...I really must comment regarding your reference to "WATER"
.....What dreary old way of taking in FLUIDS !... Try thinking about Tea,Coffee, Beer, wines and soft drinks Etc.

.... Anyway, behind that simple statement, there is a wealth of wisdom.
...Without an adequate amount of fluids, our bodies are subject to kinds of diseases and illnesses--- all of which can be fatal.

....Like all machines, our body needs "Lubricating " ---CONSTANTLY or it doesn't work ---At least not for long.
.....Everyone has heard about "KIDNEY FAILURE" --Haven't we ?
...Unless it's thoroughly FLUSHED OUT DAILY, the STRONG urine BURNS the kidneys and they become INFLAMED and begin to die through over work.
...Believe me when I say that URINE can really burn if too strong
...A bright orange colour is a sure sign of not having an adequate intake of fluids

....Other symptoms of not having enough fluids, is that the body reaches a state when there is INSUFFICIENT to go round (LUBRICATE) the body and other things start to "SHUT DOWN"
....Severe constipation can --and does occur, when the intestines can no longer supply enough lubricant.to the "Stools"

.....Also, The body can't provide enough fluid (SWEAT) to keep the body at the correct temperature
.
.....Blood production is under pressure -- leading to heart failure and reduced flow to the brain
.....Having a lack of fluids will also affect your ability to provide lubrication to your muscles
------ Ask any athlete on a long run.

....In short , You need a good supply of fluids to kept your body working ----or you DIE
.

it really makes everything work better. But dont overdo it either, too much water can be harmful..

the partially hydroxegenated planet on which we abide.

You don't become dehydrated is the biggest most obvious benefit.
Water helps you stay healthy.
