• in males water accounts for about 70% of the total bodyweight and females about 55%. the difference is because men have substantial more muscle mass then women.
  
  in order for the muscle cells to function properly the body has to be kept well hydrated. if the body is dehyrated muscles cells can not efficiently metabolize fatty acids for energy. water is needed for proper function and to help carry toxins out of the various cell structures.
