Why is water important for everything?

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.

Water is essential to survival and optimal health... but there IS such thing as too much of a good thing.\n\nSO, if you are guzzling down lots of water but not getting enough 'electrolytes' then you can end up with hyponatremia; a dangerous condition that results because your body needs to use electrolytes to create urine.\n\nALSO, the gastric emptying time of water alone is pretty fast (the time for water to leave your stomach) so you will NOT stretch out your stomach by drinking water.\n\nFind a balance. There's no *Magic* way to lose weight.

It helps flush out your system frequently (gets rid of toxins and what have you - ensures good working kidneys - has no calories or refined sugars - hint hint. It hydrates your body, replenishes sweat loss and is essential since more than 75% of our body is made up of water. \n\nWater is required by every cell in the body as nourishment and to remove wastes. When water becomes scarce, the body tries to limit the amount it loses through breathing, mucous production, urination, perspiration and bowel movements.\n\nYOu lose water even when you breathe since the carbon dioxide you breathe out is humid. Coffee, tea and soda all contain caffeine which is a known diuretic and will actually accentuate the symptoms of fluid loss. Fruit juices are more concentrated in sugar than your body's fluids and so the body will attempt to dilute them in the gut thereby causing a loss of water from other areas of the body

That is why I only trust on tap water from home with a system that would remove most or allchemicals and metals in the water. Others have bacteria and metals that make you become poisoned, damage your nerves or make you ill.

Drinking lots of water that is pureified or spring water is important, also exercise because healthy skin comes from good circulation. For vitamins, Vitamin A & E is great as well as selenium. The amino acids can also be bought as supplments and lysine is particularly good.

Absolutely.  Water is a great cleanser and waste disposer.  In the tropical countries the heat is so much, drinking 8 glasses of water per day need not be forced.  Probably we are drinking more.  The question is more relevant in the temperate zones where you do not drink water so much.  Water is necessary for healthy skin as well.  Please check out any of the websites on water, plenty of them around.  Half of them say that there is no proof drinking that much water helps.  But we, in the east, tend to believe otherwise.  Water is so much a part of our daily living.  After all there is nothing called water overloading, since excess water is eliminated by the body very easily too, unless you have a reduced kidney function.

That's when one collects rain water in  large containers or pond for latter use in irrigation, toilet flushing, showering, car washing, etc.  It saves natural resources.  In fact it doesn't take much investment of effort...depending, however, on the complexities of the system.

I agree.  They pretty much all need water, but they can take up many different substances.  In some circles, it is believed that for every substance in the world, there is a microorganism that can break it down.  Things like nitrogen, different carbon sources and a polethora of other things are commonly taken up by bacteria.

Not sure what you mean. \n\nHowever water is a compound made up from 2 atoms of hydrogen(H) and one atom of oxygen (O), hence H20. You cannot have water without either element, so yes oxygen is needed to make water.

Its very important as it breathe and produce loads of oxygen. Even though its under water it balance total environment. \n\nI hope the first answer didn't serve you..!

mostly chlorine. I think a lot of the water fountains and tap water have chlorine in it to keep it safe. But some people are alergic to it, and it isnt the healthiest thing in the world. But it shouldnt do TOO much harm. In some other areas there might be a bit nastier chemicals like... mercury?\nhaha. But I think people boil the water first to kill any unwanted microsopic things that miught be livingn in there. But... I dont think having germies in water is that big of a problem in the U.S. eh. But i guess you can never be too safe.
