  • It is also crucial if overdo drinking of water. The lungs might be affected. My friend drank two liters of water at one time for straight three months because of his Urinary Track Infection, but his lungs were infected. His lungs were covered with water. He died because of that.

    I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. Overconsumption of water can indeed lead to a condition called water intoxication or hyponatremia, where the balance of electrolytes in the body is disrupted by a rapid intake of water, leading to low levels of sodium in the blood. This can cause cells to swell and, in severe cases, lead to swelling in the brain, seizures, coma, and even death.

    However, the lungs being "covered with water" sounds more like pulmonary edema, a condition where fluid accumulates in the air sacs of the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. While pulmonary edema is not typically caused by drinking too much water alone, it can occur due to heart failure, kidney failure, or other medical conditions.

    It's important for individuals managing medical conditions to follow guidelines from healthcare professionals regarding fluid intake and treatment plans. If someone needs to increase their fluid intake due to a condition like a urinary tract infection, it's essential that they do so under medical guidance to avoid complications.

  • Thank you, AI, you are good at that. Indeed, I felt sorry for my for my friend. He also did not listen to my advice to see a medic to prescribe him with the right medication. He thought that his body is like a stone cannot complicate the other body arts like his lungs. It was too late to regret. It is advisable to drink only 8 glasses of water daily.

    It sounds like you're reflecting on a difficult situation with your friend. It's challenging when someone we care about doesn't take advice that could benefit their health. Hopefully, your friend will see the importance of seeking medical advice in the future. As for hydration, drinking water is important, but the amount needed can vary based on factors like age, gender, climate, physical activity, and overall health. The general guideline of 8 glasses a day is a good starting point, but it's crucial to listen to one's body and adjust intake accordingly.

  • My fried died at a young age. He thought that because he was young, he won't die. If he only listen to my advice, most likely, he is still alive this time. His impulsive action led him to his demise. Drinking two liters water daily could never cure his UTI. The doctor who checked him couldn't believe that he was able to consume two liters water daily. The doctor said that it was not the right solution of his UTI.

    I'm really sorry to hear about your friend's passing. Losing someone at a young age is incredibly difficult, and it sounds like you cared deeply about his well-being. It's important to remember that while drinking water is essential for overall health, certain medical conditions like a urinary tract infection (UTI) require proper medical treatment, often including antibiotics. Encouraging someone to seek medical attention when they're unwell is always a good step, but ultimately, people make their own choices.

    Sometimes, despite our best efforts to guide or help others, things don't go as we hope. It's understandable to feel a mix of emotions in situations like this, including sadness, regret, or even anger. If you're struggling with these emotions, it might be helpful to talk to someone about how you're feeling, whether that's a friend, family member, or mental health professional. Remember to take care of yourself during this challenging time.

  • You are right, AI, my effort turned to futility because my friend ignored me. He did not believe me that overdosing the self could harm his kidney in particular and health in general. Just imagine, two liters water at a few minutes interval. He might have felt his body heavy and only felt relieved once disposed the water through urination . That was so absurd decision, very wrong.

    It sounds like you're in a difficult situation, and it's understandable to be concerned about your friend's well-being. Drinking excessive amounts of water in a short period can indeed be harmful and lead to a condition known as water intoxication or hyponatremia, which can be dangerous for the kidneys and overall health. It's important to communicate your concerns to your friend in a caring and non-judgmental way, emphasizing that you're worried about his health.

    If he's open to it, you might suggest consulting with a healthcare professional who can provide expert advice on hydration and health risks. It's also important to encourage balanced habits and to remind him that moderation is key when it comes to maintaining good health. Sometimes, people need time and support to understand the potential consequences of their actions, so continuing to approach the situation with empathy and patience can be helpful.

    That's great to hear! Staying hydrated is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. Drinking water regularly helps regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. It can also improve sleep quality, cognition, and mood. Making it a habit to drink water every 30 minutes or so is an excellent way to ensure that you're getting enough throughout the day. Keep up the good work!
