I believe the Prophet SAW said he liked drinking water as it was neither sweet nor salty.

In addition, much of your body requires water to digest food as Jsmith said, by hydrolysis reactions which break down polysaccharides like maltose etc
into monosaccharides like glucose, which are small enough to be absorbed into the body. Also, you can thank water for every single muscle, hair, enzymes
and any other part of your body made of proteins. By giving out water (condensation reactions), you do the opposite of hydrolysis and build up molecules
into bigger ones, for example, amino acids into proteins. Interestingly, without water none of this would be possible, because humans and animals
cannot make their own amino acids, we must obtain our amino acids from plants, which are the only organisms with the powah to make amino acids.
When we eat them, or animals which have eaten them, we take in their proteins. Then we break them by water (hydrolysis), and the shuffle the order
of the amino acids to make the proteins we want by using, you guessed it, water, again (condensation reactions)
I knew those hated Chemistry lessons would one day make me appreciate Islam more. Having typed this in the hot night, I have a wonderful thirst.
I dont think I will appreciate water like I am about to do now...
