Beware from dying of hyponatremia ( water intoxication) in the summer-read this frreinds You need sodium and potassium as well and TOO much plain water in the hot weather can kill You,so drink orange juice for potassium and put salt on Your food in hot weather try drinking 8 glasses of water 12 might be too much if Your salt intake is inadequate. If you feel light headed or weak eat fruit for potassium and salt for sodium.

Exercise-associated hyponatremia
Almond et al.[1] found hyponatremia in as many as 13% of runners in a recent Boston Marathon, with life-threatening hyponatremia (serum Na below 120 mmol/L) in 0.6%. The runners at greatest risk of serious water intoxication had moderate weight gain during the race due to excessive water consumption.
Exercise associated hyponatremia (EAH) is predominantly the occurrence of dilutional hyponatremia during or up to 24 hours after prolonged physical activity, caused by an increase in total body water relative to the amount of total body exchangeable sodium. This means consumption of fluids in excess of total body fluid losses and/or impaired renal water clearance: maximal urinary excretory rate is about 1 L/h in normal adults under resting conditions.
Inappropriate secretion of the hormone arginine vasopressin/antidiuretic hormone (AVP/ADH), is also a contributory factor to the development of EAH. This excess hormone secretion prevents the kidneys from excreting the excess water in the urine. The primary means of avoiding EAH is to avoid excess fluid retention (weight gain during or after exercise). This can be accomplished by drinking only according to thirst and monitoring body weight before and during exercise - it is best to lose around two percent of body weight and never gain weight during exercise.
Ingestion of electrolyte-containing sports drinks cannot prevent the development of EAH in athletes who drink to excess.[2][3]
Notable cases
Craig Barrett, a New Zealand athlete, collapsed during a 50 km walk, probably due to water intoxication.
Matthew Carrington, a student at California State University in Chico, California, died of hyponatremia in February 2005 during a fraternity hazing ritual.[8]
James McBride, a police officer with the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, died of hyponatremia on August 10, 2005. Officer McBride had been participating in a strenuous bicycle patrol training course. During a 12-mile (19 km) training ride on the second day of the course, Officer McBride drank as much as three gallons (11 liters) of water.[9]
Leah Betts[10] died on the 16th of November 1995 after taking an ecstasy tablet at her 18th birthday party and subsequently drinking too much water; the case received mass media coverage throughout the United Kingdom, which focused on the dangers of ecstasy.
Cynthia Lucero, who collapsed between miles 19 and 20 of the Boston Marathon in 2002 was the second person ever to die in the history of the race.
In January 2007 Jennifer Strange, a woman in Sacramento, California, died following a water-drinking contest sponsored by a local radio station, Sacramento-based KDND-FM.[11] The contest was called ';Hold your wee for a Wii';.
After completing the 2007 London Marathon, 22-year-old David Rogers collapsed and later died as a result of hyponatremia.[12]
Professional Wrestler Michelle McCool was hospitalized for 16 days in 2006 because of hyponatremia.[citation needed]
Hypervolemic hyponatremia. In hypervolemic hyponatremia, excess water 鈥?commonly the result of kidney failure, heart failure or liver failure 鈥?dilutes the sodium concentration, causing low sodium levels.
Euvolemic hyponatremia. Normal water levels combined with low sodium levels (commonly due to chronic health conditions, cancer or certain medications) can lead to euvolemic hyponatremia.
Hypovolemic hyponatremia. In hypovolemic hyponatremia, your water and sodium levels are both low. This may occur, for example, when exercising in the heat without replenishing your fluids or with marked blood loss.
Hyponatremia causes may include:
Consuming excessive water during exercise. Because you lose sodium through sweat, drinking too much water during endurance activities, such as marathons and triathlons, can dilute the sodium content of your blood.If i drink 10-12 glasses of water aday,would it wash away the vitamins from my body?
Yes. Too much water will wash away minerals and vitamins from your body. It washes away such soluble vitamins such as Vitamin b and c. Now the average cups of water a person drinks depends on the person obviously (such as weight and height, etc.) For me, 10-12 glasses is normal for me because i'm 6'3 and about 250. So my body obviously needs more water to maintain my whole body. But the common male at 5'11 at about 180-200 will only need about 8 glasses.
If you need more info just email me.
Well, yes and no.
No, 10-12 glasses won't wash your vitimins away.
Yes, drinking way too much water will wash your vitimins away.
So basically, 10-12 should be fine, (as long as you're average size) but I wouldn't drink any more than that.
No it gets absorbed into the body
well聽the聽toxins聽are聽removed聽
not聽the聽vitamin
cheers
=]
No.
no but the toxins in your are removed
Lol. no
of course not!
