Waterlogged? Too much water isn't the answer to heat stress

Article Abstract:

Too much water might prove dangerous for athletes and bodybuilders who try to avoid heat stress during summer. This is because consuming too much water dilutes sodium in the body, resulting in a condition called hyponatremia which prevents the muscles, organs and brain from functioning properly. Hyponatremia could lead to tissue damage and put bodybuilders and athletes at risk of muscle wasting, coma and seizures.
