D

But this report is not from the Straits Times... only the Straits Times reports the truth and nothing but the truth!
