[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 2496707, member: 112460"] Drinking an excess of water would cause an increase in the blood volume which then causes an increase in the pressure on the walls of blood vessels. Healthy arteries are usually flexible enough to respond to this increase in pressure. Healthy kidneys then remove the excess water which is eventually removed from the body as urine. There are various formulae for calculating the optimum volume of water required per individual per day some which try to account for water present in food (often forgotten), activity level and external temperature as well as the water in beverages. The calculated amounts vary hugely. IMHO we are often told to drink far more water than we actually need, usually by manufacturers of expensive bottled water! Others may disagree! [/QUOTE]
