DON'T drink too much water, PLEASE!

I have another blog I write on and I always write different things on the two blogs. However, this particular subject is so important, I thought it had better be on both as the consequence of
what happened is too real - and terrible. I want people to know that even water can be dangerous for us if we consume too much.

I am a water advocate, and have never made the statement "don't drink too much water" before. I just assumed everyone knows that too much of ANYTHING can be toxic.

Sadly a 28 year old mother of three died last week after entering a radio contest to see who could "Hold Your Wee for a Wii". The prize was a Nintendo Wii gaming console. Of course the show was cancelled and people were fired, nonetheless, three small children are without a mother!

The cause of death was "water intoxication". PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, use the intellect you have and be moderate in all that you do. Whether it's alcohol, pop, water, juice, or drinking any liquid, be smart.

That goes for anything that might be injested into your body. Use your wits and remember that moderation is fine in most instances (though some things should be shunned altogether), almost anything can be handled by our human body in moderate doses.

Remember.......your body is the only place you have to live permanently while residing on earth - take care of it and you will retain good health and a healthy mind.
