is it true about red wine?

Acutally, Hyponatremia is a lack of sodium in the blood that can lead to cardiac arythmia that can cause arrest and then death.

 

Anyone who is on a strenuous workout regimen is suseptible to this, but good nutrition and avoiding long sessions (i.e. marathons) without nourishment makes one less likely to succumb to this,

 

Water intoxication is what most posts reflect here, it is when you dilute and unbalance fluid levels in the body. This causes elation, giddiness and decrease in motor dexterity. It is easily remidied by slightly increasing sodium intake and decreasing water intake.

 

As far as water being poison, the body is +/- 70% water (depending on body fat) and water is hardly poison.

 

Lesson to be learned, EVERYTHING in moderation!

Hehe, if you want me to get nippy... the official name for 'water intoxication' is hyponatremia. There are five types of hyponatremia, all of which could impact the heart's performance, but moreso... the head's performance.

 

Ooo... i made a funny.

 

Anyway, hypovolemic hyponatremia is the one most commonly associated with too much water intake while exercising in hot temperatures. Euvolemic hyponatremia is the one most commonly associated with psychogenic polydipsia, a psychologically induced overintake of water. Hypervolemic hyponatremia can be experienced by an excess intake of beer or ecstacy. Many drugs and medical conditions can also cause hyponatremia.

 

Pfft. Hey delta1. He doubted our... err... my uberness.

Heaven forbid you get nippy!

 

Hey, I thought it was hypervolemic hyponatremia that was caused by fluid overload without a psychotic contributor?

 

Water intoxication can lead to hyponatremia, water intoxication refers to the other symptoms as well, as I'm sure you know hyponatremia can be caused by many different factors, not just fluid overload.

 

I don't mean to start an arguement or split hairs, but I do enjoy responding to such a well thought, and eloquently stated post!

Ahhhh man, now i don't feel like drinking water anymore...

Red wine has antioxidants which can be beneficial. To be honest though, I think that a good high-antioxidant supplement or vitamin can be just as good if not better. There's nothing wrong with a little wine now and then, however.

I've been given doctors' orders to drink more wine. My good cholesterol is low, and there are apparently only two easy ways to increase it... more exercise, or adding wine. He says I shouldn't exercise any more than I do and that more wine is the way to go for me hehehe...
