The human body is very
cleverly designed to keep a good natural balance of fluid. We need to stay
healthily hydrated for that system to work properly. If you’re sufficiently
hydrated and still taking in fluid, your body will simply want to pee out the
excess. That’s how it keeps good balance. This is entirely normal and, if we’re
in good health, our marvellously miraculous bodies do a very fine job of
self-regulating every single day.
What colour is your pee?
If you’re nicely hydrated
your pee will be a very light yellow colour. If you’re not hydrated enough,
your pee will be darker. If your pee is absolutely clear then you don’t need to
take in any more fluid.
If the weather’s hot and
we’re sweating more, that means we’re losing more fluid so we need to drink
more. If we’re doing lots of exercise and sweating more then, yes - you get the
picture. All the while checking the colour of your pee as an indication of
where your body’s really at. You should also be careful with caffeine, which
can affect some people more than others. Although still debated, caffeine seems
to make some people pee more often - so keep an eye on that.
Over-hydration and hyponatremia
Our ideal method of fluid
intake is to sip often throughout the day rather than gulp huge amounts at
once. Otherwise our body’s natural balancing act gets a bit overwhelmed. Drinking
too much water too quickly could cause you problems. Over-hydration means your
body isn’t able to do it’s processing job properly. It can cope with a litre of
water an hour at the most. Logic would dictate that you shouldn’t be drinking
any more than that in that space of time.
Water intoxication or water
poisoning can only happen when you drink absolutely excessive amounts of water
– way too much than your body can cope with. If you’re heading that way you’ll
probably be painfully bloated and you’ll end up vomiting, That’s a pretty good
signal that you’ve drunk too much. Hyponatremia occurs when the salt level in
your blood becomes way too diluted. Exercise-associated hyponatremia is
relatively common in marathon runners when they have not managed their water
intake correctly.
So, can you drink too much
water? Listen to your body for the answer – it works little miracles everyday.
And check the colour of your pee - all the proof you need is right there.
