00:00Do you know the advantages and disadvantages of drinking water?
00:04Here's what you need to know.
00:07Advantages first.
00:09Drinking water boosts physical performance and helps with digestion.
00:14It flushes out toxins from your body and protects against heat stroke.
00:19It also improves brain function and helps you maintain a healthy weight.
00:25Now, drinking too much water can be dangerous.
00:27It can cause water intoxication, which is when your blood's sodium levels get to dust.
00:35This can cause headaches, confusion, seizures, and, in severe cases, coma.
00:42But remember, everyone's different.
00:45So listen to your body and drink when you're thirsty.
00:49Your urine color can also tell you if you're hydrated.
00:53If it's pale, you're probably well hydrated.
00:56If it's dark, you need to drink up.
01:01Drinking too much water can also make you run to the bathroom a lot, which can disrupt your sleep and daily activities.
01:09And lastly, it can cause an electrolyte imbalance because it flushes out essential minerals like potassium and sodium.
01:17So how much water should you drink?
01:20Well, the general rule of thumb is about 2.1 liters, or 8 cups, for women.
01:282.6 liters, or 10 cups, for men daily.
