It is and you shouldn't drink it. At least not a lot of it or for a long time, otherwise your electrolytes could get to low. And while I don't remember the specifics(biology class was like 15 years ago), I think that can make the osmosis between your cells and your blood not work anymore or even reverse.

    Or just eat food along with water. Under normal conditions drinking distilled water is just fine. But if you’re running a marathon in 100 degree F weather then yes you should also get some salt. This is why sports drinks and pedialyte is better for hydration for strenuous exercise.
