Water is necessary for human health. Your body is between 60% and 70% water, and this balance needs to be maintained in order for your body and brain to work optimally. When one does not drink sufficient water throughout the day, dehydration can set in and cause various problems such as headaches, aching and stiff joints, and much more.

These may make you feel less thirsty, but it is only pure drinking water that really does the job of hydrating your body efficiently.
