First lady backs water

It came as no surprise that America’s First Lady Michelle Obama would promote the benefits of hydration in her campaigning to help people become healthier. But I was surprised as well as encouraged by the strength of her actual words, when she launched the Drink Up initiative earlier in September:

“I’ve come to realise that, if we were going to take just one step to make ourselves and our families healthier, probably the single best thing we could do is to simply drink more water…

“Drink just one more glass of water a day and you can make a real difference for your health, your energy and the way you feel.”

Almost the same words I’ve been using for over 20 years.
