Excess minerals in the body produce what is known as a hypertonic environment on the outside of your body's cells. This causes the solution around the cells to draw water out of them in order to dilute the minerals being primarily salts. This can cause dehydration and reduced body functions and even severe effects as some bodily functions can fail.
