Completely agree about the drinking gallons of water. Whenever I see a challenge like that, it just makes me cringe. I don't believe remineralizing RO water hydrates you in the same way as it would if them minerals weren't taken out in the first place. I'm walking proof of that. I was experiencing itchy skin for 8 whole years and after I started drinking spring water (which completely stopped my itching), I realized the issue started when I started (over)filtering my water. The impact itchy skin had on my life was incredible. I could only wear certain fabrics to not make my skin itch more, I resorted to using cooling muscle cream to feel anything but itching when I was trying to sleep at night, it literally impacted every waking moment of my day. And to find out that switching to spring water fixed this issue was mind blowing and of course some cognitive dissonance because all I ever heard before this is to filter filter filter your water! Get all the crap out. But that also gets out all the beneficial elements of the water too.

Good advice!
