Frequently Asked Questions

Does tea, coffee, or soft drinks count as water?
They contribute fluid, but plain water is best. If you drink lots of caffeine or sugary drinks, you may need extra water.
What if I sweat a lot in Nigeria’s heat?
If you work outdoors, exercise often, or stay in hot environments, you’ll lose more fluid through sweat. Tick the “Heavy sweating” box to add a buffer.
Can drinking too much water be harmful?
Yes, excessive water intake can be unsafe for some people. If you have kidney, heart issues, or are on fluid restriction, follow your clinician’s advice.
How can I make it easier to hit my target?
Don’t rush it. Spread your water across the day: 1 cup on waking, 1 mid morning, 1–2 in the afternoon, and 1 in the evening.
