My whole life I’ve always made the mistake of drinking a lot of water in one sitting. That’s why I always wondered why my lips were chapped even though I knew I was drinking a ton of water. When you drink a lot at once, most of it doesn’t get absorbed by our cells, but just gets flushed out by our kidneys. So in order to stay well hydrated, I’ve learned that you have to take sips of water and usually best with a meal or maybe even an additive in water like lemon.
