did you know that water is poison as well.that is if you drink too much of water you can get "water toxicity".
although most of our body is composed of water we can literally sufer from water poisoning if we drink too much of it!

I think this only happens if you drink gallons of water while you are exercising or doing something such as running long distances. Drinking so much that it dilutes the sodium in your body.

actually it is not gallons .thats what i thought in the beggining but that amt is actually lesser.like every day we are required to drink 8 glasses a day.but say that u drink up 60 glasses or even 120 glassses.now that will take some of the essential sodium out of ur body.
either way there have been cases where people just drank lots of water.thanks for ur nice comment!
