Turkish nephrologist Serkan Yildiz said that drinking plenty of water, which is very many experts recommend, actually harms the body. According to him, the liquid washes out a lot of elements necessary for normal functioning.

In particular, he noted that sodium is washed out, which should normally be 135-145 millimoles per liter in human blood. According to the expert, in the case of a lack of sodium, a person can develop water poisoning, which is called hyponatremia.

Many recommend filling the lack of sodium with a lot of salt, but Yildiz warns that this can harm people with heart and kidney disease. . According to the nephrologist, the statements that drinking a lot of water contributes to weight loss are also not true.
