Thoughts on Water: Toxicity
Filed Under Health and Wellness |
The human body eliminates excess water and electrolytes including sodium, chloride, and potassium through urination. This simple process helps our bodies to maintain homeostasis—a healthy internal chemical balance.
If people do not drink enough water for their own needs, there will be a buildup of electrolytes in the body. Although electrolytes aren’t exactly “toxins,” too many can still prevent equilibrium within the body.
And another thing, what about diabetics? When there is excess sugar in the blood, urination is a way to excrete the substance, which can cause significant harm to the body in high amounts. If people who are diabetic do not drink enough water to regulate blood sugar levels, this could lead to a headache, faintness, or even a coma.
