Mzimba Central Seventh-day Adventist Church health officials warned residents to increase water consumption as extreme heat threatens public well-being across the region. Elder Matsiriza Namakhwa said bodies lose at least two liters of fluid daily through perspiration, breathing, and waste elimination. He told news reporters that people should carry water bottles when leaving their homes rather than wait for thirst signals that indicate a deficiency.
The department identified fatigue, headaches, dry mouth, and low blood pressure as common indicators of dehydration. Officials discouraged reliance on sugary or caffeinated beverages that worsen fluid loss. The church plans to continue wellness education throughout the summer months. Namakhwa stressed that frequent hydration represents a simple but effective health measure.
