Drinking too much water can lead to cerebral edema. Scientists of the famous University of Canada - McGill are convinced of this..

They found that excess water lowers sodium levels to dangerous levels, which leads to swelling, writes The Hindustan Times..

Not so long ago, researchers did not yet know the causes of the development of hyponatremia - the primary violation of the water balance, the consequences of excess water in relation to the sodium content in the blood.. However, now they have realized that it is difficult for the body to “recognize” an excess of water, it is easier for it to understand that it is not enough, as the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka reports..

It is worth noting that glial cells recognize hyperhydration faster than others.. Next, they are sent an “order” to “turn off” neurons that are sensitive to hydration.. Taurine is also released, which suppresses the active work of nerve cells..
