The chronic dehydration that I am speaking is due to poor habits in the past...eating acidic foods, drinking coffee, not drinking enough water. I have since cleaned up my diet and take the alkalizing drink and baths. I drink quite a bit of water now but I feel like it just goes right through me, like it doesn't actually ever actually hydrate my cells...instead, I seem to just pee it right out and always have this underlying feeling of thirst no matter how much I drink.
