Can normal person water poison?

First: first of all, normal people are not water poisoning! Only the body has some defects and deficiencies can cause water poisoning. Because the human body has a strong regulatory system, even if drinking too much water, it will immediately start the recovery of sodium, so that the body fluid electrolyte to normal. If people with normal heart and kidney function want to have water poisoning, they should not have "sweating a lot for several days in a row + drinking a lot of water + food without salt".

Second: people often drink a certain amount of water, they will have the feeling of "withstanding", and will not drink without restriction《 According to the dietary guidelines for Chinese residents, healthy adults need about 2500 milliliters of water a day.

Because of the poor sensitivity of the nerve center to water shortage in the elderly, once they feel thirsty, it means that the body has been seriously short of water. Therefore, the elderly should not feel thirsty before drinking, but at any time a small number of times to supplement water, especially in winter and spring dry season should be so.
