Free YouBike Rides （新聞英文PDF檔上傳生題）

一位國中生在親戚舉辦的聚會上，參加了一項喝水比賽。他很快就喝了大約6,000c.c.的冷泡茶，贏得獎金新臺幣6,000元。然而，回到家後，他開始出現頭暈、嘔吐和抽搐這些症狀表明是水中毒，也就是水分過多。憂心忡忡的父母立刻將他送往醫院，他得到了及時治療，幸運康復了。

雖然成年人通常每天可以排出多達18公升的尿液，但建議三小時內不要飲用超過2公升的水。然而，這名學生在短短十分鐘內就喝掉了6公升的茶水。他的身體不堪負荷，無法足夠快速地排出多餘水分。此外，茶中缺乏電解質，破壞了他體內的化學平衡，導致低血鈉症，即血液中的鈉含量因水分過多而變得危險的低水平。

當水的攝取速度遠遠快於身體排出水的能力時，就會發生水分過多的狀況，導致大腦功能失衡。其顯現的症狀為呼吸和心率緩慢、體溫降低、嗜睡、頭痛、嘔吐、煩躁和顱內壓力升高等。嚴重的情況會導致不可逆轉的腦損傷，甚至致命。

保持水分充足很重要，但有鑑別力地適量喝水也同樣重要。過量飲水，尤其是在短時間內，會對大腦和整體健康產生嚴重且持久的影響。了解身體的極限並保持均衡的液體攝取量，是避免水分過多而導致危險的關鍵。
