Can water kill you? Its said to be a good thing but can it also be bad? Today I read an article about how if you drink to much water you can actually die. It can make your cells swell and then since there is no room to swell in your head you can actually die.
This was very interesting to me because when I go to bike races, I drink a large amount of water to compensate for my race. I think this might actually hinder me in my race because of the amount of water I drink. It may actually dilute my blood enough so that I am not getting the correct amount of salt that I need. I am ging to use this information next time I go to a race to see if it helps me to drink less water and therefore my blood will not be as diluted.
Good Elliott. I like you intro and personal connection. I'd like to see more of a summary about the Biology discussed in the article.
