why is water so good for you?

The human body, which is made up of between 55 and 75 percent water (lean people have more water in their bodies because muscle holds more water than fat), is in need of constant water replenishment.\n\nConsider this: Your lungs expel between two and four cups of water each day through normal breathing - even more on a cold day. If your feet sweat, there goes another cup of water. If you make half a dozen trips to the bathroom during the day, that's six cups of water. If you perspire, you expel about two cups of water (which doesn’t include exercise-induced perspiration).\n\nIn addition to water and other drinks, many foods are also good sources of water. Juicy fruits like oranges, grapefruit, grapes, watermelon and apples can help keep you healthy and hydrated. Carrots, tomatoes, tuna, yogurt, cottage cheese, soups, rice and pasta also contain plenty of water.\n\nthe most important thing is keeping your body hydrated since your body has to have water to survive, you can only go without ANY WATER SOURCE for 3 days before death. water helps remove toxins from your body. hope this helps. just remember drinking water is not the ONLY way you keep your body hydrate but it is important

It gets rid of toxins, eliminates waste, stops you from feeling bloated and it stops you from feeling hungry all the time.\n\nAlthough it is advised to drink 8 glasses a day, remember that water is also in food as well as in drinks.

The body is 90% water.  By drinking water, you are filling your stomach up thus telling your brain that you are not hungry which cuts down on the amount of calories you eat.  Also, water has 0 calories.  If you stop drinking soda and only drink water, the weight will fly off.  It also flushes out the impurities in your body and keeps your other organs strong.  I did this and lost 10lbs in 2 weeks and it didnt come back.  Hope that helps.

Water distributes heat much faster than air can, thus, if your are warmer, it will absorb your body heat.

Water isn't important for everything. It's only important for living things such as plants, human beings, and small bacteria. Water is the one and only thing that could give you energy and rehydrate you completely. Water as the last person said has 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Those gases are helpful for your body to function.

it helps me because i'm to full of water to eat much. but be prepared to pitch a tent in the bathroom because your gonna pee like crazy. that also helps because its getting all the toxins out of your body. and water doesn't have sugar or caffiene, so you can drink all you want with no regrets

It increases your weight VERY temporarily while it is in your stomach til you pee it out...\n\nOverall though it can help you lose weight, as your body runs better when you are well hydrated, plus drinking lots of water actually keeps your body from retaining water weight (because your body knows it doesn't have to store the water for a shortage); water has absolutely no calories and is the healthiest drink you can have.  Also, ice cold water helps you burn calories by lowering your body temperature slightly (so you have to burn calories to warm the water--and yourself--back up).  Finally, drinking water before meals can fill you up (remember, no calories), and then you won't be as hungry and won't eat as much.  Yay water!

Drinking 8-10 glasses of water per day actually helps the body rid itself of stored water (even though it may sound illogical).  Make sure that heart disease or kidney disease isn't causing your fluid retention.

it's usually because your body is just not awake. drinking water as soon as you get up is actually good. it rehydrates you after not drinking anything all night and the fluid also wakes up your brain.

Sodium makes you gain water weight, not water.  Water actually flushes away water weight.  Drinking cold water can help you burn calories, because it takes calories to bring the water up to your body temp, but green tea has antioxidants that help flush away impurities in your body.  I would use both.

Yep it's water but not the fountain of youth. Drinking water and lots of it rejuvenates the skin and keeps it healthy and nourished, our bodies and the earth is made mostly of water so go figure.  We can't survive without water you would die, literally.

Yup.  Too much water will kill you.  Too little water, will kill you.  Balance = happiness

it is not as good as plain water unless you are truly depleted. these drinks contain many things you don't need including calories.

yes\n-sodium helps the body maintain water balance also if we were made of 100% pure water our cells would explode, so sodium dissolves in water helps to keep water in and out of cells\n-calcium helps build strong bones  - wihtout women and some men get osteoperosis\n-potassium i'm not sure but its metal and has to do something with the blood . . . good luck
