Does drinking an increased average daily water intake carry sodium out of the body and potentially increase ones need for sodium? For example if someone drank a gallon or so a day and followed a low less than 1500mg of sodium diet would the excess water carry sodium out of the body and thus put the person at risk for sodium deficiency or does increased water not flush sodium from the body?

I know acute over consumption of water can dilute blood sodium and cause hyponatremia but I'm talking long term and not dilute blood levels just low body levels in general.

Thanks.

Water is not bad for your body.. Personally, I drink no Alcohol, Coffee, Tea, or even Sodas, only Water and I drink lots of it.. Now water helps us to flush sodium from our system but it is more than that, it keeps your kidneys clean and that is something we all need. Drinking water normally (2 up to 3 letters) of water a day.. Next to that, I am not sure what I can tell you
