- your cells are supposed to have alot of water so your good. you probably just hydrate more/better than they do
- Hi Joe, I think the human body is mostly water. If we didn't have water we would be dead. Water helps in running the whole body,so it will function right. Just like the heart that pumps our blood.It's how our bodies work. A Friend Clowmy
- You may have wasted your money. In men about 72% of the body mass is water. This value is about 68% in women due to a higher proportion of body fat. This is the total body water. A significant fraction of the human body is water. This body water is distributed in different compartments in the body. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water. Blood contains 83% water, body fat contains 25% water and bone has 22% water. Knowing your BMI is more important than knowing your percentages of water or fat. Keep healthy. Rick the Pharmacist
