Water is essential for digesting food. It is also important for getting rid of various toxic elements from the body, in the form of urine, sweat and fecal matter.
The body's water content needs to be constant for optimal functioning. Cells are bathed in interstitial fluids (fluids from between cells) that contain nutrients. These fluids also carry metabolic wastes away from the cells. Intracellular fluids facilitate chemical reactions inside the cells, and they help maintain cell structure by adhering to the cell's larger molecules, such as proteins and glycogen . Body fluids contain solutes (chemical compounds that are soluble in water), which separate into charged particles, or ions, when dissolved in water. Intracellular fluids are high in potassium and phosphate ions, while interstitial fluids are high in sodium and chloride ions. These ions help to maintain the amount of fluids both within and outside the cells. Water molecules follow the solutes moving across cell membranes from a lower to higher solute concentration to maintain homeostasis.
You need water to keep your metabolism working the right way. In order for this to happen, there is a certain level of water in each of our bodies that we need to maintain. If we don’t keep that amount, our bodies will start to dehydrate.For example car’s need oil. If your oil level gets too low, your engine will start to run rough.If you totally eliminate your oil supply in your car, your engine will stop running. Same with your body.It is easy to see why it is very important to drink six to eight glasses of water a day.

Water helps remove the dangerous toxins that your body takes in from the air you breathe, the food you eat and the chemicals used in the various products you use on your skin and hair. Without water you would take in too many chemicals which will affect your breathing.
when you drink plenty of water, it sends nutrients to your brain, it is needed to digest food, and it gets rid of toxic wastes.

Water helps us by moistening our glands,that produce saliva, so our skin doesnt turn blue. Another way is it provides us with tears, without them our eyes will become irratated and dry with lots of bacteria.

Drinking enough water can actually help a person lose weight, One of the liver's main jobs is the metabolism of fat. However, another one of its jobs is too pick up the kidney's slack. And since the kidneys need water to keep them going (most of us dont dirnk enough...) The liver does that instead of getting rid of the fat.
