Because it is an escape from gravity

hello,our body needs water to survive,without it we would die,our system knows this.

Humans fine it pleasant our bodys injoy the water the feel it leaves in us.

Coz it's refreshing!!

If you accept that the average adult human body is somewhere between 50 and 65% water, it follows that water is a necessity of life. Our finding it pleasant may be nature's way of ensuring that we make an effort to get it into our bodies by seeing and feeling that intake as a positive, pleasing, experience. Maybe we find water so pleasant because the lack of it is so unpleasant. Dehydration, for example. When you're really thirsty, cold, or cool, water is what helps me most. Whatever your preference, almost anything you're going to drink will be mostly water. Your brain interprets the relief of your discomfort as pleasant, and in fact, until you rehydrate, you're going to feel distinctly unpleasant. Humans can survive on water and no food for several weeks. But the inverse? Just a few days, so it's a good thing we do find water pleasant. Getting the right amount is too important for our health and well-being to leave its intake up to simply knowing it's needed. I know there are many things I should do, and need to do, but for whatever reason, don't, or haven't. Maybe it's laziness. Perhaps ignoring them is easy and hasn't been too painful - yet. But when the pain of neglect outweighs the benefit of laziness, those things will get a lot more attention. When it comes to water and the body, the same principle applies. Waiting until we're thirsty means dehydration's already started, but at least something will kick in and, sooner or later, demand enough attention to spur us into action. Mother Nature knows we need a lot more than just "don't forget the H2O" on our mental to-do lists. It makes sense that knowledge, combined with physical gratification, or perhaps a little pain and discomfort when ignored, is a much more forceful motivator than knowledge alone. Because we associate it with good things, maybe we naturally expect being close to water will be good, too. Then, every positive experience reinforces the association. You've seen beautiful photos of lakes, rivers, and the ocean - not to mention the awesome splendor of the real thing. Looking into an aquarium can be soothing and the fish are usually interesting to watch. Swimming, snorkeling, sailing or just hanging out by the pool, chill some of the swelter and stifle off a blazing summer sun. And if you've ever escaped from the roar and chaos of life by walking on the beach, listening to the surf, that's a lot more than just pleasant. Besides a million other things, it relieves stress. De-stressing and unwinding aren't simply enjoyable - they're fundamental elements in a healthy and happy life. Those are all positive, and they all involve water. Some of my earliest, best memories involve water. A bunch of little blue and yellow plastic ducks and a couple of toy boats hit the water with me whenever bath time rolled around. It was great fun. Splashing water all over my mom was neat, especially when I caught her off guard. She'd splash back and we'd go at it for a few minutes, just laughing and splashing. The ducks usually ended up on the floor with about half the bathtub's water, but that never seemed to matter. We'd still be laughing, so even overboard water cleanup was fun. She's the reason, of course, those are such sweet memories, but it wouldn't be much of a remembrance without including water, would it? A warm bath always took the chill off cold weather, too. The ducks eventually found a bigger pond and the boats went into drydock, but even now, when it's really cold, a hot bath is my favorite way to get warm again. When the weather's hot and humid - a cold drink, and a long, cool shower's the ticket. Temperature regulation is one thing water does for the body, and again, it feels wonderful. Temperature aside, soaking in a warm bath or jacuzzi may just be the best present you could give your body. The almost weightless atmosphere gives sore muscles, joints, and bones a chance to slip away from gravity's endless call. There's not a lot that can match the feeling, because there's not a lot that can match water. For a few minutes, at least, you can forget the pain. Another reason we find water so pleasant might be its pH level (7.0). The body's pH is close to the blood pH of 7.35 - 7.45, and skin's normal pH must be fairly close to that, too. (Thanks for the correct info, Lynnenorth!) When you're sweaty, your skin's pH is high, meaning it's more basic than acidic. A high base pH has a dehydrating effect on skin and that means dry and itchy. Anything, like water, that helps brings your skin's pH back to normal will be a source of real pleasure. Maybe on a level too deep to grasp, we retain some kind of awareness that water surrounded us for our first few months of life, and that's one reason we find it so pleasant. After nine or so months of water, water, everywhere, the first time we see or touch water on this side must be comforting, even exciting. Perhaps that reintroduction is all that's needed for a strong affinity to blossom and grow. Babies can't understand it, but don't you just know, when an infant sees and feels water for the first time, there's something inside that little brain just wiggling itself to pieces with unrestrained joy and happiness and blubbering all over with something like, "hey!! you feel familiar! i know you ...... you're..you're...you're water, that's who!! ......... so that's what you look like! hey! how you been?!!........... did you miss me?........ where'd you go anyway?....... are you warm enough?..........you're all wet!!....... how long have i been gone?......did I miss anything?......... You don't have to convince me. My mother's favorite story was about my first bath. Apparently, a more-than-delightful experience for the kid and a fun, memorable one for the mom. Why? Well, let's see... there's always the chance that I was a fastidious little thing and felt relieved about getting clean, (big grin) It's a safer bet, though, that all my happiness had less to do with the clean and a lot more to do with the water. I didn't burst with delight over soap until about twenty-five years later when I had a few credit cards and walked into Crabtree and Evelyn for the first time. ~~~~~~~ Lynne! Thank you! I always wondered about that and couldn't find any conclusive info. I figured someone knowledgeable would let me know if it was wrong, and I appreciate your help. So 6.0 would be dead. Oh my. That's not good, is it, LOL?

Water has not only a scientific and anatomical appeal for humans. Its vast, unexplored (to a certain extent) and mysterious. 80% of the earth is covered by water and there is an entire different world below it. There is also an element of freedom and escape.

When you are completely surrounded by water you float. Floating is the state we would be in without gravity. Since we are born with, raised with, and usually die with gravity, swimming is the only experience we get otherwise. As for your husband's arthritis, he likes the warm water because it relaxes his joints. This will cause him to feel less pain. I hope this clarifys what I meant.

i find it peacefull, i love to be around the lake and such and just sit...it's a calming feeling

Prior to birth humans float in embryonic fliuds. Its highly oxygenated. Being in water is soothing and some might say maternal.

Only Because its taste less. if it had a taste there would have been chances for the existance of two types of humans. for example = 1) people who like sweet 2) people who like spice
