In Nigeria’s tropical climate, staying hydrated isn’t just a health suggestion — it’s a daily survival strategy. With scorching heat in the North, high humidity in the South, and intense outdoor activity across the country, millions of Nigerians sweat more than they realize. But here’s the catch: many people are unknowingly dehydrated, even while holding a bottle or sachet of water.
In this article, we’ll clear the air on common hydration myths, share expert advice from a Nigerian sports coach and dermatologist, and explain why Ajalisco Premium Water is the smart hydration choice for your health, skin, and daily energy levels.
Myth #1: “If I’m Not Thirsty, I Don’t Need Water”
Expert Insight (Coach David Olawale, Lagos)
“Thirst is a late-stage signal. By the time you feel thirsty, your body has already lost about 1–2% of its total water. That can affect focus, mood, and muscle function — especially in hot environments like Nigeria.”
Truth: Your body needs water consistently throughout the day. Don’t wait for thirst to hit. Schedule water breaks every 1–2 hours, especially if you work outdoors or commute long distances.
Pro Tip: Keep Ajalisco Premium Water sachets or bottles in your bag, car, or office. The convenient packaging makes it easy to sip consistently without overpaying for water.
Myth #2: “Energy Drinks or Soft Drinks Can Replace Water”
Dr. Uchechi Eze, Dermatologist (Enugu):
“Sugar-packed drinks cause water loss instead of hydration. They make your kidneys work harder, and the excess sugar pulls fluid away from your skin and cells.”
Truth: While they may quench your immediate thirst, fizzy drinks and energy drinks often worsen dehydration. For real hydration, nothing beats clean, pure water.
Ajalisco Water is:
- NAFDAC-approved
- Filtered using multi-stage purification
- Free from sugar, additives, and chemicals
Perfect for daily hydration without any health risks.
Myth #3: “I Don’t Need Much Water Because I Don’t Sweat”
Many people assume that only athletes or outdoor workers need to drink lots of water. But even sitting in traffic, working indoors, or sleeping in a hot room can lead to fluid loss through breathing, urination, and sweating — even if you don’t feel it.
Coach David: “You lose water all day, even when resting. If you wait until you’re sweating buckets, you’ve already dipped into dehydration.”
Solution: Make it a habit to drink water before you’re thirsty. Start your day with one sachet or glass of Ajalisco water and drink small amounts steadily.
Myth #4: “Drinking Too Much Water Is Harmful”
Yes, overhydration is real, but it’s extremely rare — and usually only a risk when people chug gallons at once. For the average Nigerian adult, the body easily regulates water through sweat and urination.
Dr. Uchechi: “For healthy individuals, the kidneys are excellent at removing excess water. As long as you space your intake across the day, there’s no harm in drinking more water.”
Ideal Intake:
- Men: 3.0–3.5 liters per day
- Women: 2.5–3.0 liters per day
- Children: At least 5–8 sachets of water depending on activity level and age
Myth #5: “My Skin Creams Keep My Skin Hydrated”
External moisturizers help seal moisture in, but true skin hydration starts from within.
Dr. Uchechi: “If your water intake is poor, no cream can replace what’s missing internally. Dehydrated skin looks dull, flakes easily, and reacts more to sunlight.”
What to do: Drink Ajalisco Premium Water consistently — your skin will become clearer, more elastic, and resistant to harsh weather. Combine it with sunscreen and a light moisturizer for best results.
Bonus Tip: Build a Hydration Habit (The “3-3-3 Rule”)
To stay hydrated effortlessly, follow this:
- 3 cups (or sachets) by noon
- 3 sachets between lunch and dinner
- 3 sachets before bedtime (early enough to not disrupt sleep)
Using Ajalisco sachet water, this adds up to just over 1.5 liters per day — a great baseline for most adults, especially during hot seasons.
