Well, you want to stay hydrated so your body can continue to sweat to cool you off and make blood and other things. Your body is actually more than 90% water, so you need a lot of it to stay healthy. You don't actually have to drink water, though, to get your daily hydration. You can get your water from any liquids you drink, although most other things add extra sugar, chemicals, and other things you may not particularly need, and you can even get your water from fresh fruits and vegetables which have high water concentrations.

Water is crucial to your health. It makes up, on average, 60 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry on normal functions. Even mild dehydration - as little as a 1 percent to 2 percent loss of your body weight - can sap your energy and make you tired. Dehydration poses a particular health risk for the very young and the very old. Signs and symptoms of dehydration include:
Excessive thirst
Fatigue
Headache
Dry mouth
Little or no urination
Muscle weakness
Dizziness
Lightheadedness

Water is a fundamental part of our lives. The importance of drinking water is immeasurable and the health benefits of drinking water are innumerable. If you consider that the average adult body is comprised of 55-75% water, you can begin to see the importance of drinking water. To further demonstrate the health benefits of drinking water, consider that 2/3 of your body weight is water (40 to 50 quarts). A human embryo is more than 80% water. A newborn baby is 74% water. Everyday your body must replace 2 1/2 quarts of water with pure, natural drinking water.
Basically, we need lots of fresh drinking water to stay healthy. Aside from aiding in digestion and the absorption of food, drinking water regulates body temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, and removes toxins and other wastes. This "body water," which is obtained by consuming plenty of drinking water, also cushions joints and protects tissues and organs, including the spinal cord, from shock and damage. Conversely, not intaking enough drinking water - or putting your body into a state of dehydration - can be the cause of many ailments. In his book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water, Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj noted the importance of drinking water by expressing his beliefs that chronic dehydration might cause certain body ailments including hypertension, asthma, allergies, and migraine headaches.
Every process in our body occurs in a water medium. We can exist without food for 2 months or more, but we can only survive for a few days without drinking water.
Most people don't consume enough drinking water. The body responds to this deficiency of drinking water - or dehydration - in a variety of ways, which we frequently see as illnesses. Ongoing dehydration may cause actual disease as the body struggles to maintain itself with insufficient water.
