I drink a lot of water per day. Could that be bad for my health?

Drinking too much water can actually be harmful to your health. It is generally recommended to drink about 2 liters of water per day, plus additional fluids to replenish any lost through sweating. Drinking more than 5 liters of water per day can increase your risk of developing hyponatremia, which can be dangerous. It's important to find a balance and not overhydrate yourself.
