water flushes out the toxins in the body and hydrates you, it's good for the skin and your organs but too much water is also bad for you too.
here's a little something to read:
What happens is that as the athlete consumes large amounts of water over the course of the event, blood plasma (the liquid part of blood) increases. As this takes place, the salt content of the blood is diluted. At the same time, the athlete is losing salt by sweating. Consequently, the amount of salt available to the body tissues decreases over time to a point where the loss interferes with brain, heart, and muscle function.
The official name for this condition is hyponatremia. The symptoms generally mirror those of dehydration (apathy, confusion, nausea, and fatigue), although some individuals show no symptoms at all. If untreated, hyponatremia can lead to coma and even death.

Our Bodies are made up mostly of water. Sometimes we perspire and don't replace the water that has been used up.
Our bodies require water for hydration otherwise we become dehydrated which can be a very severe condition if left unattended.
I am not quite sure what the % is, but water is good for the body.
Keep it hydrated you will be happy you did in years to come.
Drink when you have exercised as well as perspired this replaces the water that has been lost.

It depends on how much. If it is like 8-10 cups, you're perfectly healthy. If you drink too much like 14-16 cups, it isn't good for you. Plus you would have to go to the restroom a lot. I wish I could drink a lot of water. I hate drinking plain water.

For your body to be able to dissolve the different minerals and vitamins that you get through your food, the body needs water. Water also gets your brain going.

Human body is made of 70% water, and a normal individual should consume min 3litres of water , in other words for every 44lbs one should drink one litre of water.

It keeps you hydrated and flushes out the toxins and I read somewhere that it helps flush out some excess fat.
