Dehydration is extremely dangerous for health and even for life, but excess water is no less dangerous, scientists from McGill University say..

Overhydration (excessive water content in the body) can cause hyponatremia - a dangerous decrease in sodium levels in the blood, which can cause swelling of the brain, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35.. net Until recently, scientists did not know what causes hyponatremia. Now, researchers have found that overhydration is harder for the body to recognize than dehydration.. As you know, there are neurons in the brain responsible for maintaining water balance.

. Excess water activates Trpv4, a calcium channel in the glial cells surrounding these neurons..

Thus, glial cells are the first to detect overhydration.. They send a signal to “turn off” hydration-sensitive neurons.. Trpv4 calls for the release of taurine, which in turn suppresses the activity of the aforementioned nerve cells.

Scientists recommend drinking adequate amounts of water to avoid dehydration or hyperhydration.
