[QUOTE="aspenleaf, post: 209833, member: 5143"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]You can drink too much water! As a few have stated drinking something with electrolytes (such as Gatorade) will replace the sodium you have sweated out. If you aren’t a big fan of sports drinks you can also replace the salt by drinking fruit juice, eating soft fruits or vegetables Hyponatremia is what happens (also known as water intoxication).
