00:00 Many were shocked by a 35-year-old woman from America

00:07 who drank 2 liters of water in less than 30 minutes

00:14 and died.

00:17 I was shocked. Drinking water is so simple and yet she died.

00:22 It's just water. Why did she die?

00:24 Water is good for the body. It's good for many. So you should drink 8 glasses a day.

00:30 According to a post by Kapatid, the woman was in a lake in Indiana for a whole weekend

00:37 when she felt a severe dehydration.

00:40 The woman said she quickly drank 2 liters of water in less than 20 minutes.

00:48 Water intake is important because we need it to hydrate our cells and body.

00:54 Especially when the weather is hot, we need water.

00:58 We can still be productive when we are hydrated and produce energy.

01:04 According to the National Academy of Medicine in America,

01:09 men over 19 years old are recommended to drink 3 liters of water daily.

01:15 While women over 19 years old are recommended to drink 2 liters of water daily.

01:22 But according to the woman, she was possibly intoxicated by water.

01:29 Water intoxication is like the reduction of sodium in a person's body.

01:34 A person's body has sodium, or let's say salt, in our body.

01:40 There is salt and water. Once you mix them, the salt will dissolve.

01:46 And then of course, the water will be diluted.

01:49 That's why we need these salts to hold water in our body.

01:55 Because of the speed and amount of water he drank, his body was suddenly...

02:01 For 1 hour, we just need to filter our kidneys with 1 liter of water.

02:06 Once a lot of water enters our body, in a small time frame,

02:14 the sodium in our body can disappear and decrease.

02:18 Because the more sodium in our body, the salt in our body will be diluted.

02:24 And of course, our organs will be damaged.

02:27 Hyponatremia, which is called the abnormal reduction of sodium in our body,

02:32 is caused by the excess water or fluid in our body.

02:36 Because of the electrolyte imbalance, the body can no longer control the excess water.

02:41 This is what comes out of our tissues, which is the reason why other organs are damaged,

02:46 especially the brain.

02:48 It is also necessary to consider the condition of a person's kidneys.

02:51 Once there is a problem in our kidneys or in our other organs,

02:57 we can use a stone, or a stone to stone, because it can also prevent filtration.

03:04 And of course, there will be a problem with urination.

03:07 That's why the advice of an expert is to always feel our body,

03:13 especially if we drank a lot of water in one sitting.

03:17 If you drink a lot of water, you will observe yourself as if you are dizzy,

03:22 have a headache, sometimes your blood pressure rises, and then of course, there is a blurring of vision.

03:27 And there is a weakening.

03:29 Then eventually, once you are used to being weak, you may become drowsy,

03:33 and then of course, you can fall.

03:35 It will help if we have an exact measurement of the water we drink in one day.

03:40 The expert's priority is that the water a person drinks should not exceed 1 liter per hour.

03:50 And if dehydrated, people can drink drinks that have extra electrolytes instead of water.

03:56 Because the minerals in it balance the fluid in our body.

04:01 Remember, dear friends,

04:04 it is good to have water flowing in our body.

04:08 But just like other things, any excess has a negative impact.
