Diseases that appear in the body when you drink too much water

It seems that many people have started carrying a water bottle with them everywhere they go and this is a good way to stay hydrated. Water helps transport the body's nutrients, create saliva, maintain body temperature, and much more.

However, excessive drinking (more than one liter per hour) can actually create health problems, writes "Bright Side". Here are the negative effects it can have:

Swelling of the feet and hands

When you drink a lot of water, it along with salty food can cause edema (a condition affecting the brain). This happens when the sodium levels in our body are too high and drinking water can cause swelling. The same can happen with the hands.

In later stages, edema can also cause a malfunction in the central nervous system.

You get muscle cramps

For our muscles and heartbeat to function normally we need electrolytes. Excess water reduces the number of electrolytes in our body. When these levels are low, we may experience muscle cramps.

Headache and drowsiness

One of the most common signs you can experience if you consume more water than you need is a headache. You may also feel confused and disoriented.

Some more serious symptoms can be double vision, difficulty breathing, increased blood pressure, and drowsiness.
