Al-Marsad newspaper: The director of the Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory at Invitro-Sibir, Dr. Andrei Pozdnyakov, indicated that the body needs water every day, but what will happen to the body if a person drinks too much water?
Excess fluid is more dangerous than lack of it
According to him, an excess of fluids in the body is more dangerous than a lack of it, because pure water is absorbed in the digestive system and reaches directly into the bloodstream, which leads to a dilution of the blood plasma density.
He says: “The concentration of minerals, primarily sodium, in the electrolyte plasma becomes lower than normal. But in the cells it is higher. According to the law of physical osmosis, a large amount of liquid is transferred to the cells, which causes them to swell and swell.”
He points out that this condition poses a great danger, especially to nerve cells, because it leads to edema and swelling of the brain, which leads to weakness, dizziness, low arterial pressure, coma, and may lead to death.
