The Importance of Hydration

Water is essential for nearly every function in your body. Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients, lubricate joints, and remove waste.

In Nigeria's warm climate, dehydration can happen quickly. Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses (about 2-2.5 liters) of water per day, potentially more if you are active or spend time outdoors.

Signs of Dehydration:

• Thirst
• Dark yellow urine
• Dry mouth and skin
• Headache
• Fatigue or dizziness

Carry a water bottle with you and sip throughout the day. Don't wait until you feel thirsty to drink.
