Looking at water, you might think that it's the most simple thing around. Pure water is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. But it's not at all simple and plain and it is vital for all life on Earth. Where there is water there is life, and where water is scarce, life has to struggle or just "throw in the towel."
Pure water has a neutral pH of 7, which is neither acidic nor basic.

The water in you
Think of what you need to survive, really just survive. Food? Water? Air? MTV? Naturally, I'm going to concentrate on water here. Water is of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90 percent of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60 percent of the human body is water, the brain is composed of 70 percent water, and the lungs are nearly 90 percent water. About 83 percent of our blood is water, which helps digest our food, transport waste, and control body temperature. Each day humans must replace 2.4 litres of water, some through drinking and the rest taken by the body from the foods eaten.
There just wouldn't be any you, me, or Fido the dog without the existence of an ample liquid water supply on Earth. The unique qualities and properties of water are what make it so important and basic to life. The cells in our bodies are full of water. The excellent ability of water to dissolve so many substances allows our cells to use valuable nutrients, minerals, and chemicals in biological processes.
Water's "stickiness" (from surface tension) plays a part in our body's ability to transport these materials all through ourselves. The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream. No less important is the ability of water to transport waste material out of our bodies.
You know although water is just water I think botteled waters taste different from each other. Like I drink Zephyrhills Spring Water and when I drink Aquafina or Dausani it tastes different like it has something else in it. Of course I like water and of course I drink it all the time. Although I think sometimes I'll drink soda all day and get dehydrated and I realize I haven't had enough water. I sort of wonder though if bottling companies put in some extra stabilizer or something that makes the water taste different.
Yes, we do need water to stay alive, but don't forget that (like most things..) too much of it is not good for you It's possible that an overdose of water will lead you into coma and then maybe to death. Normally the cells in your body maintain a concentration gradient. There's a balance of sodium and water, and breaking that balance will cause problems. When taking in too much water, there will be relatively little sodium left. Because of that, the water outside of the cell will rush into the cell, I believe. And that action will cause the cell to swell, which leads to tissue damage, your brain cells will be pressured, and the latter is very dangerous.
(The opposite is true aswell, when you take in too much sodium (salt) when you are offered peanuts in a bar for example, this will make your body need more water to maintain the balance, and so thirst will be triggered. This will result in you ordering more drinks )
* There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank. * Water is composed of two elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen. 2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen = H2O. * Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanity’s needs — all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs. * Water regulates the Earth’s temperature. It also regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes. * 75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water. * A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water. * Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour on the ground ends up in our water, and what we spew into the sky ends up inour water. * The average total home water use for each person in the U.S. is about 50 gallons a day. * The average cost for water supplied to a home in the U.S. is about $2.00 for 1,000 gallons, which equals about 5 gallons for a penny. * Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water.
I have no particular reason to hate water. It tastes good, is refreshing, can be used to clean things... A whole myriad of uses. The only annoying thing is that the water where I live is full of chalk so sometimes tastes a bit weird and looks cloudy, but usually it's OK.

If im not mistaken water is the only liquid that can be used to drink or clean things with... or drink first then clean i mean you dont wash your face with sprite do ya...

Hmm... You say that drinking water cancels the effects of eating salty foods, and vise-versa? Then that should mean that drinking mildly salty water is actually better for you that drinking pure water.
Anyway, I love water, whether it be bottled, rain, sea or chlorinated water. (Not so much chlorinated, makes my eyes sting).
there isalot more to water than you people think! it's sensual,refreshingand everything else!lying in a bath of water can calm down even the biggest tempers!

Different brands of bottled water DO taste different. I forget which one, it might be Aquafina, but I don't like it because it has this weird taste. I think mineral water is a little salty, and I don't like that.
I love water. Sometimes I would prefer to have something with more taste, but if I need something refreshing after being outside or whatever, cool water is the best =)

water is the most important thing needed by man.about 75% of human weight is made up of water but some times,many people dont like water for some reasons.i personally like water because it is the best source of refrshment but i seldom drinks water when hungry because of stomach problem.

Ok, so I was watching the news the other night and they had a report that dropped my jaw. They were saying that you should drink 64 ounces of ANY fluid a day, and that it was just as good as drinking water. I know the times that i have been serious about weight training, i have almost OD'd on water. LOL. I am unsure on whether or not to believe the news. One day they are saying drinking coffee causes cancer and then the next week they are saying it cures AIDS (obvious exaggeration). But to my way of thinking, water is pure without many additives and should be processed by your body faster and more efficiently. Whereas, say, diet soda is still loaded with sodium and other crap. Anyone heard of this?
I love water. I drink it with most meals and through out the day. It is very important to stay hydrated since i play lots of sports and always am running. However, like others have said, not all water tastes the same. When i drink the water at school it tastes different from that in my apartment. The reason for this is that they come from different sources and one is known for having a much higher iron content than the other. Plus, some pipes are older than others so they have more deposits in them than others. Finally, i will have to say that in the past week i have had some of the best water i have ever tasted and it was not because i was near a stream or anything. Instead, i was on a cruise ship and they desalitate their own water and thus is was as pure as you can get. It tasted so good all day every day.
