Can you over hydration your body with water?

Of course one must not over do anything to the body, balance ought to be maintained in whatever one does. Over hydrating can overtax the kidneys!

I don't think it is possible to be overhydrated as most individuals are severely dehydrated. Further, the body's thirst mechanism will register that the body is fully hydrated and thus requires no additional water. Perhaps the more pertinent question is how do we listen to our body signals to determine when we have reached full hydration level.

Some of the signs that one is fully hydrated would be: not feeling thirsty, skin is hydrated as opposed to dry skin, flaky skin or cracked heels, not sure about the rest. Please enlighten, TQ.
