While many of us believe that it's important to drink eight glasses of water a day, too much of the good stuff can actually be deadly. Izzie Knolles finds out why.
We are always being told to drink water. In fact, magazines are saturated with advice on getting your eight glasses a day or your two litres. And for good reason, as it alleviates tiredness, aids concentration, clears the skin, flushes out the toxins, helps you to lose weight and, of course, prevents dehydration.
There are a myriad of detox diets that advocate drinking water to fill you up and even drinking when you don’t feel thirsty. However, what isn't well known is that you can drink too much and people do actually die from water intoxication - otherwise known as hyponatraemia.
